Dior Does it Again – Spring/Summer 2010 Runway Show

October 10, 2009 by Kelly

In July, we showed you Dior’s Fall 2009 couture runway show, which incorporated lingerie and lingerie-inspired clothing. The theme is back for the Spring/Summer 2010 ready-to-wear line – just look at these great photos! Designer John Galliano sent gorgeous lingerie down his runway – chemises peeking out of the bottom of trench coats; bras, knickers, and stockings visible through transparent top layers; and bustiers incorporated into tops and gowns.

Cleverly, the transparencies—such as a purple satin bra-and-knicker set, apparently seen through black tulle—were an illusion created by stretch, paneled underlayers, so that the pieces are actually slipped on in one. Stocking tops seen through the sheer panels in a copper lamé dress, and bras and panties glimpsed under a semitransparent tiered blue gown, were actually shadows stitched into underslips.

Here’s a video interview of Galliano discussing his inspirations and how he thinks his fans will react to wearing the pieces, as well as some runway footage:

Do you wear your lingerie as outerwear like this? Will you now?

How to Find the Stockings on Dior Runway

July 20, 2009 by Kelly

Last week, we showed you pictures from the latest Dior runway show. At the end of that post, I told you to check out Secrets In Lace for similar styles because many of the outfits on the catwalk reminded me of the brand…

We just heard from SIL and, as it turns out, all the stockings you saw on the models were from Secrets In Lace. Check out their website to purchase some of your own! Want to read a review before you buy?

Lingerie in Dior’s Fall 2009 Couture Runway Show

July 9, 2009 by Kelly

Monday night in Paris was an exciting time for fans of Christian Dior as well as fans of lingerie! John Galliano, Christian Dior’s creative director, was looking through old photos when he said that he “discovered an image of Marlene Dietrich in a tuxedo, with suspender straps attached to the bottom, the better to keep the jacket perfectly tight. Once I saw that I was flying.”

The result was the stunning Fall 2009 Couture runway show. Models strutted down the catwalk in outfits that reminded me of socialites not yet finished getting dressed for elaborate brunches or formal nights. They wore pairings such as voluminious jackets with garter belts and stockings, sheer crinolines, skirts with full slips, blazers with tap pants, ballgowns that revealed girdles, and dresses cut high enough to expose the skin between panties and stockings.

The models and the lingerie reminded me of many pieces from Secrets in Lace, so if you want to recreate some of these looks, I’d recommend checking there first!

Wild Orchid Lingerie from Moscow

April 21, 2008 by Brenda

When dreaming about places known for lingerie fashion runways, most people think of Milan, Paris or New York. One very rarely blurts out Moscow as the fist choice. Yet, Russian women are very proud of their lingerie and boutiques and shops are abundant. And Vendetta Lingerie Storefrontnot only has luxury lingerie become hugely prevalent in Russia but one particular Russian lingerie company has grown to become a major player in European markets as well.

Luxury lingerie Wild Orchid opened in Kent late 2007 and has been very successful. In fact, they immediately opened another two stores in London making the British total three under their label name of Vendetta. Having initially been distributors of fine lingerie when they started business in 1992, the Vendetta stores not only sell their own brand but also those of Christian Lacroix, Roberto Cavalli and Dior. Wild Orchid plans to open another store in March 2008 under the Russian name Wild Orchid that is slated to sell their Décolleté label.

One of the unique features of Wild Orchid and a marketing point that helps propelWild Orchid Lingerie its huge success is the company’s niche market. Contrarily, the thrust is not focused on women who need undergarments but rather women who are interested in quality, uniqueness and must-have creations.

Wild Orchid prefers to sell one expensive piece of high-end lingerie to a woman who appreciates the garment rather than sell six pieces to someone who just needs new undergarments. Women who shop at Vendetta are not interested in purchasing for quantity but instead for quality. Further, the company does not promote undergarments as a functional necessity. Maybe a fashion necessity, yes, but a functional necessity, no.

Alexander Fedorov, founder and president of Wild Orchid has poised the company for serious global expansion with plans to open stores in the USA, France and Italy. One of its biggest advantages over other lingerie companies is that most of its production is carried out in their own factories in their home country. Unlike other lingerie labels, Wild Orchid is its own manufacturer who is not required to depend on the Chinese factories.

Eugenia Silva — Intimissimi, Andres Sarda, …

June 27, 2007 by Mandolina

Eugenia Silva, born in Madrid and one of Spain’s most popular supermodels, won the Elite Look of the Year 1992 at 16, and has been modelling lingerie and swimwear for quite some time now. Decided to add some of my photo’s of her on the main blog in stead of the lingerie models blog, simply because of the Intimissimi and Andres Sarda pieces in some of the photo’s… 😉
