For fall and winter, UK-based Eternal Spirits comes up with 2 new collections: Gypsy Carousel and Cameo Collection. And when I say UK-based, I mean it: both sourcing and production remains as British as can be. All products are made by a very skilled in-house team. Corsets are handcrafted to traditional Victorian techniques using steel boning, in order to get that perfect hour glass silhouette. Susi Henson established Eternal Spirits in 2002 and is still at the head of her company. She wanted to put a bit of magic into every woman’s life through her lingerie. Fans include Dita Von Teese (and she knóws her lingerie!), Leona Lewis and Britney Spears.
Craftsmanship is absolutely showing in their fall and winter lines. This is not an ordinary corset, not a simple waist pie… This is art.
The Gypsy Carousel line is inspired by a magical antique carousel horse called Star. It’s a playful collection build around vibrant colors like canary yellow, fuchsia, emerald green, peacock blue, violet, teal and gold. Corsetry is as always steel boned and handmade. Lingerie and loungewear are made out of the finest and most luxurious silks, duchess satins and lace.
The Cameo Collection is decadent but sophisticated, and takes exclusivity in lingerie a step higher. Only 200 pieces of each style will be made in this collection, and each item comes numbered. Special fabrics such as ostrich leather and heavily embroidered leatherette are combined with silk satin and chiffon knickers, digitally printed with the unique hand illustrated cameo design.
Up until now I haven’t gone into temptation to buy yet… but I’m afraid I’m falling now… and I’m only with The Lingerie Post 3 days…
The catwalk show will take place on Wednesday 23rd May 2007 11.59pm on board the Fashion TV yacht named ‘Delphine’ in Cannes, next weeks center of the celeb world due to the Cannes Film festival.
