Britney Spears in Lascivious

by

Britney is on tour (she’s in London right now), and as usual there’s some… provocative outfits to help spice up the action. In these Circus shows, at one point Britney wears this breathtaking Lascivious bodysuit “Candy” from the Showgirls collection we mentioned back in April.

I think it’s great that for these European concerts, Britney’s wearing some more European outfits, and I’m sure the labels that were chosen to provide these are extremely excited about being in the spotlight.

I love Lascivious – and it’s pretty obvious Britney’s stylists share my taste. I hope that’s a good thing. 😉 Photos thanks to BritneySpears.com and Lascivious.

Lascivious Lingerie Spring/Summer 2009

by

Lascivious is one of those lingerie labels that does so much more than just designing beautiful lingerie. They’re a lifestyle brand in a way — and along with their new lingerie for Spring/Summer 2009, they’ve also launched a brand new website and…. a new deck of playing cards!

LASCIVIOUS Showgirls

Let’s start off with the lingerie. For SS09 the focus is on clean lines, strong silhouettes and a more directional fashion edge. Inspired by empowered, sexy women everywhere Lascivious designer Chloe Hamblen wanted to explore shape, structure and detail, with an emphasis on revealing and concealing with a modern twist. From the beautiful tulle and mink sophistication of The Elise collection through to the strong graphic lines and cut outs of the Lila collection There is a style and a statement for everyone.

SS09 Lascivious Lingerie

The showgirls “Candy” body is now joined by our new “Sailorgirl” and “Mariette” collections. “Sailor girl” is a naughtical inspired collection featuring limited edition “tattoo” stockings by the artist Kev Grey and “naughtical ties,” whilst The beautiful “Mariette” collection features nude mesh, Black fringing and the ever popular “Tassel suspender.”

The new “LOVE” playing cards have been launched and along with the previous “LASCIVIOUS” deck, repackaged to make way for future additions.

Can’t get enough off Lascivious? They’ve got some great desktop wallpapers on their site — I’m using one! 🙂

All of our garments and accessories are available in a wide variety of plain colours and uniquely patterned prints. Our clothing is designed for women who wish to look and feel beautiful, feminine and strong.

Her leggings are a very long palette of colours that has attracted the high end of fashion. For the Hussein Chalayan Paris catwalk show, the models are seen in Atsuko Kudo stockings.

Vivienne Westwood also showed the leggings in her Paris show for SS08.

Atsuko specializes in printed latex and her designs and efforts are broadening the appeal of a fabric that was considered fetish.

Atsuko has a partnership with Lascivious in the UK. So far, the results are gloves and a choker, but more to come, I’m sure.

Atsuko offers these guidelines for the care and handling of their special garments.

  1. Always use talcum powder or water based lubricant inside all rubber clothing before use
  2. Keep away from heat and daylight – even indoors. store in a dark wrapping
  3. Lighter coloured rubber can become discoloured when placed next to strong ones
  4. Metals can damage rubber i.e, belts, body piercings, coathangers
  5. Avoid contact with all oils. oils can mark and/ or permanently damage rubber i.e. greasy hands, baby oils
  6. We recommend the use of a rubber polish (eg pvc dressing. also known as pervoshine) in order to maintain the quality of the rubber
  7. As with all printed fabrics it is possible that the print on some printed latex garments may wear. this is more common where the garment is rubbing against itself (eg under armpits).
