Playful Promises: Shanghai Boudoir Fall 2009

November 20, 2009 by Marissa

Emma Parker is the designer behind the Playful Promises lingerie brand and she does not disappoint with her Fall 2009 collection. The mood of the collection is Shangahi Boudoir, described as, “Be seduced by the sophisticated romance of 1920’s Shanghai. Reflecting the explosion of creativity, within the decadence of this sparkling city, and oozing with style and glamour, this collection salutes the clash on conformity and creativity that defines the golden days of Shanghai.”

Highlights of her collection include a provocative cut-out embellished high waisted briefs, the Nu Nu Rouge chemise (pictured above) and adorable silk corsages bra and panty set.

Playful Promises Stock Stolen – Can You Help?

October 10, 2008 by Mandolina

Playful Promises designer Emma is devastated after a very large portion of their stock was stolen from a warehouse — and they’re hoping to track it down with the help of the industry. Here’s the message she sent out:

Hi all,

We have had a break in at our storage at 219 Bow Rd in London and had 8000 units of our current collection A/W stolen last night. The police are investigating but if anyone is approached with Playful Promises stock that is not direct from us or sees it for sale in any unlikely places like markets over the weekend please urgently inform us so I can pass the info onto the police as you can image this has a phenomenal wholesale value and is a major problem for our small business.

Sorry for the impersonal nature of the email and it has gone out to almost everyone in my address book but I have a feeling the stock is going to show up in markets or sold in bulk for a discount as it would be quite hard to shift 8000 units of distinctive stock and feel the best chance of recovering it is by alerting as many people as possible who might see it floating about.

Thanks,
Emma

Playful Promises SS09 Launch Party!

September 5, 2008 by Lisa Williams

It was time for tea for Playful Promises last week as we threw a fabulous press day party – ‘Cream Tea and Corsetry’ – in the lavish surroundings of Portland Place with Kiss Me Deadly and Lulu and Lush!

After the initial panic of trying to remember all of the days essentials (2 taxis were required to go and pick up our forgotten samples – oops!!) we were served cups of tea from beautiful china teacups by cute 1920’s flapper girl waitresses courtesy of the lovely Bettie Blythe, and devoured way too many cheeky knicker-embellished ‘Eat Me’ cupcakes by ‘The Great Cake Escape’!

Cream, Tea and Corsetry

The magnificent shabby-chic setting was perfect to view the new SS09 collections from Playful Promises, Lulu and Lush and Kiss Me Deadly!

The burlesque beauties, ‘Two To Tease’ featuring Cordelia and the dazzling Princess of Soho, Cheyenne Raymond showed off Playful Promises and Kiss Me Deadly’s saucy sets with a seductive strip-tease performance!

We have also discovered a great new way of designing future collections! We had a wonderfully hardworking production line of guests busy customising corsets, frilly knickers and candy-coloured girdles with an array of glittering Swarkowski crystals, lace-trims, flowers and bows!

Customising corsets Playful Promises

Speak to you all really soon!
