A love Affair with Italian Lingerie

February 9, 2008 by Romy Wyser

As an established E-Boutique Silk Storm has enjoyed bringing some of the most exclusive Italian Designers and collections over the last few years. This season was especially strong for our current Italian Brands, Argentovivo, Valery and Cotton Club. These designers consistently sell well and have established a strong brand following on Silk Storm so we are always excited to see the new collections. My personal love affair with Italian Lingerie is definitely being lived out through Silk Storm, it’s a wonderful job! Our loyalty to these brands extends from their quality, the excellent fit and the the wonderful feedback we receive from our customers.

Argentovivo always delivers what the Italians are best known for, beautiful classic design, attention to detail and fabulous quality. Their collections always tell a story and the images never fail to seduce you, always living up to expectations when ordered. This season our best seller was the Playpen Bustier but the sumptuous Cashmere Pyjamas were also a huge hit this Christmas. Argentovivo is always the first choice in the Italian Designers for our male customers, im sure its not to do with the stunning models that are always used!

I love the contrast with Valery, as a label it has all the Italian flare and sex appeal but manages to create it’s own unique style with a softer more delicate look that has firmly established itself as one our top selling collections for our female audience. I have thoroughly enjoyed helping to build the presence of Valery online, which as a brand is already hugely successful in the lingerie stores across the world. This Christmas Douche De Champagne was our best selling camisole with the season’s hottest shade of purple. The fine lace detail was exquisite. Watch out for some fabulous new Valery Swimwear in the Spring!

Cotton Club has always been a personal favourite, I adore the finish and the fine detail which really makes you feel quite special when you wear it. I’m extremely excited about the new Spring Summer Cotton Club ranges we have arriving later this year they are fabulous. As a brand I think Cotton Club always produces the most wonderful chemises, and nightdresses. This season was no exception the Natale Christmas collection was absolutely stunning, fine layers of tulle with Swarovski detail and tiny embroidered flowers this became the number one nightdress this season. Cotton Club’s Seta Silk collection is also one of the best silk collections available in my opinion and if your looking for something to really impress then this Italian Classic will always deliver.

As Valentines fast approaches our love affair with Italian Lingerie will be the perfect inspiration to those looking for something really extra special…

Valery Lingerie Fall/Winter 2007

November 1, 2007 by Mandolina

Valery hasn’t gotten the attention it actually does deserve on The Lingerie Post. For many seasons, it’s one of the best selling Italian brands at Silk Storm, and their brand new AW07 collection is another excellent line of delicate and female lingerie.

My own little favorite is the stunning Caresse Balconette (Â£65 at SS, Â£45 for the matching briefs!) — but my friends seem to like the eccentric Douche De Champagne Lace Top (Â£185 with matching thong!), and I have to admit it’s the most eye-catching piece in the collection… 😉

Enjoy the sexy photos, straight from the Silk Storm website — if you feel like shopping, check them too! 🙂

Silk Storm: New and Improved

July 25, 2007 by Mandolina

Silk Storm has been on The Lingerie Post many times before — and that’s both because of their excellent brand selection as because of their ability to give their customers the whole package: an easy website, beautiful photo’s, competitive pricing and a store-keeper that’s always happy to help and assist. With their gigantic website update yesterday, they improved the first two of these things even more.

Silk Storm New Website

The first new thing is the look and feel of the website. With a new logo and a complete redesign Silk Storm can now easily rank themselves amongst the most beautiful in the industry. They have also added some very useful new things such as the catwalk feature videos. They’ve got seven now — but promise more in the near future! Browse through the Silk Storm page and find out how well-organized it all is yourself!

The second big new thing is the “Seven Steps of Desire” program. As Silk Storm was already well-known for their membership spoiling — they’re trying to do better with this loyalty program. Again — read the details on the SS website — but expect freebies and discounts.

Check out the website — you’ll be amazed!

Shining In The Night: Lingerie To Dazzle

March 21, 2007 by Charly

Imagine this summer: a romantic dinner on the seaside, candles on the table, full moon sparkling over the calm sea and stars shining up in the sky and down in your bra. Don’t dream anymore because you can have it right now (at least the bra), because this summer many brands have released crystal embroidered underwear. These garments are obviously not for everyday-wear but for those special times, those weekend breaks or romantic dinners you can add the elegance of the crystal to your ‘wear to impress lingerie wardrobe’.

You have a wide range to choose: bras, briefs, basques,… and many prices: from most affordable to the top luxury with champagne bottle included. But lets see what we can pick: webshop Figleaves UK and Figleaves US offer us different models from different brands. The Spanish Andres Sarda, has a selection of underwired bras on which the central gore features a bow with a swarovski crystal charm. Aubade follows the same principle with the Villa Caraibes half cup bra in which the central gore is adorned with a shiny swarovski crystal. For a more lit-up look we have the Christies Platinum collection, currently on sale too!. The bra and bustier in this line have padded cups embroidered with crystals and one in the central gore to finish the look.

We can also find glimmering underwear on other websites like Silkstorm. Though there aren’t many sets the look and quality of the one they have stand by its own. We can pick a lovely pink satin bra and brief set or a luxurious black tulle camisole with hand sewn jewels from Cotton Club, an Argentovivo Limited Edition Bra that includes an Moet & Chandon bottle or, if you want to add a little bit of spice to your nights, a black satin cuffs adorned with swarovski crystals.

At silkstorm, they even have crystal-embroidered swimwear. Take a look at this beautiful Valery Metallic halterneck, finished off with Swarovski crystal on the cups.

So right now you are just one click away to dazzle your boyfriend after that romantic dinner under the moonlight he has prepared for you ;)!
