New Andres Sarda Fall 2008 Lingerie Collection

by

We’ve always been fans of Spanish luxury lingerie designer Andres Sarda on The Lingerie Post and these two new lines that just arrived at Nancy Meyer are great too!

Musa Collection

Classically refined yet undeniably seductive. This collection refreshes a traditional look by complimenting delicate stretch lace with strong and bold silk accents.

Lustrous silk and delicate lace create a look that is sweet, yet super flirty. Rich, deep colored silk is contrasted by striking lacework in this indulgent collection.

Vintage Vixens – Tra-La-La Lingerie

by

Are you a vintage vixen? Then you are in luck! A number of brands are going the retro route with inspiration from the 40’s and 50’s.  A new brand, Tra-La-La Lingerie, joins the ranks of those doing vintage.  And, believe me, they are doing it very well!  Tra-La-La has taken the flirty, playful, and fun elements of that era and the technology and fabrication of this era and translated it into gorgeous pieces you’ll want to wear again and again.

Each collection has a theme (such as Bat Your Eyelashes, Fly Me to the Moon, and Ride ‘Em Cowboy!) and features a number of pieces from babydolls, camis, and rompers to high waist panties, hipsters, and tap pants.  Colorways for Spring begin with rich jewel tones and move to flirty pastels, classic black, and colorful coral.  The fabrics include stretch woven satin, elegant eyelash lace, and Egyptian cotton to name a few.  And, the details – to die for!   Perfectly placed pockets, beautiful bows, and riveting ruching and ruffles!

If that wasn’t enough, Tra-La-La also has the cutest, cheekiest novelty panties!  I can’t wait to own a few pairs myself!  With sayings such as “Catchy Number,” “Peek-a-View,” “Are my cheeks red?” and “Sitting Pretty,” these are guaranteed to be a crowd pleaser!

Tra-La-La Lingerie will be available in stores early next year.  See the photos below for a glimpse of some of the sassy styles of the collections.  And, of course, we’ll keep you posted on the latest developments with this new and exciting brand!
