Cosabella Sex and the City Lingerie Update

March 1, 2008 by Krista

If you are like me and my girlfriends, you are eagerly awaiting May 30th – the premiere of Sex and the City: The Movie. Well, in April, prepare for a little taste of the movie through the Cosabella Sex and the City collection! As Kelly mentioned in a post back in December, each of the four collections is inspired by the unique styles and personalities of the girls. The collections are also reflective of the true Cosabella essence of comfort and color. At the Curve NY trade show, I was able to see the summer pieces up close and personal.

The “Carrie” collection is described as “whimsical and eclectic” and features a push up bra, bustier, and low rise thong in a black, floral print tulle. Of course, it wouldn’t be a “Carrie” look without the contrasting animal print trim! While the signature “Carrie” look is in Black Rose, the collection will also be available in Ivory Rose.

The “Samantha” collection is featured in juicy Passion Fruit and contains a spicy bra, low rise thong, and garter belt (of course!). Made with French Chantilly style lace with fine, micro-dot mesh, this collection is sure to please!

With contrasting Blue Violet and Sky Blue tulle and lace, the “Miranda” collection is chic and practical, just like the character. A molded bra, low rise hotpants, and a low rise thong are the signature items. Items will also be available in Magenta and Hot Pink.

And for the sweet and feminine, Charlotte, Cosabella has designed a camisole, long pant, and low rise thong made of soft modal and an eco-friendly bamboo fiber. The signature “Charlotte” collection will be featured in Ecru with Ecru accents, but also available in Black with Ecru accents.

I know these items will be worth the wait! Please let us know in our forums as soon as you see them at a store near you. In the meantime, buy other beautiful Cosabella camis, bras, thongs, and more at your local boutique or department store as well as online at Bare Necessities or Chic Mystique.

Burberry lingerie?

February 27, 2008 by Brenda

An icon, as far as luxury goods retailers are concerned, Burberry, established 1856, has announced that an underwear line is a distinct possibility. Speaking after his successful showing of the Winter 2009 Menswear line, Christopher Bailey, the Creative Director, responsible for Burberry’s collections and store images, has indicated that although a launch date has not been set, the notion of an underwear line was in the works.

Other high-end retailers have launched underwear lines in order to promote consumer loyalty and to gain more exposure by offering a segway into their brands. While Burberry launches more collections, designer underwear seems to be a natural fit.

In addition to the possibility of an underwear line, Bailey added that the new formats for the stores was well received and that more refurbished stores were on the way. Revenues were higher as a result of the new formats, which focus on a “southern” fresh concept and a “northern” cosier look.

Still growing strong after 150 years, the Burberry underwear collection should be a smashing success. We will have to wait and see if the first pair of undies will be fashioned after their trademark check (or plaid depending on where you live).

Lindsay Lohan splurges on Honeydew

September 22, 2007 by Kelly

Lindsay Lohan recently went on a shopping spree at a boutique called Mary Jane’s, reports E! Online. She visited the shop with two friends, and made a $1,200 purchase including lots of Honeydew pieces. The source says that her favored sets were designs made of black lace, green gingham, pink gingham, mesh cotton, gold-crown print, and more. She bought some other stuff, too, but that’s far less interesting to us here at The Lingerie Post. 😉 Looking at the Honeydew website, it seems she may have stocked up on several pairs of rumba panties.

I’m just glad she is finally joining the masses in our habit of wearing undergarments. We’ve seen too many tabloid photos lately proving otherwise – maybe now that she’s stocked up on so many pretty things, She’ll be more inclined to actually wear them!

Maggie Gyllenhaal to replace Moss?

July 24, 2007 by Kelly

A bit ago, we heard from several sources that Daisy Lowe was set to replace Kate Moss for Agent Provocateur – so many, in fact, that it seemed a sure thing. But now, The Independent and many other sources are saying that Maggie Gyllenhaal is set to replace Moss as the new spokesmodel!

Lowe seemed a fitting choice considering the information from Agent Provocateur before the announcement, so I have to say I was really surprised to hear this new information! I wonder if the false lead was planned? Everyone is buzzing about the bait-and-switch, and I have to say I’m a bit happy about the new information. I think that, with the right producers, the AP campaign could really transform her from girl-next-door to sexy star! And she definitely has a unique look – one that will stand out in the lingerie world.

We’ll be able to see on September 1 – the day the new ads will be available online!

Hilary Duff shops for lingerie at Faire Frou Frou

July 15, 2007 by Mandolina

I have to admit I missed these photo’s of Hilary Duff coming out of the Faire Frou Frou boutique earlier this week — so you may have seen these before on some celebrity websites… No reason for us not to include them too though! 😉

Hilary isn’t the only celeb shopping at FFF by the way, but privacy-wise we’ll wait until one of them accidently gets photographed again before we name more names! 😉 😀
