Cosabella’s Fall Sex and the City Collection

September 12, 2008 by Krista

The hype surrounding Sex and the City: The Movie has long faded and many of us are already anticipating the rumored sequel. However, Cosabella is keeping the energy of the four ladies going by reintroducing the Sex and the City collection for fall. While the collection may include different styles, colors, and textures from the original collection released back in May, it continues to keep the sexy and sassy essence of the show and the characters. Available in stores now, just weeks before the September 23rd DVD release, the second Sex and the City collection is guaranteed to be a blockbuster.

Carrie is bold. For fall, the Carrie collection, including a camisole, brief, and g-string, is bold as well. In a vibrant pink called Lipstick, each piece is created from a new, scallop edged lace.

The classy Charlotte collection again uses the eco-friendly bamboo, but adds a 3/4 sleeve top perfect for the crisp autumn nights. The collection, including the long pants and low-rider thong, are available in an earthy Sage.

The sassy Samantha collection doesn’t disappoint! Complete with a bustier, low-rider hotpants, and a low-rider thong, the Samantha collection features a spotted black and tan feline print in tulle with black lace trim.

Miranda is polished, but playful. For fall, the Miranda collection again uses the contrasting tulle and lace combination, but in Cocoa and Pink. The collection includes a soft bra, low-rider hotpants, and a low-rider thong.

Cosabella is sold at retailers worldwide including Bloomingdales, Nordstrom, and online at Chic Mystique, Bare Necessities, Asos, and more!

Cosabella has just released a Fall 2008 Essentials Collection that will be a little kinder on the world. The new Eden Bamboo range is designed in a soft, luxurious blend of modal (made from the pulp of beech trees) and innovative bamboo fibers in natural colors like onion, carrot, ecru, radish, earth, and sage. The loungewear is simple but girly, with small ruffle details on the camisoles, babydolls, boxers, quarter sleeve top, thongs, and pants.

Other styles out for Fall 2008 are made of traditional fabricsand feature lingerie and sleepwear in bold colors, vintage-inspired laces, tattoo styling, and signature prints. For a bit of a flirtier touch, there is plenty of metallic embroidery, Swarovski diamontes, oversize florals, and shiny microfiber.

This is a great collection to celebrate Cosabella’s 25th anniversary! The company was founded in 1983 by Ugo and Valeria Compello. The company has headquarters in Miami, Florida, and the swimwear, apparel, hosiery, loungewear, and lingerie are manufactured in Italy.

Cosabella Sex and the City Collection: Launch Party Highlights & Fall 2008

May 27, 2008 by Krista

We are under a week until the movie of the year hits screens! Shown below are some photos from the Cosabella Sex and the City Collection Launch Party at Bloomingdales. The event was a lot of fun for all those attended. The first 100 attendees even received tickets for the NYC premiere of the movie on May 27th!

And if this hasn’t made your day, well, how about this? This fall, Cosabella will extend the Sex and the City collection to include new colorways and silhouettes!

The Fall Carrie collection will still retain a fun and fashionable essence, but will replace floral print tulle with scalloped edged lace. The cami, brief, and g-string all come in a gorgeous, vibrant pink called Lipstick. The Charlotte collection continues to use the amazingly soft and eco-friendly bamboo fiber. However, for Fall 2008, it is featured in Sage and incorporates a 3/4 sleeve top. Samantha takes sexy in a new direction with an animal print called Ocelot. The spotted print tulle is available in a bustier, low rise hotpant, and low rise thong. The hotpant and thong of the Miranda collection will remain, but a soft bra is introduced. All pieces will be featured in Cocoa with a Pink trim.

And that’s not all for the fall collection. Look for more details about the rest of the fantabulous fall collection in an upcoming post. In the meantime, channel your inner Carrie, Charlotte, Samantha, or Miranda and start shopping! In addition to Bloomingdales and Bare Necessities, the collection can be purchased at Chic Mystique or the HBO Shop (which also has a number of other SATC goodies, including a very cute eco-friendly dry cleaning bag!).

Bamboo Bliss: Eden Collection by Cosabella

April 22, 2008 by Krista

If you couldn’t already tell, I’m a huge fan of eco-friendly lingerie. Here’s a closer take at the Eden collection by Cosabella which features silky smooth bamboo fabric.The Eden collection consists of lingerie and loungewear with your ultimate comfort in mind. Pair a cami or another top with shorts or pants. Coordinate with a matching low rise thong. These natural, cozy (and antistatic!) pieces are available in the yummy garden hues of corn, carrot, sage, radish, earth, and onion. Choose one or choose them all. Each low rise thong comes individually packaged in its own minibasket.

So why bamboo? Bamboo is a naturally absorbent fabric that absorbs four times more than cotton keeping you comfortable and dry on even the most humid nights. Due to its mineral content, bamboo is odor preventative and stimulates the wearer’s blood circulation. Additionally, bamboo is antibacterial, breathable, and cool making it an ideal choice for anyone who wants to feel good on both the inside and outside.

The biodegradable bamboo used in the Eden collection is light, but resistant due to the advanced knitting techniques used to create the material. Micro-modal is added to the bamboo to enhance the natural shine and fall of the fabric. Modal is also a 100% natural product, made of beech wood, making the garments fully natural and fully recyclable. Not that you would be recycling them any time soon! The modal also contributes to the ability of the garments to withstand wash and wear, which means you’ll have them for years to come.

The Eden collection will be available this July. However, you should enjoy the many other comfortable, fun, and fashionable pieces by Cosabella including the newly released Sex and the City collection I told you about a while back. This collection includes the Charlotte group which also features bamboo fabric. Purchase online at Bare Necessities or Chic Mystique and at boutiques and major retailers near you. See the Cosabella site for more details.
