New collection

Hopeless’ The Voyage 2010 Lingerie

December 19, 2009 by Mandolina

Hopeless is a beautiful small Australian hand-made lingerie label operating from Etsy. We’ve actually interviewed Gabrielle Adamidis, the Hopeless Designer in February – and we’ve been awaiting a full new collection like this one quite a while.

A gorgeous Naval-inspired silk lingerie collection. All hand-made, all extremely decadent… We asked Gabrielle about her inspiration:

“…the third Hopeless range entitled “The Voyage” – based on Steven Spielberg’s Jaws. Taking inspiration from the sharks teeth, the blood in the ocean and the waves of the sea. Basically I spent a lot of time looking at stills from the film, and got inspiration from unlikely places. I feel the best way to make something new is to look in unexpected places, and there are so many ways to interpret that information. Always in my mind as well is creating flattering shapes, for a range of different figures. This is something I am really trying to master in my fitting and pattern-making. I want there to be something in each of my collections for every type of body shape. I want to try and make every woman believe she is beautiful, and pretty silk things can help!”

Assia Lingerie 2009-2010

December 18, 2009 by Quick Blurbs

Assia is a relatively unknown French lingerie label we’ve never shown you before on The Lingerie Post. Their website (only available in French) is reasonably unclear as to whether this is a collection for a specific season or a year-wide collection. I suspect it to be the second.

All made in an artisan atelier in Lyon, France – and sold all over the world in very select boutiques. Two in the US, a couple across Europe and Asia and on their own e-shop at lingerie-assia.com. Never tried Assia before – I have close to no info – but found these new photos and wanted to share anyway.

Want a chance to give Assia a try? La via, L’amour currently has a site-wide sale going on (30% off the entire stock!), and they carry some Assia from last year. The sale ends on Monday though, so don’t wait too long…

Do you have more info on the label? Let us know via our forums!

Kiss Me Deadly Winter Collection

December 18, 2009 by Kelly

Have I mentioned how much I love Kiss Me Deadly? Because I do. Everything is so sexy with a vintage/retro touch, and it’s comfortable enough (and the prices are reasonable enough) to make it your go-to range for everyday lingerie. This winter collection is no exception! Here’s what’s new this season:

Alouette is back in a limited-edition peach range. Alouette includes a waist cincher, garter belt, brief, and bra of black lace over shimmering peach fabric.

The Jezebel range includes a fantastically seductive longline knicker based on vintage pantygirdle styles. The Jezebel cutout brief has a peephole in the back to show off your booty!

L’Amour offers waist reduction and sleek styling from the basque and cincher, both of which have a double layer of stretch control mesh and steel boning. The six suspender straps on both are detachable.

Finally, the Ruby Van Doren looks very much like the Diamond Van Doren from August, but with a new red trim that makes it perfect for the holidays!

You can find Kiss Me Deadly at La Magia, Hepburn and Leigh, Fairy Goth Mother, and Panty Salad.

Another Jesus Fernandez Lingerie Summer 2010 Preview

December 18, 2009 by Marissa

Jesus Fernandez makes gorgeous handcrafted lingerie. Maybe it is because he has that innate sensual taste that all South Americansseem to have. The Buenos Aires based Argentinian designer has some of the most beautiful lingerie designs I have seen in this Retro Collection. Each piece is hand made, the website describes the process, “After selecting the fabrics carefully and using high profile materials, we design and put the patterns together. Each product is treated as unique, we apply processes of manual cutting, artisanal dyeing and we pay great attention to craftmanship and detail resulting in exclusive and original product.”

Jesus Fernandez’ Spring 2010 collection is titled Retro and features elements from the twenties. Satin, lace, pearls and bows give the collection a vintage feel. The intricate embroidery also has a Great Gatsby style inspiration that makes you wish you were there.

Diamond Boutique Launches Revolutionary Bra

December 15, 2009 by Bruna

Elen Rivas, the face and body of Tesco’s Diamond Boutique lingerie range, has just unveiled a new revolutionary style for the retail giant: the Limitless Bra. Designed by the creators of Ultimo, the new bra—dubbed as the most innovative lingerie ever—took an entire year to make. It comes with a selection of straps and features a whopping 24 hook positions in each cup and another 28 on the back strap, offering women an enormous variety of ways to wear it. And at only £16 ($26), the style is truly a super value.

It’ll be available in black and nude and in sizes 32 to 38, A to D. Michelle Mone, founder of Ultimo, told the Daily Mail the bra is a “must-have” for every girl’s top drawer. “These days fashion is so experimental, it’s often a hassle finding the right bra for the right outfit, any girl will tell you,” she told them.

In another interview with Marie Claire UK, Mone said: “The Limitless Bra is unlike any other bra available on the market and can be worn hundreds of different ways. Women will be thrilled to find out that this really does deliver every bra style they will ever need, plus some!” Sounds super exciting!

Desperately want one yet? According to the same Marie Claire article, the style will hit all Tesco stores and the Web site December 10^th.

Check out some of the ways the bra can be worn below!
