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.

Jesus Fernandez Retro Collection

November 23, 2009 by Bruna

Designer Jesus Fernandez takes us back to a time of beauty and glamour with the campaign for his new “Retro” collection, which seems to have gained a lot of inspiration from the flappers of the 1920’s. Fernandez used antique colors such as salmon, pale green, faded pink, beige and dark blue to create the gorgeous and delicate lingerie, which is topped off with plenty of feminine bows and ribbons.

“Retro means for Jesus Fernandez the femininity, the smoothness [and] the most precious garments,” reads Fernandez’s Web site. “In this collection we incorporated silk and a wide variety of Italian fabrics such as satin, musbiel, bisou, jacquards [and] French lace.”

Jesus Fernandez lingerie is sold in countries all over the world, but in the U.S. you can only find it in New York. One of the retailers is Azaleas located in Manhattan, which sells the bras for about $65 and bottoms for approximately $30. Check out Jesus-Fernandez.com.ar for other points of sale.

November 3, 2009 by Marissa

Lucy B makes vintage inspired lingerie that includes babydolls, lounge wear, camisoles, chemises, shorts, skirts, and bra & panty sets. I can’t help but think it reminds me of Gwen Stefani circa 1996, when No Doubt first got big. Their collections have names like Peaches, Sweet Tart, Bo Peep and Starlet that make you think of the girls of the 50’s.
