Full Lingerie Kits from Trashy

April 17, 2008 by Rene

If you really need a full lingerie kit that extends way beyond the simple matching bra and panty, Trashy may be the brand for you. The number of pieces from a Trashy collection are simply unmatched by any lingerie vendor I’ve seen. There are 46 pieces in the Country Gingham collection, around 60 pieces in the Scarlet Fever collection, and 34 pieces in the Carousel collection.

From the Country Gingham collection is the Hearty Skirt at $75.00 and the Uncle Fluffy Skanty Belt with six garters for $60.00.

From the Carousel collection, this Chemise includes garters and a big bow for $180.00. You can even get custom stockings to stay with the look and design of the collection like these Fancy Marilyns for $25.00.

The front tie chemise priced at $135.00 is from the Scarlet Fever collection. This demi cup, underwire bra is from the same collection for $90.00.

A.F. Vandevorst Lingerie Spring/Summer 2008

January 16, 2008 by Mandolina

A.F. Vandevorst is a Belgian designer duo/couple/marriage made up of Filip Arickx and An Vandevorst. The couple met at the Antwerp Academy back in the late eighties, and they’ve been designing all round fashion collections ever since. Shoes, fashion, accessories and… LINGERIE! The lingerie line is pretty new (their first collection was just over a year ago — in 2006), but I promise you there’s no telling when you look at the pieces…

What a stunning collection — I’m impressed. I suggest you take a look at the rest of the AF Vandevorst collections while you’re at it — they’re all on afvandevorst.be (the lingerie collection is under the “Nightfall” tab). I hope I’ve enlightened some people today! 😀

Fall/Winter 07/08 La Perla Resort

December 24, 2007 by Kelly

Here in the US, most of us are bundling up right now, and lingerie aficionados are facing the dilemma of trying to stay sexy and warm at the same time. Of course, I know that some lucky people are planning a winter vacation away, and many of you in other parts of the world are in the middle of summer! La Perla knows this, too! They have just come out with their Fall/Winter 07/08 La Perla Resort collection.

According to La Perla, this new swimwear collection was inspired by “a fantastic era populated by pirates and noblewomen, constellated with the shining gold of imaginary treasure.” Colors like dove grey, pink, and black are paired with a lot of gold embellishments to produce “a striking, spectacular outfit” and “sophisticated style….with a modern feel.” So, how do they do it? With touches such as gold braiding, tailcoat-style embroidery, metal sequins, pirate stripes, and accessories like an 18K wraparound skirt! In true La Perla form, these pieces aren’t cheap. Expect to spend upwards of $600. But this just may be worth it if you are going on a fabulous resort vacation!

Baby it’s Cold Outside by The Modern Courtesan

November 28, 2007 by Kelly

I’m not usually a personal fan of the red and white lingerie that pops up everywhere around in December. I understand that Santa Claus is a beloved holiday icon, but I have no desire to put on lingerie that would remind anyone of an old fat man! That is why I was very surprised to see a red and white holiday collection I actually like. The Modern Courtesan has released its holiday collection “Baby it’s Cold Outside,” which is nothing less than sexy. It is festive without reminding anyone of an old, overweight man. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that the collection shares a name with one of my favorite holiday songs!
