One luxury lingerie brand that always seems to be in the news is Myla. Whether it is stories about their Christmas lingerie corset or models working around a shopping center in Myla lingerie. They certainly do believe in publicity.
The company Myla is in fact two London designers namely Charlotte Semler and Nina Hampson. They had their first store in Notting Hill which opened in 1999. They actually teamed their lingerie in that store with a selection of bedroom toys which ultimately turned out to be a good market move. They then set up a franchise in Mrs Selfridges and opened further stores around London.
In 2004 they went international and today supply many celebrities with lingerie as well as support the cast of Sex and the city.
The aim of Myla is all about seduction whilst being sensual at the same time and anyone has to admit that they seem to have perfected this art down to a tee. In this space of ten years these girls have gone from nothing to supplying A list celebrities with their elegant lingerie. I think that needs a pat on the back. Don’t you?
Unless you have been living on a planet for the last few months then you will know that corsets are the latest lingerie range, whether you wear them as under or outer wear. There is a wide range available on the market but you need to know before you purchase, that any cheap corset is not going to look good and will end up in the back of your wardrobe.
A corset needs to be properly made by a corset maker in order to achieve the desired shape that you are hampering after. Always check with the lingerie salesperson who the designer is. My top two designers for corsets are Madame Sher and Agent Provocateur however do be sure to shop around as there are designers that take the business of corsets very seriously.
Another handy tip is to be sure that the corset is appropriate for the occasion. Wearing a black and red llingerie up corset to your new nephews christening will probable find you banned from family get together’s for ever. Corsets really are for evening wear down a busy club or rocking bar. Check out this video for some hints and tips on how to buy the best corset on the market.
One designer of luxury lingerie that is still relatively unheard of is Layla L’obatti. Leyla is half Persian and half American and has managed to combine the two cultures in luxury lingerie that provides unique, original and sexy but elegant designs. Layla is a believer in the strength of a women and likes to reflect this in her work. Her luxury lingerie is designed for the woman herself and not for the appeal to men. Her belief is…
“Good lingerie should make you look in the mirror and smile, it should let you awe at yourself, fall in love with yourself, because true love begins with loving yourself. A woman in love with herself stands strong with clothes or without.”
I don’t think you can find any better words then thisand that outlook on the luxury lingerie industry does reflect in her products. She says she has a love of silk, lace, pearls and cameos which she incorporates into her work. Her 2010 collection has just been released and is called Deco lace. It is a fantastic combination of black lace and peach satin. Check it out today. You won’t be disappointed.
Just released on the 3rd of this month was the Betty Boop collection from Cotton Club. It has the trademark Betty Boop lips combined with black see through lace and the collection like Betty Boop portrays a women to be fun, sexy and a heroine at the same time.It is still in it’s first month of release however is seeing raving reviews from all lingerie critics.
You really can not go wrong with any lingerie purchase from this outstanding Italian designer. Known in the trade for their quality, it has earned them quite a reputation and a strong base of customer fans. They are already in the top five list of Italian lingerie designers to be in the know about.
Cotton Club have designed the bras of their Betty Boop collection in push up, under wired and balcony to make them a set with some sexy thongs.
There is also a V body bodice and a fancy chemise if you would like to go the full mile. Cotton Club says their inspiration was to create a mischievous look while looking sensual at the same time. A good combination I think. Would you agree?
It’s is now official that the best lingerie ad ever is Agent Provocateur. You know, the one that got banned from everywhere for being to provocative! In the ad Kylie Minogue does a wonderful job of riding a mechanical bull whilst dressed just in her lingerie.
The best part comes at the end though when she says she has proof that Agent Provocateur is the most erotic and sexy lingerie in the world.
Expecting a blatant lie the viewer is then gobsmacked when she asks all the men in the audience to stand up. You can not help but smile when she does this.
The survey was done with ten other lingerie adverts of which Agent Provocateur came in first. To tell the truth the advert works and it does make you want to go out and buy heaps of their see through lingerie. If you have still not seen it then here is a special clip just for you. You will like it I promise.
The latest news to come out of the lingerie world today is that Diamond Boutique has invented some miracle fancy bra that every women will crave for. Eager to see this miraculous invention that the papers seemed to be raving on about I checked it out so elegantly being modeled by their current face Elen Rivas. It will go on sale in Tesco’s of all places but I supoose that is as good a start then any.
So what is so special about this fancy bra?. Well it has two cups, a selection of straps, 24 hook positions and another 28 on the back strap. Ok well I am confused before I have even put this fancy bra on. Apparently it will give me greater flexibility and unlimited ways to wear my bra. Now pardon me for being a fuddy duddy however I want to put my bra on and instantly look good in it, not mess around getting myself in knots for two hours before I go out.
If I want a halterneck bra then I will buy a halterneck bra, if I want a backless bra then I will buy a backless bra. I do not want to wear the same bra every day of the week. I will keep on eye on this for you girls and lets see if it takes off. Personally I think it needs to go down as daft invention but hey I am ready to be proved wrong.
Did you know that there is a lingerie football league?. I didn’t, I have only just come across this infromation today and I think it is fantastic. Apparently the best lingerie football team is the Dallas Desire who are numerous models by day and then at the weekend kit up in lingerie and football equipment to be lean and mean.
Each team has seven players and name themselves after lingerie names such as passion, bliss and seduction. Chicago, Miami, Philadelphia, New York, Tampa, Los Angeles, Seattle, San Diego and Denver have joined in and the lingerie league is set to go from strength to strength.
Players make their money from the amount of tickets sold and as it seems to be a growing trend it looks like the future will be bringing some good bucks in for these lingerie models. There are of course the critics who says that ladies in lingerie have no place on a football field however if people want to play to see them then who are we to argue?
Josie Natori is perhaps one of the queens when it comes to the lingerie business. The designs that she brings out year after year show that she is able to focus all her energy on luxury lingerie. It is amazing after buying her designs to learn that she did not infact start out as a lingerie designer but instead was active on the cut throat business of wall street.
Today Josie’s company can boast about being a household name with her ventures into luxury linens for the house, eye wear and perfumes. She is also a member of a number of women’s charities and can now proudly announce she is a grandmother.
She has four brands for her luxury lingerie which includeJosie Natori, Natori, Josie and Cruz. Her current collection teams animal print with luxurious satin and lace trims. It screams luxury and can make a woman feel sexy as soon she she wears the item whether it is bra, panties, chemises or one of Josie’s couture collection.
All my friends know that I love shopping at Passionata. I am even buying up stock from their recent Chanson d’amour collection. I now have more lingerie than I know what to do with but only just discovered today that Passionata is in fact part of the Chantelle French Lingerie company along with Darjeeling. The Chantelle group has been going since 1876 so that will explain why they are experts in fancy lingerie and capture my attention at every moment.
I am more excited however to wait the release of their Spring / summer collection that will feature their new model Bar Refaeli. Photo shoots show that the theme is 1960′s with a bouffant hair, headbands and a summer 60′s look. Colours of lingerie have moved to yellow, blues and flower prints however we still see the lace trims and bows that are so frequently appearing on lingerie everywhere.
Well done to Passionata for supplying to the demand of millions. They know what a women wants to wear and excel in everything they produce. French lingerie can definitely count me as one of the loyal customer.
So all the votes are in and the new angel of fashion lingerie house Victoria’s secret is Kylie Bisutti. I have to admit that she was not my first choice however I am warming to Kylie and think she will do well as long as she can deal with the fame that such a lucrative position brings. Least we not forget she is a newly wed as well and that marriage is going to be tested as Kylie’s husband has to stand by and watch her become one of the world most famous lingerie models.
Wearing the famous lingerie brand wings can bring money, fame and admiration but it all comes at a price. In just three weeks she has beat over 10,000 other hopefuls that wish to walk down that famous catwalk. At such a young age can Kylie Bisutti deal with it all?. It is times like this that I wish I had a crystal ball.
