Agent Provocateur Spring/Summer 2012: Soft Focus Seduction

Inspired by the romance of the 1970′s, Agent Provocateur’s new Spring/Summer collection (featuring French actress Mylène Jampanoï) is all romance, lace, and flowers. Agent Provocateur has found their formula and they’re sticking with it; the Fifi and Daena pieces in particular strongly resemble lines from previous collections. Of the four sets, I believe the Mercy corset is the strongest piece, especially when paired with it’s rather striking coordinating skirt. After that, I love the Sprinkle range for it’s playful polka dota.

What do you think of Agent Provocateur’s new Spring/Summer range?

'Daena'

'Mercy'

'Baby'

'Fifi'

Bra Fitting Formulas: Is the ‘War on Plus Four’ the Answer?

There’s been a really heated debate happening on Twitter today, and though I usually try to stay out of these (almost nothing good comes out internet debates), this is one case where I feel genuinely compelled to offer an alternative point of view.

If you’ve not yet heard of it, The War on Plus Four is the brainchild of Busts4Justice, a UK based lingerie blog that achieved worldwide fame when they protested Marks & Spencer charging more for DD+ bras. The group won their fight in 2008, and Marks & Spencer now offers only one price for all sizes (and rightly so, might I add).

What’s an ‘Independent Lingerie Brand’ Anyway? (Plus a Major Valentine’s Day Lingerie Event!)

Catherine (from Kiss Me Deadly) and I have been doing a lot of chatting lately, and one of the things we’ve realized is that while she’s the head of an independent lingerie brand and I’m blogger who supports independent lingerie brands, we’ve never exactly talked about what an independent lingerie brand is or why they matter in the multibillion dollar economic machine that is the mainstream lingerie industry.

The Victoria’s Secret Designer Collection: Luxury Lingerie at Your Local Mall?

Is Victoria’s Secret feeling the pressure from luxury lingerie boutiques? The national retailer known for deals like 3/$30 panties is expanding into the world of luxury lingerie with their new Victoria’s Secret Designer Collection.

With knickers starting at $38, bras at $98, and teddies at $168 (along with a sheer lace corset that retails for $298), Victoria’s Secret is positioning itself as your high-end lingerie alternative just in time for Valentine’s Day. The lace overlays and ruffles have a somewhat more European vibe, but the shape and silhouette is still 100% Victoria’s Secret. What do you think of this new range? Any plans to try it out or should Victoria’s Secret stick to what it knows?
