Lace, silk and satin sex you up
French lace, silk, and satin — fabrics that both look and feel good — no wonder designers of fine lingerie always incorporate at least one of these luxurious materials into their creations. The ultimate confidence booster, armed with the ability to create (or hide) shapes and curves, fine lingerie can make any woman feel sexy about her figure. To keep you looking and feeling your best, here are my top three recommendations for “the sexiest of sexy” lingerie labels:
La Perla
The ultimate place to find classy and elegant lingerie, La Perla was founded in 1954 in Bologna, Italy. Using exclusive textiles, the company's main focus is on their craftsmanship. Understated, delicate and tasteful, the collections usually incorporate timeless colours such as: black, cream, or white. For added interest this season, a few pieces are available in violet and peach.
Classic slips, silk robes, bodysuits and bustiers, are assigned to two separate collections each season: one for bridal and one to celebrate the current fashion time of year. La Perla also makes men's underwear and undershirts too, so you can buy matching “his and hers” undergarments.
Agent Provocateur
Shamelessly kinky and tremendously sexy, Agent Provocateur makes it their job to be, well…provocative. Bondage-inspired playsuits, waist-cinching corsets, sheer babydolls and nipple pasties in every shape and colour imaginable (and yes, even ones with tassels!) make up the fall 2009 lingerie collection.
With names like The Nymphette Bra and The Hornette Playsuit, Agent Provocateur makes being sexy fun.
While fluffy pompoms decorate high-heeled mules for their shoe collection, they also have an assortment of swimsuits, a beauty product line featuring creams, candles, and soaps, and accessories such as: eye masks, gloves and jewellery.
Handcuffs, whips and an Agent Provocateur board game ensure you're not in your fifi bra and panty set for long.
Kiki De Montparnasse
The perfect balance between elegance and seductiveness, Kiki D gets it right. With their three different collections issued each season (Muse, Pin-up and Cage for fall 2009), it means that there's something for everyone.
While the Muse, this season, is tuxedo-inspired, the Pin-up collection borrows from the allure of the 20s flapper girl and includes fringed items. As for the Cage for fall 2009, it features a look similar to those strappy Yves Saint Laurent shoes I wanted last spring.
Kiki D also has a line of French lesson panties that come in sets of five, and teach phrases such as: “fesse moi” (spank me) and “attaché moi” (tie me up), among some kinky others.
Instruments of pleasure, as well, make up a part of the house of Kiki De Montparnasse, along with art, bath and body products, and aphrodisiac massage oils. Chocolate sauce l'amour, anyone?
