O La La Lingerie for Xmas

by Gabrielle on December 11, 2010

For Christmas Gossard have brought out a lovely range of bras called Cancan. I love this superboost one for amazing cleavage.

Luxurious satins, delicate lace add a Parisian feel and invoke memories of Moulin Rouge….. Fab and fun for Xmas.

I love to go shopping in Paris at this time of year. I tend to go to Galerie LaFayette and Printemps. I love them both!

As a stylist I know that good underwear makes or breaks an outfit. Great dresses can be ruined if the line is wrong. It also makes me feel desirable, sexy and elegant. Looking at what is new I found this lovely bra at Lingerieplease.co.uk from Gossard. It is called the Georgiana Balconette and is in lovely black and gold.

La Lilouche is a very new designer label with Luxurious high quality lingerie in the boutique, where you can find beautiful hand finished silk lingerie pieces that are as sophisticated as they are erotic. from designer bras to the perfect babydoll for a Romantic night in!

They create only limited editions collections using 100% silk fabrics, satin silk, Chantilly laces, with exquisite details of ribbons, beads, swarovski crystals ,with each individual piece hand finished. Lalilouche.com

New at Selfridges exclusively is Pussy Glamore, featuring shades of pastel sea foam and truffle, with a delicate black lace detail and intricate edging, each bra is finished off with a back bow. Both colour ways include thongs, bras and suspender belts, with the sea foam collection including a sexy nightie, to keep you looking and feeling cool between the sheets.

Whilst my favourite for French Lingerie in the UK is Agent Provocateur. With hugely successful models like Kate Moss, Alice Delall, Helena Christianson and Recently Pixie Geldof showing how to sizzle in style.

Agent Provacateur was founded by Joseph Corre, the son of Vivienne Westwood and his now ex-wife Serena Rees in 1994. The first store was opened in Soho with aims of selling high-end lingerie.

All my favourite underwear is French. The Lingerie Department in Galerie LaFayette is a real treat!! Look at this wonderful feathers dressing gown from French designer Maguy De Chadirac.

This is her first collection of Lingerie inspired by elegant pre-war Hollywood. Each beautiful piece comes gift wrapped in a signature black and gold box. Maguy is couture trained having worked for Alexander McQueen, Louis Vuitton, Yves St Laurent, and Christian Dior.
