New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2010: Brian Reyes

image
When designer Brian Reyes noted backstage that his Spring/Summer 2010 collection contained "all the things he loves," he wasn't exaggerating. Even though his runway seemed to boast everything but the kitchen sink -- from sheer lingerie to multicolored high-waisted shorts to metallic off-the-shoulder dresses to ink blots(?!) -- he still managed to maintain a sophisticated sense of balance. Floaty ruffled blouses were reined in with cinched belts, and bustier dresses got a dose of high-wattage color to keep things young and fun, not vampy. As for the silk rorschach test body suit? That's the result of a creative thought process that perhaps only Reyes' #1 fan Rachel Bilson would fully understand. Flip through the slideshow to see some of the show-stopping ensembles!


Trends: tiered corset minis, sheer slip dresses, rorschach ink blot patterns, silk ruffled blouses, high-waisted shorts

Couture In The City Introduces Farr West Luxury Lingerie!

image
Lindsey Roscoe has been designing luxury intimate apparel for over 30 years. She began working from the time Farr West was established in 1974, along with her parents and co-founders Jack and Iris Farr. After earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Syracuse University in Fashion Design in 1974, she and her parents began their enterprise, and by 1979 Lindsey was the head designer and had her own Lindsey Roscoe label. She worked with luminaries such as Roy Raymond, who founded Victoria's Secret. Under Lindsey's direction, Farr West has designed numerous collections of intimate apparel, from luxurious robes to sensuous sleepwear to everyday undergarments. When her parents retired in 2000, Lindsey took over as CEO of Farr West. Farr West has made its specialty luxury undergarments with a strong emphasis on anti-cling slips and camisoles. Farr West's three registered trademarks include Farr West, with a collection of essential garments like slips and camisoles, Lindsey Roscoe, specializing in garments trimmed in high quality lace work, and Lindsey Luxe, designer silk daywear, super soft sleepwear, and garments made of stretch, anti-cling charmeuse developed by Lindsey herself.

Revamp Your Top Drawer With Retro Lingerie!

image
If the idea of retro lingerie makes you think of dreadful terms like "foundations" or worse, girdles, keep reading. Lacy little things have their place in many a top drawer, but retro lingerie, with a little more fabric and function, is just as alluring. Think along the lines of high-waisted panties and boyshorts, longline bras, tap shorts, and feminine ruffles- fun, right? The simpler shapes and modest cuts convey an innocence lost in the heaps of skimpy lace found in most stores these days, and even if you're far from innocent, it's fun to play the part every once in awhile. For a retro twist on a modern favorite, try Hanky Panky's hi-rise panty- it's perfect for high waisted jeans and skirts. Betsey Johnson's cami and tap pant set is a sweet take on this throwback trend, and if pale pink and ribbons are your thing, you'll love the charming 'Amelie' bralette from Undrest. Sure, these don't exactly agree with your SO's unofficial "less is more" mantra, but this was never really about them, was it? See the slideshow for my favorite retro underthings.

Rihanna Plays Peekaboo With Her Lingerie, & You Can Too With A Bralette!

image
Ever since I graduated from the realm of training bras long ago, I've had a love for fun lingerie... despite the fact that my decolletage sort of demands undergarments that are more functional than flirty and flimsy. And with the rise of peekaboo lingerie, namely bralettes, I can't help but lust after the lacy trims that have been peeking out from under low-neckline sweaters, boyfriend blazers, and oversized tanks -- another trend Rihanna rocks admirably! While they are meant to serve as lower-maintenance lingerie for the more modestly endowed gals, bralettes are primarily for show with their bright colors, bold patterns, and scalloped edges. Make sure you don't go overboard with the whole idea of show-and-tell skivvies, though; the idea is to leave plenty to the imagination and give onlookers just a glimpse! Luckily for me and all you other ladies who need a little extra "shelving," although bralettes don't offer much support (in fact, it would pretty much defeat their purpose), they can be layered to still achieve the peekaboo look without necessarily having to go commando. Check out the slideshow for some of my favorite little bralettes!

Make Your Intimates Go Incognito With Our 7 Favorite Convertible Bras!

image
Excluding those gals who have the unique ability (and required lack of shame) to go around commando on top, we've all found ourselves in the dilemma of finding a super-cute top or dress... but no bra to wear with it. Since I require some serious support when it comes to my undergarments, I've tried just about anything to make do with what I've got at the last possible minute -- sewing kits, safety pins (why did it take them so long to invent the Brabuddy?), tucking straps into my armpits, etc. -- but now that I'm a little older, I've learned that the easiest solution is to just shop wiser! Why spend money on a separate strapless bra when you could buy the ultimate convertible bra that's both strapless, strapped, racerback, and halter all in one? And instead of resorting to emergency double-stick tape for those how-low-can-you-go necklines, why not just buy a convertible plunge bra that can serve as your go-to undergarment for any cleavage-baring little number? Convertibility doesn't always equal convenience, however, as some crazily-shaped bras can sacrifice much-needed comfort and support, so I've compiled some of my favorites to weed out the good from the gimmicky! Check the slideshow for the best bra finds that will have you appear smooth and strapless in any outfit!

Hot Honeymoon Must-Haves!

image
Undoubtedly, everyone will think you look heavenly in your wedding ensemble. But even more undoubtedly, the one who proposed the marriage is thinking that big, expensive gown you bought to walk down the aisle in is hiding a bit too much. Let him sink his teeth into the heaven that lies underneath all of that silk and lace with an array of sexy lingerie like he's never seen. Cut-outs and baby-dolls galore, these picks are just the beginning when it comes to having the wedding night you've always dreamed of. Take your time in searching for all the right goods, though-- a honeymoon lasts longer than the night-of, so make sure you're well equipped for the fun nights ahead! I mean ... it's underwear, right? It's kind of something you need plenty of clean pairs of! Take a peek at this slideshow for what to pack for your honeymoon-wear wardrobe!

Fergie Wears marlies|dekkers Design During TMF Awards

image
Earlier this month at the TMF Awards (held this year in Rotterdam, the Netherlands), Fergie showed off a custom made look by famed Dutch lingerie designer Marlies Dekkers. Dekkers took her already unique triangle push-up bra - yup, the one Fergie wore in the "I Gotta Feeling" video - and gave it a one-of-a-kind twist by adding silver chains. The bra on its own is pretty spectacular, with slim elastic bands that secure a silver triangle, beautifully framing the neckline. Paired with the singer's leather-embellished black pants, it was one show-stopping, seductive ensemble with a dash of futuristic edge, perfect for the Black Eyed Peas' newly released album, "The E.N.D." We can't help but love this look - marlies|dekkers lingerie is too incredible to keep under wraps. See more from the ultra-talented designer here!
