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!
Amsterdam International Fashion Week: INDIVIDUALS by AMFI

INDIVIDUALS presented their rich and wearable Winter '09 "Holy Bleach" collection to an enthusiastic audience at Amsterdam International Fashion Week. "Holy Bleach" was inspired by the roaring 20s, captured by an era of cocktails and cobbled streets. The colour palette reflects the variations of natural shades, 'milch,' 'skin,' and 'cognac,' whilst 'lead' and 'morbid' provide the undertones of the collection. The contrasting colours represent the yin and yang of light and shadow; form and balance. Exquisite fabrics have been carefully selected for this collection. Skillful knitwear and recycled fur flaunts luxury. Knitwear underpins the season, both in use of marble colours and azure yarns and lurex. Opposites attract as bleached denim and leather give the season a young, sharp edge compared with the modest chic from the velvet and double weave. Key items were the naked and long jackets. The strapless dress is a beautiful example of modest chic, whilst the razor skirt gives more sharpness. The billow skirt is a surrender of fabric, opening and revealing itself to the world. The silhouette is generally straight, sexy and chic, revealing the figure through draping and fit.
