Spring/Summer here we come!

SS12 that is!


Trends for SS12 in lingerie have already got me excited!!! So here are the best ones!




Garden of Eden
This has to be my favourite trend!! Paradisaical prints and colours brimming over with botanicals, what could be better?! The prints and colour trends for this season are set to be spectacular with intricate and bold florals combining with soft tropical shades to give the perfect English GardenSS.


Wildflower Wonderland!
 
Enter Paradise


Cute as can be!


Lady Astray 
This is a trend to set your heart racing! To the untrained eye it may not sound much at first, but combine it with Garden of Eden and WOW!!! Mismatched prints, vibrant colour contrasts, layering and draping, underwear as outerwear and we have a Lady led astray. Buy anything you like, in any colour you like and wear it with whatever else you like and this season you won't be judged! The madder, the better this spring/summer. 
Of course, if you want to look your best there are still several style mantras you can follow to avoid stepping the line from 'astray' to off the rails.


Ellen von Unwerth shoots Kylie, two Ladies Astray!


Ellen does it again!


Uptown Girl, the perfect Lady Astray; a bedroom cluttered with beautiful things of and a pig!
Controlwear
A division of lingerie once kept hidden away has been growing hugely in popularity over recent years. Drawn from obscurity and shame by Bridget Jones and now an ever present part of almost every woman's wardrobe we just can't get enough of controlwear! And constant new innovations in fabric technology are leading to better and better results as well as more style.


Good old Bridget!


So they CAN be sexy!


Doesn't get better than this!
 So there we have it! Better get ready ladies it's only a year away!!!

Sunk in a little now...

Ok, so now I'm starting to get excited!


And so, secure in my own future am generously deciding to put up some of my experiments and some tutorials to help others that are currently in the awful position of having to make an entire portfolio good enough to impress one of the world's top fashion colleges with absolutely no clue as to where to begin. It might be interesting for other people too, if you want to try your hand at a few lingerie-based craft projects or just have waaay too much free time.


A little taste of what's to come:
  • Practical portfolio advice
  • Interview hints and tips
  • Lingerie experiments
  • Best of the literary world
  • Lingerie tutorials and know how
  • Top lingerie trends
  • Some other equally exciting stuff
Can you wait?? I can't!
