get your knickers out



Every season I experience love at first sight with one trend on the catwalks. This time its the new lingerie inspired look. Its a bit of Lady Gaga edgy meets Brigette Bardot feminine. Probably not one you will be wearing to the office, but what the hell - I give myself permission to unleash the inner hussy!

The first photo is a gorgeous corset by Antonio Berardi who adopted the 'underwear as outerwear' look for his show. I am kinda in love with this whole look. In the way that I want to elope with it and have its utterly chic babies. Whoops, sorry over share! The second picture is from the Christian Dior show - this is actually a dress with the corset look on top. We can probably expect to see the look adopted for the High Street like this to make it more wearable and less extreme.

Speaking of extreme fashion - this look extends below the waistline too. Better ditch those grey its-wash-day beauties, because this season, designers like Fendi and Marc Jacobs want to see your unmentionables. Not a trend for the faint of heart or chubby of thigh - note to self: approach with caution.
