Elle Macpherson Intimates

Elle Macpherson Intimates lingerie is a huge success, and with good reason but it is fair to say it occupies an expensive price range. Here is Bra Selector’s top pick and two tips to help you save some pennies and bag yourself some killer undies.

Intimately sheer, this gorgeous lace notes bra from Elle Macpherson is sexy but subtle. Underwired, 3/4 cups support & enhance your bust, the adjustable straps offer you flexible comfort. Lace trimming & pretty bow details complete the style.

Australian supermodel Elle Macpherson stopped the traffic when she launched her own lingerie range with Bendon Ltd in 1990.

These days, however, Elle doesn’t need to appear in the campaigns: thanks to its fashion-forward styles and feminine feel, her label is now hugely popular in its own right.

If you get on down the Figleaves quick you can pick up Elle Macpherson Intimates in their big sale. Don’t worry if you’ve picked this blog up later on though – you can compare prices on Elle Macpherson intimates any time.

Elle Macpherson talks sexy lingerie with PM’s wife

Yes, I had to share this with you. Sarah Brown interviewed Elle “The Body” Macpherson, creator of Elle Macpherson Intimates during her stint as the News Of The World’s guest editor – and I thought they’d turned Tory.

Apparently Elle stays healthy by drinking 6 bottles of water a day and is partial to herbs when feeling unwell.

When asked about her fabulous range of lingerie she acknowledged the fact that not all women have such enviable figures.

I’m conscious when I’m designing lingerie of the need to create for all different types of women, so that my designs enhance the proportions of a woman’s body. Most women want to make their hips look narrower and their breasts look bigger.

What more could you want – it’s obviously the secret to Elle Macpherson intimates success.

Bluewater lingerie boutiques

I went to Bluewater just last week, and was impressed with the upmarket lingerie boutiques and general lingerie and bra shopping opportunities. Bluewater really is a great place to pop along to if you’re looking for a new bra, or even some elegant lingeries for special occasions.

The first store I stumbled accross was Myla who have stores throughout the UK but opened their doors at Bluewater on Saturday 23 May.

Next up, the fantastic Rigby & Peller currently has stores located in and around London in some of the most prestigious shopping locations including Knightsbridge, Mayfair, Chelsea, Westfield, Brent Cross and of course here at Bluewater.

Triumph opens autumn with retro lingerie

Seductive shapes, romantic materials and vintage colours are the key trends as Triumph revives 1950’s lingerie and brings it right up to date with design twists and the latest materials in a collection called “Newstalgia”.

The importance of texture is displayed in extravagant, semi-transparent laces and delicate ribs. Pearls, buttons, bows, ribbon lacing and pretty rouleau and picot trims bring a touch of opulent, old-fashioned charm.

Triumph Amourette Sweet

For example, the Padded décolleté bra and hipster (left) are in Vichy check jacquard and stretch lace in white or pink. In the popular Amourette cut, these styles promise optimum comfort, support and elegance in a wide range of sizes. The bra gives a beautiful neckline and cleavage, and the lace hipster – with no side seams – is particularly comfortable to wear.

Deep, intense petrol blue glows alongside soft vintage shades of pink and brown. Sparkling white and dramatic black are the contrasts.

Underwired bras focus on decorative plunges and straps; briefs look new with high waists and square cut legs. The look is provocative yet elegant, bold yet romantic.

Large bra sizes too
As always, Triumph really spoils the curvy lady, meeting the challenge of offering her elegant, seductive fashion combined with maximum support, perfect fit and optimum comfort, by making subtle design adjustments such as wider straps and strengthening linings in D+ cups. This season there are even more bras in big sizes and cups – all picking up the on-trend nostalgia theme.

At the end of the year, a bright, festive look emerges with shimmering red and black satin. Seductively styled in lace and embroidery with rich patterns, gold-coloured lining and twinkling crystal trims this is Christmas glamour at its best.

We expect to see Triumph’s new collections at Figleaves.com and John lewis.
