Bra Selector

With exquisite styling in enchanting fabrics and the most delicate of colours, Triumph creates a lingerie collection for spring that will appeal to the heart and enhance the curves of every discerning woman.



The collection unfolds with gorgeous soft laces, embroideries and jacquards sitting alongside plainer and more sculptured shapes. Together, these combine effortlessly in a series of contemporary looks for every occasion and mood.

Ornate and richly textured embroideries and laces appear on the lightest of transparent nets for a sophisticated and seductive look. Supple padding, flexible under-wiring and clever seams gently support and contour, even for big cups. In fact, most of the new bras go right up to F cup (Luxury Desire, Lacy Desire, Lovely Passion).

The bras and sets will be available in Vanilla or Powder Pink, sizes: 32 – 44 B – F cups and are priced around £29.

Luxury Desire bra

The Luxury Desire bra (shown left) Features "galloon guipure tulle" embroidery in the upper cups and allover tulle embroidery in the lower section this light and luxurious bra is very desirable. For optimal fit and comfort, the sides and back are in stretch warp knit material and “comfort wires” are a special feature of the under wiring.

As I'm sure you'll agree, it's an elegant, sophisticated and sensuous look.

Seamless cup designs that gently smooth the body have sensuous second skin appeal. Soft and Nude with its clean, puristic lines incorporating flat and selvedge edges is almost undetectable under clothing.

Lending a soft, almost vintage effect to the season are gentle vanilla, apricot, rose and café latte tones with silver as a subtle contrast. And looking fresh, crisp and modern in the glossy new textures is classic white. Decorative straps, cleavage detail, pretty bows and delicate metallic trims are dainty touches. Matching briefs favour a deep square cut or high-leg.

Soft & Nude N Bra & Hipster

Barely visible, barely tangible! This smooth, purist series in Black and Café Latte clings like a second skin, thanks to its 2-zone fabric with its flat “engineered” selvedge edges. It is so light you’ll hardly even notice you’re wearing it!

The modern middle strap bra has seamless cups and crossover support at the front. It is decorated with a Triumph crown in crystallized Swarovski elements at the centre front.

This bra comes in sizes: 32 – 38 in A – C cups and is priced around £15.

Finally, the best sellers Amourette 300, Angel Curves, Intense Passion, My Desire, Romantic Desire and Tender Temptation are all given a makeover with shades from the spring palette.

Last week BraSelector caught up with Jenny Ambrose,
boss of Enamore, the fashion label leading “ethical trading” in the UK. So what’s it all about?

Enamore is a designer and manufacturer of fashionable and original ladies’ clothing, lingerie and accessories. There are and exclusive collections comprise natural and organic fibres, such as hemp, cotton, silk and wool, and recycled vintage materials.

Jenny has loved fashion and materials for many years and left fashion college to make her own designs and clothing using hemp and vintage fabrics in her works. After a great deal of hard graft and, at times, “quite miserable” living conditions Enamore was born and - we think you should all take a look.

Who said all the shops are the same these days? Enamore designs its own lingerie (amongst other clothing) and is more than just another “brand”. You can find its clothes in exclusive boutiques and online at www.enamore.co.uk. Now, time for some questions.

Bank of Scotland International will be raising funds for Jersey's After Breast Cancer Support Group in its annual lunchtime Bra Dash through St. Helier on Friday 25th May.

The Bra Dash will start at 12.15pm outside Bank of Scotland International's office on New Street in St. Helier. Runners are requested to either wear a decorated Bra on the day, or turn up in fancy dress, or both!

The Dash will race off down New Street, up King Street and Queen Street, as far Snow Hill. The runners will then turn around and head back down Queen Street, King Street and onto Charing Cross. From there, the Dash will head into Old Street, Union Street and back along the home strait to Bank of Scotland International's office on New Street.

There will be prizes awarded on the day for the best dressed team (£100), the person with the best decorated bra (£50) and the best fundraiser (£50.)

During the event, light refreshments will be provided by Fitness First and Maids of Honour. Fitness First is also offering free personal health checks to everyone involved on the day.

Tony Wilcox, Managing Director at Bank of Scotland International, says:
"We look forward to welcoming everyone to this years' Bra Dash event and helping us to make this an event to remember."

For the second year running, the funds raised during the Bra Dash will be used to support the ongoing work of Jersey's After Breast Cancer Support Group. Set up in 1999, this local charity aims to promote awareness of breast cancer issues and provides patients and their families with hope, support and friendship at any stage of treatment.

Pippa Simpson, chairperson of the After Breast Cancer Support Group, commented, "We wish the best of luck to all potential Bra Dash runners and would like to thank everyone in advance for their continued support."
