Specimens of Seduction

Earlier this week we posted on a luxury lingerie brand based out of New York, and lo and behold we have another amazing brand to share with you! This luxury label is called Layla L'obatti for Between the Sheets, also based out of New York. We've posted on this glamorous brand before, and this time we are sharing images from the Spring 2010 collection. For her eponymous label, Layla combines silk chiffon, Leavers lace and silk charmeuse to create a striking collection reminiscent of old Hollywood glamour. As a decorated graduate of New York's Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT), the designer is able to take a hands-on approach to designing, creating/manufacturing her collection and ensuring that the meticulous details of her craft are perfected.
If the high-end label isn't a match for your lifestyle, Layla O'batti has a casual, everyday/lounge collection called Between the Sheets (BTS). We actually own one of the BTS sweaters in black (the Well Played cardigan) which we wear constantly...it's cozy, chic and goes with everything!
To shop both of these collections which are available now, click here...there's free shipping on orders over $75.

Wow, what is it with the men's magazines stepping up their editorial content with such striking lingerie photos? We've been sharing quite a few images from GQ and Esquire these days with their tastefully elegant photo shoots featuring gorgeous lingerie. We suppose it makes sense that there would be plenty of eye-candy in these men's magazines! But we like that it's classy and elegant, tailored to a woman's taste as well.
The images featured in this post are of actress 24-year old British actress (and one-time teen novelist) Talulah Riley from Esquire UK. Talulah is probably only going to be recognized by our UK readers, but that's okay, because lingerie is universal and we like what we see! We noticed that she's wearing all British lingerie brands in this shoot, and now you can get an idea of why we carry so many British brands in our store!

These days it seems like we have been buried under the emails in our inbox, but luckily for us, last week one of those emails stood out because of its lovely content. That message was from Arielle ("Ari") Shapiro of the newly launched luxury lingerie line Ari Dein. This glamorous brand is handmade in Manhattan, and quite the class-act! We have to admit, it's rare to find a U.S. designer that specializes in luxury intimates, so discovering Ari was a pleasant surprise.
The general theme of Ari's work is an elevated style that borrows motifs from
"old New York and Hollywood Glamour, antiquated furniture, boutique hotels, art nouveau architecture, surrealist artwork and foreign cityscapes". No wonder it caught our eye!
Fine materials, beautiful details applied by hand, and nostalgic themes all contribute to creating a unique brand that is certain to make its mark in the lingerie world.
The images in this post are from the Fall/Winter 2010 collection, which means you will have to wait until at least August/September to own one of these pieces. There are also more pieces to the collection we haven't posted...but hopefully these will whet your appetite. Everyone in the lingerie industry is buzzing about this brand, so it's time you start buzzing about it too!
Expect to see Ari Dein at Faire Frou Frou this Fall!
