Gemma Arterton is a name we will be hearing a lot more of, according to the April 2010 issue of British GQ. The young star, who's claim to fame is having been a Bond girl, will soon star in the movie (& expected blockbuster) Prince of Persia. We have to admit, we didn't know her name before doing this post, but have a feeling we won't forget it!
Of course our main concern is the beautiful lingerie Gemma's wearing, particularly in that first shot! We love that the red Marlies Dekkers bra made the cover shot, and the La Perla panties with the Roksanda Ilincic corset top in the first picture is brilliant.
You can actually see a short video dedicated to this photo shoot on the GQ website here.

Busy, Busy!

We've been pretty busy lately, so this post is going to be short. Or perhaps it was just a good excuse to share this cool picture by Mario Testino!
We'd like to think a short post is better than no post!

Lingerie is Taking Over the World of Fashion!

Ahh, we love it! We were so pleased to see that lingerie was the focus and inspiration behind the Christian Dior Couture Fall 2009 runway show. Thanks to WWD, we discovered this gorgeous retro-inspired collection. Designer John Galliano stated that "it all begins with the corset", and from there his models displayed the most intricate, exquisite undies imaginable — hand-made bras, corsets, girdles, garters, tap shorts, stockings (via WWD). Furthermore, Galliano created jackets, skirts, slips, etc. that would deliberately expose the beauty of the undergarments. Once again, we see the 'no pants' look...it won't be long before you and I are pulling this off!
