We've actually posted Alisa Connan's photography on our blog before (for a spread she shot for Esquire UK) and today we wanted to share a few more lingerie images from her portfolio. It appears that Connan specializes in photographs of women, with a nice little niche selection of lingerie images. As you can see, her images are sensual but quite refined.

mulmul Cotton Loungewear

Here's a relaxing, beautiful way to send you off into the weekend...mulmul loungewear. Inspired by a desire to create sleepwear that crossed over to loungewear, designer Puja Chodha developed a romantic collection that is both relaxed and elegant. mulmul is named after a fine cotton muslin from India, and naturally that is what each of the pieces are made from.
The debut Spring/Summer 2010 collection is called "Waking Dream" which more or less means you can wear the clothes you dream in while you are out & about in your everyday life. Sounds like a lovely concept!
All of the pieces are designed and produced in New York and India. To see more of this luxury loungewear brand, click here.

We hope that by now all of our readers have seen Sex & the City 2 (SATC 2), and if not, you need to go see it! Granted, it wasn't the best movie in the world, but it's just so much fun to see our 4 favorite females together and in dozens of wardrobe changes. It's inspiring seeing so much glamour, and kind of fun predicting how the movie will affect fashion trends.
We had a great time identifying the lingerie in the film...it kind of felt like lingerie detective work. Carrie Bradshaw is the queen of perfectly layering her bra as outerwear, and really exemplifies the importance of glam underpinnings.
We are pleased to congratulate the small group of lingerie brands that made it into the film: Marlies Dekkers, Hanro, Eres, Huit, The Lake & Stars, Carine Gilson, La Fee Verte, Cosabella, On Gossamer and vintage Calvin Klein.
On a side note, we received word that a Fleur of England bra (called Raspberry Lace) was selected by Sarah Jessica Parker for the film, but apparently we just didn't see it...we wonder which dress it was concealed under! We were also told that SJP requested to keep the bra after filming wrapped for her personal collection (lucky gal).
