GLAMOUR PHOTOGRAFY

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, it just seemed appropriate to post pictures that include those cheerful pink stockings!  Actress Minka Kelly is snapped up by Ellen von Unwerth's lens and gives us plenty of pin-up prettiness.  She wears a variety of lingerie from D&G, Agent Provocateur (who made the aforementioned stockings), Fifi Chachnil (we actually had the white nightgown she's wearing) and Calvin Klein.  Hopefully this inspires you to put together a fun little ensemble for February 14th...perhaps the old trench-coat garter belt combo?
We have loads of new goodies arriving daily at Faire Frou Frou, so click over to see what's just come in!

Leave it to Ellen von Unwerth to feature lingerie in a playful yet risque way for VS Magazine. In her signature style, von Unwerth creates a Naughty Fairytale featuring coquettish girls having fun in very suggestive intimates. You can see the entire uncensored spread in the most recent issue of VS Magazine (we had to do a bit of light censoring as you can see).
We love that the models are wearing Bordelle, a UK lingerie brand coming to Faire Frou Frou this Fall! We're surprised there's no Fifi Chachnil in any of the shots...that's usually a von Unwerth staple.
Check out the frothy little video that accompanies this photo shoot...lots of Marie Antoinette-inspired eye candy!

On a completely separate note, have you visited the new Faire Frou Frou online store yet? Check out the site to see our new look!

How cute is that first picture with the 'Karl' panties?! That entire ensemble is adorable, even the satin bow around the waist. Here are a few pictures of Claudia Schiffer (our longtime favorite!) as photographed by Karl Lagerfeld for Vogue Germany (October 2009). Some of the lingerie includes pieces from Chantal Thomass, Fogal hosiery, Agent Provocateur, Myla, Lascivious & Moschino. Claudia can wear anything and look amazing...but the cute lingerie certainly does help!

Our dream event took place not too long ago...a lingerie runway show featuring the latest collections from Carine Gilson, Fifi Chachnil and Agent Provocateur! This event, known as Lingerie Miami, was a fundraising effort that benefits impoverished women living around the world. Hosted by Eva Longoria Parker, the fundraiser featured the top lingerie designers in the world, which also happen to be some of our favorites as well!
We will share more Fifi Chachnil images as we receive some of her new collection in July/August. We included a lot of Carine Gilson images because they appear to be from her current collection, and were all too fantastic not to share.
We're hoping to attend their next lingerie event in 2010...in NYC...we're crossing our fingers!

You can't get much more high-fashion than accessorizing your garter straps with diamond brooches from Van Cleef & Arpels, Boucheron, Graff, and Dior Fine Jewelry.
The following pictures were taken for V Magazine featuring model Jasmine Poulton's garters and underthings decked out to the extremes by stylist Bay Garnett.
Some of the panties shown in the photos are by Carine Gilson, Agent Provocateur, and Lejaby.
We were thinking it would be pretty to do the same with the lingerie in our boutique...take
a pair of Carine Gilson panties, pair it with an I.D. Sarrieri garter belt, layer a Mint Siren skirt over it, and embellish the look with some of the sparkly brooches you have from a few seasons back (remember when you just had to have them!). Our favorite look from this shoot is the Eiffel Tower pin with the pink Agent Provocateur stockings.
We love to see high-glamour lingerie shoots like this!
