GLAMOUR PHOTOGRAFY

Discovering images such as these makes our job as lingerie bloggers quite easy;  just look at how exquisitely tasteful and elegant each image is!  You will not be surprised to learn that the model is a recently selected Victoria's Secret model (Katsia Zinga), and that the intimates she wears in these pictures are most certainly not from her new employer.  The only brand we can definitively make out is that of Carine Gilson, and with regards to the remaining pieces we are hoping to learn who designed what.  In the meantime, these images were begging to be shared! 
Our favorite is the 2nd picture from the top, which is your favorite look?

Thanks to Catherine, the designer for the UK lingerie label Kiss Me Deadly, we discovered these gorgeous photographs from Grazia magazine.  Kiss Me Deadly (whose Candybox Knickers are shown in the 4th pic from the top) happens to be featured among some of fashion's top designers, including Carine Gilson, Dolce & Gabbana, Chanel & Prada in this spread by Nelson Simoneau entitled "Sex and Vintage".  As you can see, there's a definite vintage vibe to each image with a hint of lingerie here and there...whether it's a bit of a bra showing or a pretty pair of stockings or thigh highs.  We are really impressed by the beauty of the hosiery, which happens to be provided by an Italian label called Transparenze - those lilac thigh highs are so beautiful!  Once again we are so pleased to see hosiery as a featured trend this season, much more so than previous years (since it inevitably becomes more popular as the weather gets cooler). 
Do you have a favorite look?  Do you think that 1960's bouffant will ever become a trend again?!

. . . have had this editorial, oh so pretty: live it up in a delicate dress by georges antoni for aussie magazine grazia on the inspiration board for a while now, most especially for the little white lace dress by alex perry, but also because absolutely adore delicate dresses and dressing up, and every once in a while and especially on dusky and daydreamy afternoons at home . . .

{p.s.} happy, happy september! while shall always love summer best, september is a rather beautiful month, with the last magical afternoons of the summer, and the first brisk mornings of autumn, moments after the sun has risen and there's a feeling of change and adventure in the air . . .
