GLAMOUR PHOTOGRAFY

We love the lingerie-as-outerwear trend we're seeing these days, and we were especially drawn to the details of John Paul Gaultier's Spring 2010 collection. As you can see, Gaultier was responsible for the Madonna cone bra that was inescapable in the 90s. Somehow now that we see it in a runway setting it looks more sophisticated and high-fashion. The sheer blouse layered over the statement bra is definitely a look that can be pulled off in 'real life'.

True, this blog is dedicated to luxury lingerie...but it's also unofficially dedicated to the style of burlesque superstar Dita von Teese. We can never resist a post about Dita, especially when it involves a gorgeous editorial spread in Harper's Bazaar (Russia). The only lingerie in this shoot is the bra she designed for Wonderbra, and of course the sexy stockings. The John Paul Gaultier bodysuit/dress has a definite lingerie appeal, but we're not entirely sure what to call it. Nonetheless, the results are striking and beautiful. Don't you just love the Christian Lacroix images!
