BODY Magazine - Retail Profile

We just were told that Faire Frou Frou received a write-up in BODY Magazine...this is a lingerie trade publication that covers all aspects of the intimate apparel industry. In any event, the magazine did a retail profile on our boutique (which we were interviewed for a few months back), and they have the article featured on their website.
Check it out!

ID Sarrieri in the Press


As we countdown to the launch of our new Fall arrivals (later this month), we are featuring some of our most popular brands as seen in the press.
This post features the media mentions for ID Sarrieri lingerie. ID Sarrieri embodies sophisticated glamour in its designs, and has timeless appeal. Naturally, this brand has been featured in a number of publications including Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Elle, and Madame Figaro (just to name a few).

Below are images from the ID Sarrieri Spring/Summer 2008 catalogue. All of their photographs are incredible...flawless. They really do an amazing job having created a fashion-forward catalogue that is up-to-par with their high-fashion designs. Their pictures look like they're from a Vogue editorial (or at least privy to Vogue airbrushing!)...is anyone really that perfect looking?!?! At least we know that their lingerie is!

{another lifetime}

The beautiful thing about vintage and perfectly rustic pieces is that the chipped paint, tiny dents, and worn places all hold the secrets and stories of another lifetime . . .

Damaris & Mimi Holliday in the Press

it looks like this top (above) is a fashion variation on the Mimi Holliday tunic (below)...see what we mean...
As we gear up for the arrival of our Fall/Winter lingerie collections (just a few more weeks!), we wanted to highlight the buzz/press about some of our best-selling lingerie brands.
We're starting with Damaris and Mimi Holliday. As most of you know, both of these brands are designed by Damaris Evans, though each represents a different price point.
Not only is Damaris a favorite with our customers, she's also loved by the press which is evident through her multiple credits in Vogue, Elle, W, Glamour, Maxim and many more magazines in 2008 alone!
Here are some of our favorite clippings from their Spring/Summer 2008 collection!

Three different photographers, three different works, and yet, a striking similarity, a certain transiency, and the feeling that we've happened upon a private and fleeting moment or a secret space in time . . .

Slip into the Past


While we were doing our posts on lingerie through the decades (so far we've covered 1930s-1960s), our search kept taking us to the blog 'A Slip of a Girl'. This blog is filled with vintage lingerie images, as well as vintage lingerie for sale. These antique images are just too cute, and so sweet!
Included in this post are some of our favorite images from the site...enjoy!
