Light bondage luxury lingerie style on the rise: I.D. Sarrieri FW 2012

Aidin Vaatleja | August 6, 2012 - 1:32 pm

5 years and light bondage may be a common way to spice things up in the World’s bedrooms. At least that’s what lingerie designers, authors of books, journalists suggest. With Fifty Shades of Grey book hype that got even more attention.

Looking at the higher profile lingerie collections of 2011, 2012 and upcoming 2013 it’s impossible not to see that designers somehow got obsessed with light bondage style.

Light bondage

Yes, lingerie designers name their collections in a subtle way, avoiding links to bondage,

The Fall Winter 2012/2013 collection fuels a secret desire to show off the purest form of seduction. (I.D. Sarrieri)

but you can’t hide the obvious.

Lingerie Look Book: Lascivious AW2012 – driven by lust

Aidin Vaatleja | July 30, 2012 - 1:27 pm

Lascivious lingerie - driven by lust

las·civ·i·ous:
1. Given to or expressing lust; lecherous.
2. Exciting sexual desires; salacious.
3. Driven by lust; preoccupied with or exhibiting lustful desires.

It’s impossible not to become preoccupied with lustful desires just having a quick glance at Lascivious Lingerie new look book for Autumn/Winter 2012. Previous collections were quite provocative, but this look book just kills it. One quick look at the Kitty set and you’ll get it.
That’s it, I’m out, I’m going.

Just a bit info on the collection straight from the authors:

Our AW12 collection is inspired by the notion of love as a binding entity – something you want to be chained to; lustful, base and raw. This mood and idea has been deconstructed to draw inspiration literally from flesh and bone – from our Lola collection, with its sinuous flowing design lines, through to Cara, which features an ivory bone colour over which a luxe gunmetal chain is digitally printed. …….. Highlights of leather and [faux] fur are included to stimulate the senses; the juxtoposition of hard and soft (heart and bone) echoing the central themes for all AW12 ranges.

I mean just look at those styles – I think it’s probably the first time when lingerie designer managed to get that ultra kinky Fifty Shades of Grey style into something not vulgar at all and at the same time not becoming pop, mainstream. Beat that, Provocateur.

Lust is overwhelming my mind, can’t think clearly now….

Asian lingerie re-imagined: Chinese touch in La Perla’s “Oriental Suite”, FW 2012

Aidin Vaatleja | July 24, 2012 - 11:47 pm

A Chinese touch in Oriental Suite collection by La Perla. Asian lingerie re-imagined

Now that China is on the world’s spotlight, inevitably minds of lingerie designers are wandering to far east from time to time. Even if it’s so unknown and full of secrets, you can’t deny the charm radiating from the ancient and nowadays culture.

La Perla is taking Asian lingerie to the mainstream shops all over the Western world with it’s “Oriental Suite” collection, Fall/Winter of 2012-13.

Silk kimono robes, frequent flower elements suggest Japanese and Chinese clothing styles have made biggest influence to this collection. Merging oriental silk mastery with Italian craftsmanship in lace something beautiful comes out.

The looks are quite inventive and in terms of modernism, in-line with where Asian countries are going to at the moment. Designs are pulsating with luxury, that is also quite a well seen quality once you get to know Chinese culture better.

I doubt many of those undergarments can be used as underwear, if you know what I mean – they shouldn’t be that comfortable to wear under the dresses. Most likely La Perla “Oriental Suite” pieces are meant to be seen, not hidden, anyways.

Kriss Soonik loungerie – designed by Estonian, touched by Scandinavia, popular in UK

Aidin Vaatleja | May 30, 2012 - 6:50 pm

There’s something wrong about the way Americans perceive how does a seductive lingerie should look like. When you think of a term “sexy lingerie”, at first all the not-so-stylish-rather-straight-to-the-point-dirty examples are popping up. And that’s the reason why strippers, who usually adopt that style easily, do not bring any effect on me – actually they look terrible usually and “sexy lingerie” is one of the reasons.

On the other point, thanks to hundred years of fashion evolution and cultural victories won, there are brands like Forrest&Bob, Andres Sarda or just the latest discovery – Kriss Soonik loungerie. They are obvious proofs of how sexually appealing and subtle at the same time undergarments can look like.

No wonder Kriss Soonik loungerie is simply blossoming with charm. Designed by Estonian, influenced by Nordic cultural winds and beauty of chilly landscape.  Adding up UK’s inspiring chaos and movement, Kriss Soonik stands out as masters of subtle seductiveness.

Even bridal loungerie is much more playful and with less details from a standard image of bridal lingerie:

Kriss Soonik loungerie stands out as great example of contemporary design, that is adaptable to everyday use. Here are couple photos from a Spring Summer 2012 campaign, shot in Estonia:

And to all designers of cheaply looking lingerie that supposed to seduce but rather pushes away, Kriss Soonik Loungerie shows this:
