This Fall we are bringing a bit of urban edge to Faire Frou Frou with New York lingerie line "The Lake & Stars." This designer brand, which has early-on received worldwide acclaim for its fresh approach to design, is both feminine and cheeky with its fun and unexpected details. For instance, the debut collection includes the "Opportunity Trench" which is a unique take on costumes and role-playing often associated with wearing sexy underpinnings. For those of you who are interested, we will be carrying the trench coat, which comes in both a short and long version, and is available in traditional khaki (shown), navy, or slate gray.
Our favorite set comes from the "Modesty" group which features metallic nylon, mesh lining and herringbone trim. This is just one of the examples of how the most unexpected combinations come together to make something refreshing and sexy. In fact, most pieces have some form of vintage detailing that give them a nostalgic appeal.
The pricing for The Lake & Stars is pretty reasonable for a designer label...from $88 for a bralette to $50 for their garterbrief in the Modesty group. However, the Opportunity Trench is a bit pricier starting at $545, but isn't it worth it! Besides, it truly is a functional piece!
We have included a picture we took of designers Nikki Dekker and Maayan Zilberman during our meeting at the chic Gramercy Park Hotel in NYC. The design team is made up of these two wonderful ladies whose backgrounds include design and art.
In case you were wondering, the name "The Lake & Stars" refers to an obscure Victorian term that refers to a woman's skills in the bedroom (as in she gave him "the lake & stars")...sounds just as frisky as the collection looks!
