Genlux, Dita von Teese, & Faire Frou Frou

Courtworth 'Vague' Bra at Faire Frou Frou, corset from Agent Provocateur. We plan on getting waist-cinchers like this at our boutique from Cadolle Paris.

Last week we went to the launch party for the Fall issue of Genlux Magazine, featuring Dita von Teese as its cover girl! We were especially excited to attend this event, because we worked with the stylist Basia Richard for the "Modern Geisha" shoot, and one of our Faire Frou Frou bras made it into the magazine. Which bra, you ask? It just happens to be one of our personal favorites; the Courtworth 'Vague' Bra. In the photo credit they said 'price upon request', which makes it sound like it's over $1000. In any event, the 1 bra we have left in stock is currently on sale for $187 (in size 32D). It looks just lovely paired with the black waist-cincher.
Of course we have included the rest of the images from this shoot. We recommend that you pick up this issue...the Dita photo spread is just wonderful (but there's no lingerie!).

Desperate Housewives update

If you caught the most recent episode of Desperate Housewives, then you may have noticed that Nicolette Sheridan's character was wearing a beautiful bustier almost the entire episode!
That gorgeous piece was none other than the Courtworth Mouche Tulle & Velvet Bustier from Faire Frou Frou. The last episode had a cliffhanger ending, which means we will see more of that bustier in the up-coming episode.

The NEW Courtworth collection

The new Courtworth collection is now available online! This sophisticated collection offers a flirty twist with its bow-tie detail and ruffled lace accents. Made in Italy, the Courtworth (or Worth, to those of you in Europe) brand represents refined elegance and feminine beauty. The new collection is mostly made from tulle with lace detailing in both nude and black.
This group has sold very well at our boutique, so we're excited to offer it online.

FYI - The Mouche Bustier is going to be on next Sunday's (Dec. 2nd) "Desperate Housewives" on Nicolette Sheridan!

The Best-Kept Secret in Lingerie: Courtworth (aka Worth)

Just like some of our brands such as Vannina Vesperini & Carine Gilson, it isn't too often that you come across a luxury lingerie line like Courtworth Paris.
We are proud and incredibly excited to announce the debut of the French lingerie line at Faire Frou Frou!
As you can see, this is quite a beautiful line that specializes in the use of lace, and the bras and bustiers make great layering pieces.
Courtworth, known as Worth in Europe (due to copyright or corporate name issues in the U.S.) is a luxury lingerie line from Paris, France with pieces hand-made in Italy. It is crafted using the same techniques as those used to make the line during the late 19th Century! Many hours of work goes into each piece, which often includes 45 manual operations from start to finish. The result is a collection that is exquisite and unique.
We will be carrying the Spring/Summer AND Fall/Winter collections from Courtworth this year.
You can shop for any of these looks right now at Faire Frou Frou!
We have posted images of some of the items we just received...they are actually more beautiful in person!!!!! Each piece comes with its own sheer black mesh lingerie bag that has a little black bow closure, which is so cute and very upscale looking. We are thoroughly impressed!!!!
