Life at Faire Frou Frou (According to Instagram)

We love that we have an opportunity to capture so many of the things that inspire us.  Over the past two weeks (or so) here is what's new and fabulous at Faire Frou Frou.  There's a lot of the Damaris Spring 2013 collection in there because it just looks so amazing...the purple and the bright orange/pink are definite eye-candy!  There's also the bright orange Marlies Dekkers Society bra that is stunning on every person who has tried it on.  Of course we had to share some of our garden rose photos because our backyard is filled with blooms of every color right now!

Damaris - Spring 2013 Colorfest!

images via Damaris

Damaris packs a punch with bright colors and spectacular designs in her SS2013 collection.  Each group, named for a Greek god/goddess, is filled with customary over-the-top details that are customary for Damaris creations.  A common thread seen in most groups is the use of fine silk tulle and beautiful French lace.  Once again we see the return of the deep V-Plunge Bra, which has become a customer favorite (great for when you're wearing a low, plunging neckline!).  Naturally we also see the return of the signature back cut-out panties as well as the cut-out back-tie panties.  Almost every piece has a gold horseshoe clasp fastener.  If you haven't had the pleasure of seeing in person or owning a Damaris design, you're missing out.  It's a true luxury (handmade in a London atelier) that's sure to make you (and a lucky someone else) smile.
You can purchase the Aphrodite and Persephone collections at Faire Frou Frou!

Neon Season - Damaris S/S2012 Collection

The Damaris S/S 2012 collection definitely captures the biggest fashion trend of the season: Neon!  As is customary for Damaris, we see designs that are playful, daring and vibrant.  Delicate lace is paired with contrast color panels, and of course we see quite a few panties that show off the derriere.  All of the bras feature a deep-v front plunge (which was such a hit last season it was brought back again!) with underwire shaping and support.  Essentially, every item from the Spring season is gorgeous from front to back.  There's no denying that you will make a statement when wearing any of these pieces! 
The Damaris new arrivals are now on our website, so you can shop here!

Cool Blue Inspiration

images: photo by Aitken Jolly, Damaris lace (color adjusted), Dita von Teese from Perrier video, Christian Dior runway 2008, 'Lost in Jamaica' by Ellen von Unwerth, La Perla

We're certainly not in a blue mood, but rather we are feeling inspired by the color blue today!  It was actually the Aitken Jolly photograph at the top of this post that inspired us; and let's just pause to say how adorable the ruffle, puff-sleeve top is layered over that darling lace bra.  Really, it's a lingerie-as-outerwear look that is most practical for 'real life'.  The lace of the model's bra reminded us a bit of the Damaris 'Frisson' collection, which we color-adjusted a sample of lace to match the theme of our post. 
We want to note that the Dita von Teese image is a (blurry) frame we captured from her very impressive video advertisement with Perrier.  If you haven't seen The Perrier Mansion website, you need to go there immediately!

We have finally posted all of the new arrivals from Mimi Holliday on our website! If you don't know about this brand, it's time you learn...Mimi Holliday is the spin-off diffusion line of the luxury lingerie label Damaris. Basically it's designed by the same talent behind Damaris but at a fraction of the price. Bras and panties range in price from $50-$89, and now the brand offers new styles such as garter belts and teddys/rompers! Perhaps after seeing the images from the Spring 2010 collection (above) you get an idea of why this is one of the most popular brands in our store!
Some of the new lingerie collections that we have on our site are Allure, Ooh La La, Adorable, Bisou Bisou Noir, Privee & Encore L'Amour.

You can shop this collection here, or better yet, you can see it in our newly renovated boutique this Saturday! (Faire Frou Frou's Grand Re-Opening is this Saturday, April 10th, 11am-6pm in Studio City, CA).

Damaris, the Movie!

images via here
thanks to Miss Narcissus for sharing

Leave it to lingerie designer Damaris to take part in such a fun project! The above images are stills from the short film called "Chore" showing exclusively at Vogue.com. Damaris teamed up with director Justin Anderson and a group of talented people to create this avant-garde video.
The woman in the film does mundane chores in the most exquisite lingerie...something we have admittedly never done. So many people save their fabulous intimates for a special occasion, so it's an interesting concept to see lingerie worn for such common activity.
For Justin's explanation of this project, click here.
The video is semi-NSFW, so please be advised accordingly. It is also quirky and eye-catching...enjoy!

Damaris - Fall 2009 Collection

The name of the photographer escapes us (it's on our Fall 2009 catalogue, but we can't find it!)

There were 2 different photographers...one for the 'glamour' shots and one for the catalogue...

images copyright Damaris

It's such a happy moment for us, finally being able to share the new Damaris Fall 2009 images with you! As always, we are presented with some gorgeous designs and we feel this is an especially strong collection. Probably our favorite of all of the items is the Frisson group. The Frisson pieces are those with a lily pattern on a fine tulle material; so striking and classic.
We noticed that most of the bras (except for the Ophelia Soft Cup Bra) offer great support and can be worn for more than just a special occasion. Even some of the matching bottoms are more practical. A new selection for Fall includes nightgowns and robes; something that was not offered in the past. We love having so many options!
The new Damaris Fall 2009 collection (groups include Frisson, Ophelia and Ballerina) is now online and available for purchase!
