We love the idea of making a statement with your intimates, and this Javier Vallhonrat editorial really does just that. This somewhat unlikely assortment of dresses, lingerie and chunky heels conjures up an urban showgirl theme. The sparkly eye make-up and the sequin accessories really help set the tone, and that Lascivious bodysuit was perfectly placed for this shoot. Plus, the more we see them, the more we are liking those Miu Miu print heels...
The photos are supposed to be reminiscent of the Vargas pin-up girls, but it almost looks more like a gritty (and glam) expose of a Moulin Rouge dancer. Perhaps this is what the Vargas girls would look like if they were painted in 2010...

All I Can See is Lingerie

Lara Stone by Mario Testino for Vogue UK, styled by Lucinda Chambers

What's so funny is that when I first looked at these gorgeous gowns, all I could see is what great lingerie each piece would make. At the root of each piece is a beautiful bra, don't you agree? Actually, the first gown is quite obviously topped with a guepiere, but the other dresses have a definite lingerie-inspired bodice. Or perhaps I just have lingerie on the brain!
Lingerie aside, what a gorgeous setting for this photo shoot. Of course we would expect nothing less from the great Mario Testino!

Couture Lingerie with Couture Gowns

How could we not post these gorgeous images of Natalia Vodianova from UK Vogue?! Not only do we love the lingerie, but the pictures are just so beautiful (Natalia happens to be one of our favorite models) - that Dior Haute Couture pink gown is amazingly decadent.
Thank you to Fashion Pulse for inspiring this post!

Patrick Demarchelier Photography

It seems like whenever we see the work of Patrick Demarchelier, we spot some beautiful lingerie. In the current UK Vogue, we spotted a special-edition Damaris bra, and then a lovely Bottega Veneta corset. With a little creativity, and the right brands, you can create a high-fashion lingerie ensemble. Also of note, thigh high stockings pretty much add an incredible element to any lingerie look. It looks like we have some high-waisted panties there too...
