Nicholas Routzen; Lingerie & Photography

our favorite picture of the bunch (above)

we used to have that Fifi Chachnil bra (above) in our store! We still have the matching petticoat skirt...
We also have the matching thong for the bra below (at Faire Frou Frou)!

Here are a few images from photographer Nicholas Routzen. Routzen is a New York-based photographer, who has traveled the world for a variety of magazines and private client photography. We love that we spotted Fifi Chachnil lingerie in the images!

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!

an example of one of Jean Yu's limited edition gowns

Jean Yu is a New York-based designer who specializes in creating limited edition dresses and lingerie. Her signature style is very feminine and fluid, as she uses materials such as silk chiffon, charmeuse and georgette. She has a very simple yet striking lingerie collection with a clean, modern aesthetic. The prices are a bit steep, but you are getting handmade pieces with very serious attention to detail.
It's no surprise that Jean Yu was recently commisioned by the Mercer Hotel (NYC) to design a luxurious custom robe for the hotel's guests. This robe is inspired by the classic smoking jacket and is made from double-faced silk charmeuse. It's one of the few Jean Yu pieces you can buy online!

Mee-oww!

Here are a few photographs by Phil Poynter...do we see a trend here with the high-waist panties? We think so! We are loving the bra in the top picture - wonder who designed it? We think it might be Herve Leger, but not sure...

Miss Lala Presents...

Les Patisseries - the best-seller from Miss Lala Presents...
It reminds us of Sofia Coppola's "Marie Antoinette"

Chocolate Box

Vintage Pearls

Powder Puff

Roller Girl

'Miss Lala Presents...' is a fairly new lingerie label from the UK that perfectly captures the essence of Faire Frou Frou; it's girly, sweet, retro, and fun! We now carry the line, and brought in the ultra adorable Chocolate Box collection. Seriously, it doesn't get any cuter than that! We have included a few other looks from their current Spring/Summer '09 season, including the brand's best-seller, Les Patisseries. The look is very Laduree meets Faire Frou Frou, don't you agree?
