Monette Paris - SS2013

images via Monette Paris

We are proud to introduce the latest and greatest in French intimate apparel: Monette.  The designs featured here are from the debut collection for Spring 2013 which clearly look like pieces women will buy for themselves, and their lover will want to buy for them too!  Probably the instant appeal of this label is due to the fact that the designer is Assya Hiridjee, the former designer for Princesse Tam-Tam and sister of the brand's founder.  The name of the brand is the French nickname for the name Simone (we didn't know that!), and the designs are targeted toward the sophisticated and chic woman.  Most of the debut collection is centered around silk, and Hiridjee indicates that “Monette is a new concept somewhere between lingerie and ready-to-wear." 
We're very excited about what we're seeing here and hoping to get it in the hands of Faire Frou Frou customers very soon!

Straps, Bridles & Harnesses

Photography by William Williams, model Holly Parker

It truly is so much fun being a part of a lingerie photo shoot, as was the case with these photos taken by the talented William Williams.  Both he and model Holly Parker collaborated to create these striking images featuring lingerie picked up from Faire Frou Frou!   What's always interesting is seeing how a given photographer selects lingerie from our shop and makes them come to life with distinct style and personality in their work.  We were very impressed with what William did here! 
Probably most of our lingerie fans recognize the Bordelle Tutu Waspie, which was perfectly paired with a Tamzin Lillywhite pony ear bridle.  Other pieces from our boutique include the red Lascivious Helena bra/panty set, the Lascivious Tyra cropped (strappy) top, and the Marlies Dekkers 'Leading Strings' strappy thong.
A special thanks to Style on the Couch for including us on this project!

Lingerie Pin-Up Story

Images via here.  photos by Marc Philbert, model Jenny Knoch

How could we resist sharing such an adorable pin-up story!  In what is reminiscent of a Chantal Thomass lingerie campaign, photographer Marc Philbert has created an editorial filled with retro-inspired sweetness with a touch of suggestive bad girl behavior (in true pin-up form).   

We love that each image shares the lingerie/clothing credits...far too often we don't get enough information!  We've identified some of our favorite brands such as Fifi Chachnil, Wolford, Chantal Thomass, Princesse Tam-Tam, Gerbe & Eres (plus many more).  

Our favorite images are the top three...do you have a favorite?

Made by Niki - Peplums collection - Spring 2013

We just posted the new arrivals from Made by Niki on our website and have been chatting about it all week (if you follow us on Instagram, Pinterest or Facebook you may have  already noticed).  The Peplums collection for Spring 2013 is bright, cheerful, frilly and downright delightful.  These pieces capture the essence of a beautiful Spring season and certainly are perfect representation of the word frou-frou!  The colorway includes colors such as Barbie Pink and Canary Yellow, and includes new shapes such as the Shoulder Holster and the Bustle Panty.  Of course we had to bring back the famous String Playsuit, this time in a dip-dyed two-tone pink.  Just looking at these images makes us crave sweets...as it is, each item is like a delectable confection!
