Fraulein Kink - Start Your Wishlist Here!

images via Fraulein Kink, Photography by Catherine Day & Sohui

We first saw the new "Philosophy in the Bedroom" collection from Fraulein Kink about a month ago, and we simply can't keep it under wraps any longer, so here it is!  Coming to Faire Frou Frou in just a handful of weeks (crossing fingers it's here before Valentine's Day!), German accessories label Fraulein Kink will make its debut in its first luxury lingerie boutique in the U.S.  We are proud to be that store! 
With the latest range you will see the familiar Fraulein Kink use of fringe and bondage-chic accessories.  Our favorite is the brand-new Miss Kitten Mask which is a fringe eye-mask with darling cat ears...meow!  We also love those white furry handcuffs...they come with either a gold-plate or silver chain attachment; we're doing both styles! 
We are pretty excited to see the customer response to these pieces.  We are also pretty excited to set-up our Valentine's Day display with Fraulein Kink...they will go wonderfully with our latest Lascivious new arrivals!

I.D. Sarrieri Lingerie - Through the Lens of Barna Nemethi

  photos: Barna Nemethi, styling: Oana Vasilache, MUA: Doinel Ungureanu. All photos with lace lingerie via allhollow.com, images #2 & #7 via Glamour Romania January 2012.

One of the good things about luxury lingerie is that there are usually beautiful editorials to accompany it.  That is the case with I.D. Sarrieri, a Romanian designer lingerie brand that recently teamed up with photographer Barna Nemethi for the photos you see here.  Most of the images are a collaboration with All Hollow, which is more or less an online periodical (see more here).  The fact that they featured I.D. Sarrieri makes us instant fans.  The first 2 images are our favorite, which are yours?

Cadolle Paris

images via Cadolle

Cadolle was one of the first brands we carried when we opened Faire Frou Frou since it was the perfect representation of the luxury and sophistication we wanted to create in our boutique.  Nearly seven years later and we are still love Cadolle just as much as we once did.  We recently became more enamored with this French family-owned company when we noticed that they gave their website a much-needed facelift.  The images from this post are just a few of the lovely images we discovered.  For those of you who are unfamiliar with Cadolle, we typically tell newbie customers that they are the Rolls Royce of corsetry.  In fact, they own the famous atelier in Paris where you can have a bra custom-made for yourself for around $800...hopefully that price-tag gives you an indication of their expertise.  Luckily the pieces we sell in our boutique are a little bit more wallet-friendly (just a little bit).

Versace for H&M - Swimwear

 

 

 

images via here

It's a warm 75 degrees here in Los Angeles (in January!!!), which has us already thinking of Summer, and thoughts of Summer naturally have us thinking of swimwear.  That brings us to this editorial featuring the new Versace for H&M Cruise 2012 collection.  If fruity patterns are your thing, then this is the collection for you!  Personally we see these pieces as more striking for photography than for "real life" but it's always fun to see how a luxury designer interprets their designs for a younger, more budget-conscious crowd.  Definitely playful and fun for the budding Frou Frou Fashionista!

Fetish-Inspired Fashion

We've definitely seen an inclination in fashion, and certainly at Faire Frou Frou, toward more fetish-inspired styling.  With brands such as Lascvious, Maison Close, Marlies Dekkers and Bordelle performing so well at our shop, we know there is an increasing demand for elegant lingerie with a bit of a sophisticated bad-girl edge.  This editorial is a good example of fetish-inspired looks created with carefully layering and mixing lingerie with outerwear looks.  We love that we are seeing more bra styles with interesting strap/cut-out detail.  Each of these looks is actually more suggestive of fetish, which is what makes these images so powerful.
