Meet the "I.D." of I.D. Sarrieri

It was such a pleasure to meet the face behind one of our favorite brands, I.D. Sarrieri.
It turns out that the I.D. stands for the designer's name which is Iulia Dobrin. We were so surprised that this young woman was the mastermind behind such an incredibly large brand...in just 5 years she has made I.D. Sarrieri an international sensation!
Attached are a few images from her Spring/Summer 2007 collection which we just LOVE! Almost every piece we purchased for Faire Frou Frou has beautiful Chantilly lace and silk. The green & black set shown comes in a variety of lovely colors such as a blush pink, ivory and a very subtle gold. One of our favorite pieces is the nude/gold Chantilly lace bodysuit with Swarovski crystals...we also ordered the chemise and bra/panty sets in that group which are equally amazing.
Also shown is a photograph of Iulia Dobrin with one of Faire Frou Frou's owners, Alison (the very pale person on the right).
The Spring/Summer collection makes its debut at Faire Frou Frou later this June.

New Spring collection - Chantal Thomass

The Spring 2007 collection by Chantal Thomass has finally arrived in stores!
We just received the 'Petillante' group (shown with the red and black sets), which is classically frou-frou with its ruffled tulle trim!
We are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the 'Tulle Fronce' group - which is the white set with the black polka dots. It is our favorite of the collection and so adorable - everything from the gathered silk bra to the high-waisted gathered briefs that flatter and cinch the waistline.
We actually have several C.T. collections due to arrive at the store (not shown here), and the arrival of those groups will be spread out through the Spring. We are so excited to debut the collection at Faire Frou Frou, and will be posting items to our online shop as they come in.
As a side note, we were able to visit the famous Chantal Thomass boutique during our travels to Paris. Unfortunately it was 'Sale' (Solde) season, and I don't think we saw the store in its full glory. The boutique is nonetheless a personal landmark in Paris, and has all of the frilly details that make the lingerie industry so much fun!

Kiss Me Quick!

The Spring/Summer collection from U.K. designer Fleur T is so adorable! The "Kiss Me Quick" range, shown here, has a fresh nautical influence with its cream and navy color-scheme. As is customary with the Fleur T line, this group has just the right amount of detailing with its ruffles, bow-ties, and dotted mesh. Though it's a bit hard to tell from the quality of the photos, each piece has a very crisp and clean look...we especially love the navy/cream striped ribbon trim on the bras! This group has the ideal look for a Spring/Summer group - we love it!
We will follow up this post with the other range from designer Fleur Turner's collection, called Knickerbocker Glory (which is simply sensational!).
