Lingerie as Outerwear...Again!

all Jean Paul Gaultier...including the torn tights!

We have been coveting this Agent Provocateur basque for a while...really, it's so pretty! And just a peek at the Wolford stockings...

we mainly had to post this because of those Christian Louboutins... A-MAZING!

the bra shown over this Victor & Rolf dress isn't credited, but it's likely Kiki di Montparnasse

This post has two of our favorite things; a Jessica Stam editorial paired with lingerie! Straight from the February 2010 issue of Canada's Fashion Magazine, these photos are simply further evidence of the lingerie as outerwear trend. The suggestion that you wear a bustier instead of a blouse is perhaps something you will be doing in the near future! It's funny because when we first see a trend we think, no that won't be me, but about a year later we've fully embraced it...kind of how we felt about Gladiator sandals and boyfriend jeans a few years ago (we fell for those trends hook, line & sinker!).
What do you say, will this be you in a few short months? Is it you now?

We love Jessica Stam, so it's very exciting to share some of these beautiful images of her from Numero Korea (October 2009). She glams it up in her undies paired with a bustier, jacket and even a fur (we hope it's fake...there's no reason to use real fur in this day & age). We love the shot with the fishnet stockings - it seems like lately anything that is paired with fishnets is automatically a favorite (it's likely we're just excited about being able to wear our own Falke stockings when the weather cools down).

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...
