Mint Siren: London Luxury Lingerie

We've been a fan of Mint Siren for years, so it's fun to catch up and see what new goodies this fabulous UK label has been working on.  The Winter 2010/Spring 2011 season is a touch risque, mixed with sophistication and style.  We wouldn't expect anything less from designer Josefine Wing.  There are actually more pictures from the Spring 2011 season on their website, but we just picked our favorites to feature here!  We hope you enjoy the eye-candy!

Mint Siren - Fall 2010 Preview

It won't be much longer before the Fall/Winter 2010 lingerie collections hit the sales floor, so in preparation for the up-coming season we're going to whet your appetite with a sneak peek of the latest from U.K. brand Mint Siren. This sleek new collection will make its official debut in September 2010, in which designer Josefine Wing features a beautiful combination of black and gold intimates. We love how the pieces were styled with a definite ready-to-wear vibe...we wish we could walk around work like this (ahem, we would like the model's body too if that were to happen). Overall there's a lot of gold lace embellishment and metal detailing on Mint Siren's pieces, and swimwear has been added to the mix with a black denim bikini.
Which piece will be going on your wish list? You can shop the Mint Siren Summer collection here.

Leather Lingerie You Will Want to Wear

On our Twitter account last week we posted an image of the Mint Siren leather garter belt...and thought it was definitely worth sharing with our blog readers. When we think of leather lingerie we typically do not think of something so stylish and chic (really, leather is usually a fetish designer's fabric of choice second to perhaps latex!). In addition to the leather garter, there's also the strap torso harness, leather ankle strap and even the cage dress (which you can see the embossed detailing with the Mint Siren logo). Each leather piece has brass metal detailing, and the torso harness comes with a detachable rodeo handle - yee haw!
The wonderful part about each of these pieces is that they would be great layered with your outerwear. As for the ankle strap, it is a wonderful accessory to dress up any of your shoes (it's accented with brass rivets and a brass chain strap that is worn under the heel). You can order any of the leather pieces in either black or dark brown.

We were so happy to discover the latest images from Mint Siren for their Fall/Winter '09 campaign. The first set of shots, the polaroids, were taken by the brand's designer Josefine Wing - we love those! The other 2 sets were taken by local UK photographers. We like seeing how each photographer has a unique way of capturing the same outfits. All of the pieces are retro-inspired, and certainly some are more risque than others! As usual, we are loving the high-waisted panties!!
The newest pieces are now available for purchase online...click here to shop.

Oh My Goodness - We Are in LOVE!!!

Just this week we received an amazingly fun collection from British lingerie label Mint Siren. Mint Siren is a burlesque-inspired brand that is all about girly details, and is both extremely feminine and perhaps a bit edgy. It can best be described as Fifi Chachnil meets Dita von Teese style.
Faire Frou Frou is the FIRST and ONLY BOUTIQUE IN THE USA to represent this brand (we know other boutiques will snatch it up too after reading this!)!!! What an honor to introduce the states to this amazing label.
Mint Siren is the creation of designer Josefine Wing (a bit of a burlesque gal herself). Her philosophy is to create flattering, sensual clothing with a retro flavor for the modern woman. Her brand is described as being "lavish and provocative; designed for ladies with a passion for extravagance. It's about having fun with your femininity".
Every piece in our shipment is swoon-worthy, and we have posted pictures for you to love as well. You can now buy any of these items online at Faire Frou Frou.
If you see anything in this post that you love, and that is not on Faire Frou Frou's website, just let us know and we can inquire about special orders.
It's time to play dress-up - get your Mint Siren today!
