We love that we have an opportunity to capture so many of the things that inspire us.  Over the past two weeks (or so) here is what's new and fabulous at Faire Frou Frou.  There's a lot of the Damaris Spring 2013 collection in there because it just looks so amazing...the purple and the bright orange/pink are definite eye-candy!  There's also the bright orange Marlies Dekkers Society bra that is stunning on every person who has tried it on.  Of course we had to share some of our garden rose photos because our backyard is filled with blooms of every color right now!

Damaris - Spring 2013 Colorfest!

Damaris packs a punch with bright colors and spectacular designs in her SS2013 collection.  Each group, named for a Greek god/goddess, is filled with customary over-the-top details that are customary for Damaris creations.  A common thread seen in most groups is the use of fine silk tulle and beautiful French lace.  Once again we see the return of the deep V-Plunge Bra, which has become a customer favorite (great for when you're wearing a low, plunging neckline!).  Naturally we also see the return of the signature back cut-out panties as well as the cut-out back-tie panties.  Almost every piece has a gold horseshoe clasp fastener.  If you haven't had the pleasure of seeing in person or owning a Damaris design, you're missing out.  It's a true luxury (handmade in a London atelier) that's sure to make you (and a lucky someone else) smile.
You can purchase the Aphrodite and Persephone collections at Faire Frou Frou!

Monette Paris - SS2013

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!

Murmur - The Hellcat SS2013

It's been far too long since we've featured Murmur on our blog, and now that the Spring 2013 Murmur collection is being released, we had to share!   Murmur is a brand that designs outerwear that is lingerie-inspired...but one look at these images tells you that.  The images above are from the latest collection called hellcat, which the designer wants to remind us means:

1. a. A woman regarded as bad-tempered and evil.
b. A woman who practices sorcery; a witch.
2. A person who torments others.  

That being said, we are enjoying the corset details and harness layering.   Do you have a favorite?

Chantal Thomass - Spring/Summer 2013

Nothing makes us happier than discovering beautiful new photo campaigns from our favorite lingerie designers!  One such brand that rarely disappoints is French lingerie icon Chantal Thomass.  The Spring/Summer 2013 images are vibrant, playful and certainly have us pulling out our credit card to start buying each piece.  One of our very favorite images that has been floating around the web these past few weeks is the bow bra & high-waist panty (shown in nude/black).  We *will* make sure we personally own that set soon. 
Some of you may recall that we mentioned that Chantal Thomass would be returning to Faire Frou Frou this past Spring 2012.  Unfortunately there were once again trade issues that halted that from happening.  We were so excited at the possibility, and this campaign renews our hope that we will will once more carry the brand at our boutique in 2013. 
Until then, enjoy the eye-candy we've posted!
