Vogue Italia - Celebrating Those Curves!

The internet is abuzz with excitement over the June 2011 issue of Vogue Italia, and luckily we get to share it with you thanks to the bits and pieces of lingerie we spy!  With a little help from Agent Provocateur, Dolce & Gabbana and Alberta Ferretti, three curvy models get the covergirl treatment in a luscious, sensual spread shot by Steven Meisel.  This is all part of Vogue Italia's efforts to promote body diversity, and hopefully part of an on-going goal to show that beauty is not just limited to the small worldwide population of lanky supermodels.  To us, beauty is really about attitude, no matter what your size...proof of that is in these photos!

Lingerie or Ready-to-Wear?

This photo certainly intrigued us, and raised the question "is it lingerie or outerwear?". We don't know the designer behind these pieces, nor do we know the magazine this came from, so it's all speculation at this point.
This reminds us of so many of our customers who shop at Faire Frou Frou and mention that some of our lingerie looks like ready-to-wear...and it is! With a bit of creativity and stylish flair, you can make almost any look work to your desired effect. That's the beauty of fashion these days. We make our own lingerie work as ready-to-wear as often as possible, and why not, it's too pretty to cover up!

Lingerie Inspiration

We came across a beautiful image of Natalia Vodianova on This is Glamorous, and decided to share it with you (along with a couple others). Each photo hints at luxury lingerie, whether through those cute stockings (love that photo) or the silk & lace dresses reminiscent of a chemise.
These images were shot for Vogue Italia for the "Dinner at Eight" editorial. Photos shot by the talented Steven Meisel.
