Lingerie to die for

Burlesque model/actress Dita Von Teese has just released a vintage inspired lingerie line she created for Wonderbra. Von Teese appeared in style during the Wonderbra launch wearing a peach rusched dress. But, that’s not all. The actress also appeared swinging on a large padded sequined bra.

The Wonderbra line is called ‘Wonderbra by Dita Von Teese’, the entire line is inspired by Von Teese’s own collection of vintage underwear. It is made up of all sorts of sexy lingerie including push up bras, panties and even suspenders.

“Lingerie shouldn’t be something you just put on for your lover; you should do it for you,” said Von Teese a few weeks ago. “It’s not about seducing men, it’s about embracing womanhood.” She also added, “I love it when you can go about your daily business with the knowledge that you have a little secret of your own on underneath.”

The 35 year old actress also made sure that the line was comfortable to enough to wear. She said that it was something authentic vintage lingerie lacked. Von Teese also adds that she is a big fan of this lingerie line and that she has taken to wearing it everyday.

The Lingerie line is already available in stores that carry the Wonderbra brand in the US and Europe.

Michael Jackson’s little sister Janet Jackson is adding ‘Lingerie Designer’ to her resume. The music star is teaming up with Australian  Bruno Schiavi to create her own line of delicates which will be called Pleasure Principle. Perhaps, it was Jackson’s Superbowl wardrobe ‘malfunction’ than inspired her to do her own line of (big) bras and panties. The line’s name Pleasure Principle is taken from Jackson’s 1987 hit of the same name. Jackson’s lingerie line will be available in US store in November of 2008.

“The collection has been carefully created with some of the finest laces from around the world.” Said Jackson about her lingerie line. “You will see a lot of satin and lace combined and rich colors such as burgundy and beige, silver and peach as well as your classic black and white. It makes you feel incredible and offers variety as diverse as the women who will wear it.”

Her business partner Schiavi also had something to say about the line he is doing with the famed pop star

“Janet and I wanted to create a collection that empowers women and that makes women feel sexy, flirtatious and provocative,”

The first few pieces of the Pleasure Principle lingerie line will feature 14 different designs that carry cup sizes from 32A to 44G.

Celebrity Stylist and Fashion Designer Heather Thomson showed her designs in this year’s NY Fashion week. While most designers showed off their creations in runways all over Bryant Park, Thomson decided to go another way. The designer had her Yummie Tummie Shapewear lingerie line modeled by eight of the best pole dancers that New York had to Offer.

In order to find the right women, Thomson conducted an open call where she picked out the best and the most ‘flexible’ pole dancers she could find. The final eight chosen were women of every race and size – bra size, that is. The designer did this because she wanted to make it clear that a woman of any size can wear great lingerie.

The bridal lingerie designer had this to say to reporters from Reuters - “Every woman of every size deserves sexy lingerie that can be worn underneath her clothes or that’s meant to be seen,”

Thomson is most known for her Shapewear lingerie. Her products are sold in specialty stores all over the country and have gotten rave reviews from buyers. One of Thomson’s biggest fans is Talk Show Queen Oprah Winfrey.
Other than being a lingerie designer, Thomson also works as a stylist. She has helped stars like Sean Combs and Jennifer Lopez get a head start on their own fashion lines.
