I met Brian Atwood a while back . I rememeber how charming he was but also the naughty exchange he had with a salesguy about the 5inch red stlletoes I later purchased , something about “..keeping your stilletoes on ..” Turns out his fantasy became reality in his latest book featuring Rene Russo and the very sexy Jon Kortajarena, titled Role Play Rene.

Bordelle, a new brand to hit the lingerie scene, has just been added to Peacock & Strutt’s web store.  I’m a big fan of any brand that can blur the lines between lingerie and ready to wear. Bordelle does so by including leggings and corsets appropriate for the bedroom and beyond.  The collection has a bondage feel but still manages to keep a dainty, almost innocent vibe. The lines are super sharp and the color palette is minimalistic which adds to the stoic sexiness that is Bordelle.

More looks from Bordelle after the jump.
