Wearing fine lingerie  is a daily occurence in the life of a Snobette. Nonetheless the proximity of Valentine’s Day  sees   brands offering  special items like the latest by the amazing  Nichole de Carle who has launched a  bespoke service, enabling one to customize some of their signature uber-strappy knickers. A diamond-adorned Valentine’s Day set you can see on the flip is also available. Take a look at the bespoke styles here. Images courtesy of Nichole de Carle.

When it comes to lingerie in general we would have to say the big girls have it all over the skinny chicks. It’s the like the garments bloom to life filled to the brim with curves and roundness. That’s Laura Wells brimming above as shot by Marvin Joseph for Plus Model magazine’s January issue. See another shot on the next page.

Enjoy a look at Maison Close’s Spring/Summer 2012 featuring lots of lace and the the introduction of jewellery attachements.Something that makes an accessories fiend like yours truly, weak in the knees.See more on the next page via SugarCookies.

Here are some more print ad photos for Rihanna’s campaign promoting Armani jeans and lingerie. Not sure if this collection has hit retail yet. It was supposed to arrive at Macy’s in November and according to Shefinds, as of mid-December it still hadn’t arrived. As for the lingerie it appears you can buy items featured in the last campaign here. 

Seems odd that a giant company like Armani would put together a campaign with a major star and then basically send their target customer on a wild goose chase for product that actually only exists on paper. At least put some sort of update on your Facebook page.  

Classically endearing, perfect to layer or graciously allow to be seen, a white lace bodysuit like the Celestial Rays is a must have in a well  balanced  lingerie wardrobe. Plus it hints to Stella McCartney.  Available at Bhlnd.

With a definite vintage feel , the short film  titled “When Julia met Kiki” artfully sets the tone for the  capsule lingerie collaboration between Julia  Restoin Roitfeld and Kiki de Montparnasse. Directed by the talended Marianna Rothen and styled by V’s Tom Van Dorp, all we can say is well done!

Elle Magazine  gives us a look at the collaboration of Julia  Roitfeld  with our much admired Kiki de Montparnasse. Thoroughly feminine and sexy the capsule collection reflects the sultry Roitfeld’s emphasis on flattering womanly silhouettes.  Take look at the collection on the next page  an read her interview here. Totally want to be Roitfeld’s.

A great collaboration between the illustrious French hosiery house Gerbe and designer Gaspard Yurkievich is available this fall. Ranging from classic peek -a-boo sheer styles to  sparkly  thigh his , the tribal/gothic “Collant Sublime” is a favorite of the bunch. Available at Gerbe and our new obsession Peekbrooklyn .

The “Edith” knickers  present a prim and proper facade  and  a bare derriere, which we noticed has become a bit of a trend. A clever update  on a classic high waisted brief  we had to share via Agent Provocateur.
