Way back inn mid-January I was lucky enough to visit the Salon International de la Lingerie trade show in Paris. Here’s my picks from the independent and luxury brands – we have some truly gorgeous lingerie to look forward to next season!

Dirty Pretty Things
I love Dirty Pretty Things’ use of unusual prints and this season is no different – quirky fairytale inspirations see unicorn, skull and butterfly motifs together in a print design that is both delightfully feminine and directionally subversive. I also love how they’ve paired leopard print chiffon with lace – it gives the print a much softer and delicate feel to it and has definitely left me lusting after one those sets!



Elise Aucouturier
Elise Aucouturier is a brand that I had not encountered before but I’ve been very much taken with their unique design style and unusual use of lace and embroidery – the sheer shorts and lace bandeau bra shown below were my particular favourites!

Fred & Ginger
Fred & Ginger’s latest collection is based around a mix of luscious silks. Particular highlights including ‘Romance’ with its opulent burgundy velvet trim and ‘Tropical Paradise’ – the bright yellows, pinks and blues are almost good enough to eat!

Juju Lingerie
Juju Lingerie are a new brand and I’m loving their use of bright green and pink alongside the cute and flirty embroidery details and prints. I’m very intrigued to see how this brand will develop!

Kiss Me Deadly
Kiss Me Deadly are a tried and tested favourite of mine. Next season will see new prints in girdles, a range of gorgeous new corsets and (what I’m personally most excited about) some incredibly swishy chiffon tap pants. I’ve also heard rumours of an overwire bra which I absolutely cannot WAIT to get my hands on…

Lost In Wonderland
Lost In Wonderland are a Berlin based brand that creates luxurious yet ethical, Vegan lingerie. I’m fallen head over heels in love with the new collection; the combination of stunningly beautiful chantilly laces (in my favourite colourway, black and gold), unusual lace placement and silhouette mean that this lingerie to die for. I’ve fallen dangerously in love with the first set (shown below)!

Maud & Marjorie
Maud & Marjorie are a French brand that use lace to particularly stunning effect! I adore this unusual colour pairing of maroon with bright orange, but my personal favourite is the faux-leather soft bra – the stitch detail alongside the delicate lace is exquisite!



Playful Promises
Next season Playful Promises have a range of delicious new prints and styles, from a brand new body shape to a gorgeous set that incorporates gold metal chains as embellishment. My personal favourite is the reinvention of the signature ‘Etti’ set in a stunning rose and peacock print!

Yes Master
Yes Master are renowned for their unusual prints and silhouettes and this season is no exception – just checkout the bra top and cycling shorts shown below! A particular highlight of this collection is the use of leopard-printed sequins. This is definitely lingerie for a daring fashionista!
