Anatomy of a Heart

The decor at Lounge Lover, where we had some drinks a few weeks ago - fits so well with our AW12 collection!

 

It seemed quite fitting that when the PP team went out for a drink we were sat right next to the amazing old anatomy posters, seen above! Why? Our current collection for AW12 is called "Anatomy of a Heart", inspired by the colours and shapes inside the human body. 

 

The collection was first born after Emma took a trip to the Wellcome Collection and the Hunterian Museum; whose halls are lined with anatomical, zoological and pathological specimens. We all know love and passion is a key theme in lingerie, but it was time to delve a little deeper - literally!

 

Anatomical drawings inspired the rich reds, purples and blues featured in the collection. While you may find all this rather squeamish, it is interesting to remember that the study of anatomy is one of the most historically rich sciences, and without it... well, can you imagine?!

 

 

The Love set is inspired by muscles and tendons, with our classic hand-stitched detail re-created in a deep pulsating red. 

 

 

True Love and Juliette, colours of blood after and before oxygenation.

The Sexy Underground: Behind the scenes at our catwalk event

 

On the 16th Feb, just before London Fashion Week, we teamed up with swimwear brand Paolita and lingerie brands Kiss Me Deadly and Lucile, for a stunning catwalk show.


Held in the sumptuous carnivalesque Cirque du Soir, we showed off what it means to be an independent brand, showcasing some of our never-before-seen collections!

 

We just recieved some fantastic behind-the-scenes photos, we'd love to share with you.
