Hello my Lovelies!
I’ve been having a lovely chocolate holiday with the Easter Bunny, I think I’ve had too much fun. Anyway, I found out about another trade show that unfortunately already has happened but is supposedly fabulous! From the looks of it, this Lingerie Fair/ Trade Show has top lingerie designers and manufacturers. Here are the Condesa’s picks from the show.
This is the 1st installation of a 3 or 4 part review of the Exhibitors at Salon International de la Lingerie in Versailles. I’m deciding if there is enough good lingerie to make it into a 4 part review…we shall see.

I warn you there are many many divinely original designers here so
be sure not to go too crazy with your credit cards when you see their collections.

Enjoy!
http://www.afvandevorst.be/ – Belgium company who along with lingerie additionally makes women’s wear, men’s wear and shoes. Don’t be fooled just because they are a lingerie company doesn’t mean their NightFall Collection isn’t beautiful. Elegant with soft lace patterns and great sets. They also make stockings and shape wear.

http://www.signetolstrup-afterwear.com/ – Spring/ Summer Collection is playful, sweet, whimsical, and inspired by Marie Antoinette. They use pastel colors and creative combinations for their cute lingerie sets. From the garter sets to the robes it’s all colorful, kind of reminds of Japanese manga girls. The designer is Danish and stands out in compared to the competition.
Check it out!

http://www.albaconfezioni.com/alba1.php - Lingerie isn’t too stunning but their robes and nightwear are luxurious. I recommend taking a look at the creme with lace patterning on the neckline. Gorgeous. It’s not fabulous Italian lingerie but they make great robes and coverups.

http://www.lisecharmel.com/eprise-photo-ling-en – From the Lingerie group Lise Charmel comes Eprise. Ready to wear daytime lingerie, not your typical nighttime playmate undies. Eprise makes lingerie for the full-figured, curvy woman but I bet this collection looks great on skinny girls too. Beautiful embroidery and intricate designs makes their brassieres and panties pure sensuality. Their pieces are great to wear under your business suit or your normal comfy clothes not only because Eprise lingerie is comfortable but you will feel like an undercover sex goddess with it on.

http://www.bacirubati.it/00_est08/00baci08.htm – Bacirubati is a brand owned by the Italian Gruppo Arcte. They own several brands of Men’s and Women’s underwear. Their Bacirubati brand is young, fresh and spirited. They use balconnette bras, push ups with conservative bottoms. Colors from navy blue to bright yellow and then flower prints, they really are all over the place. Exquisite pieces and great cuts.

http://www.assialingerie.com/collections-assia-lingerie.php – Assia is a French lingerie company based in Jonage, France. When you think of French women and French lingerie, you need to think Assia. Their designs epitomize the essence of French sensuality and design in lingerie, they have so many great collections on their website.I suggest looking at – Elfe, Tilluel, Cardinal, Lagon, Défile, Flamenco and Bois de Rose.The website is completely in French. Be warned.
Breathtaking lingerie.

http://www.aubade.com/collections/ete2008/? – Aubade. What can I say? An Internationally known French lingerie brand, known for their quality and sensuality of their collections. Honestly I know they are supposed to be amazing but I think only some of their 2008 collections are noteworthy. Check out – Candide, L’Ambiguë, Sophia, La Glamoureuse, and Mathilde, La Charmeuse.

That’s the end of my review. Truly it’s a pleasure to discover and advertise these wonderful lingerie delights, I hope all you men and women out there take the time to do some special shopping for yourselves or your special someone. These lingerie brands are cream de la creme, I kid you not. Ta- Ta my lovelies. Happy shopping!

I found a video with some of the Brazilian designers I like Sensualle from the store Bella Bella Boutique, enjoy!

Once and while a woman gets bored with her lingerie, goes shopping and doesn’t find anything out of the ordinary and just decides that she could probably something at Victoria’s Secret.  Kind of sad isn’t it? Well if you want to spice things up a little not only in the lingerie collection but for your Significant Other…then I suggest snatching up some Brazilian lingerie.

The Brazilian cut swimsuit is know far and wide for it sensual style that shows off any callipygian. The Brazilian cut panties are quite different than a bikini cut or a thong, mostly because they are the perfect middle ground between the both and show off the buttocks. Here are some sexy, risqué Brazilian cut panty ( they are sure to get you some attention).

Sensualle Brazil Padaria Thong

Seduzione Brazil Brazilian Cut Tanga

Sensualle Brazil Espetaculo Thong (Sassy and sexy skirt and thong)

Sensualle Brazil Pave ThongSensualle Brazil Pave Thong

Along with these very sexy and femme Brazilian cut panties/ thongs, there are these comfortable,
supersexy loungewear or seduction sets.

Marissa Brazilian Cut String Bikini by Undrest

The Undrest Brazilian inspired collections are designed using  100% Supima cotton for the ultimate in comfort, quality and softness. (Translation: Soft, smooth and sexy to the touch for you and your man. If your man lets it stay on you.)The designer chose luxurious trims such as French lace, buttery soft pure silk satin ribbons and mother-of-pearl buttons. ( Translation: Not only is it comfortably sexy but it has the much needed feminine accents to make you feel like a sex goddess and maybe act like one too.)

Here’s another pick, girly style but still alluring and cute:
Primavera Bra & Tamborim Thong

Body Butt Bodysuit (something a little spicer….only the Brazilians would have this.)

If you`re not convinced by the lingerie here’s a little info about Brazilians…when you think of sexy hot-blooded latins don’t forget them. Some of the sexiest female models are Brazilian ( Adriana Lima, Giselle Bundchen, Ana Beatriz Barros and Fernanda Tavares) these women ooze sexy from the inside out. Brazilian women are known throughout South America for being strong, passionate, inexhaustible, fearless and having a take-no-prisoners attitude when it comes to men. Brazilian men are just as hot, of course they have to keep up but it’s hard to when your girlfriend attracts all the attention. You see? these Brazilian lingerie companies know what it’s all about, pure sensuality in every garment.

That’s all for the moment. I keep looking around on the net for titilating, sensual, feminine, and most of sexy for any woman.

Take a look at this picks and enjoy!

Eva Mendes new CK lingerie model

The gorgeous Cuban-American actress Eva Mendes received the nod from CALVIN KLEIN to be in their model for the next global campaign for CK lingerie today. Other past Calvin Klein models are the now-famous Mark Wahlberg, Brooke Shields, Kate Moss ,Hilary Swank and most recently Kate Bosworth. Unequivocally this will only be another great boost to Eva Mendes already blooming career.

Mendes comment on the annoucement,’The company has such an incredible creative legacy. I’m honored to be associated with such an iconic, world-class brand like Calvin Klein.’ (1)

Mendes will not only be a lingerie model for Calvin but has also agreed to to be the face of the new Calvin Klein fragrance. She is an assest to the brand’s image not only for her flawless physical attributes but her strength, intelligence and fierceness as a woman. Good luck to Eva!

¡Chic Italian Handmade Lingerie!

As I was browsing on the Internet today I stumbled

upon this delight… an Italian lingerie website. Nothing special say you…well you are quite wrong, they only make handmade lingerie. The business is family owned and operated in Alba, Italy and their personal philosophy is to perserve the beauty of the garment with every stitch. Not a company that outsources or is even close to being corporate . You see?? It’s a delight, a wonderfully unique delight.

Here it is -

Ambra Corsetteria

Check them out. You know their lingerie is worth every penny…..

Chau amores!

Condesa Limeña

After some research, I found out about some of the larger lingerie and fashion trade shows that are happening in 2008. Sadly, only exhibitors and registered buyers are allowed to enter…which means *moi* can’t go to any one of these events. There´s always next year or a lucky break working in journalism or as a buyer for some department store…

La Condesa Limeña is out and about.

I’m here to look, see, adore, crave and opinionate all things delicate, lacey, silky, sensual…or just lingerie. Enjoy my blog!
