Tiger: How would you describe the theme of Cosabella's Fall 2010 Collection?

Frisky & Fluffy: A sensual 1970's inspired collection sprinkled with jewel tones, animal prints and wallpaper florals

March 9th 2010 (Miami, FL) - Cosabella revisits the works of photographer David Hamilton as inspiration for the 1970’s vintage feel of their Fall 2010 assortment. The collection expresses the dream like soft focus style while still tapping into the sensual spirit that dominated the 1970’s. A vintage 70’s essence is uncovered in Odile, Alina and Chi Chi. Each group embodying a romantic wistful feeling with the sheer suppleness fabrication.

1970’s animal and wallpaper prints continue the retro sentiment of Fall 2010. Jourdana and Ulrika both in vision the 70’s floral wallpaper color pallet of dusty pink, orange, cream and dark chocolate. Animal prints popularized during the decade shown within the collection include baby leopard in Anouck, sheer leopard in Chi Chi and snow leopard trim in Esmee.

Cosabella’s closing note to their homage to the 1970’s is a colorful assortment of basic groupings; Talco, Aire, Airlace, Laila, Never Say Never and Soire in bright and deep jewel tones of grenadine, bright amethyst, ruby and plum.

Tiger: Tell me a little bit about what makes Lou of Paris so special.

Frisky & Fluffy: Lou Paris proudly revealed its FW10 collection during the Salon International de la Lingerie, from January 23^rd to 25^th2010, in Paris.

The brand creates each and every collection with a high sense of a ‘prêt-à-porter’ spirit. This season Lou Paris plays with the natural elements matching together a mineral / vegetal coloroma: slate blue, pearl, Green and silver…some surprising and original colours quite unusual in Lingerie that Lou highlights through the use of a mix of fabrics: leavers lace and knit, silk and velvet, embroidered tulle on a multi-elastic microfiber…

Lou has succeeded in creating a unique style thanks to a prêt-à-porter inspired collection, clean and flat finishes while keeping a real corset-maker know-how that we can easily identify in the already best seller Idole de Lou, a line inspired by a chic hand-made ‘Taylor suit’ all in leavers lace.

The brand also develops a wide range of complementary pieces of lingerie such as bustier, bodysuit, nightdress (Conte d’Automne, Espiègleries, Idole de Lou…) Lou Paris is definitely moving forward to a unique and original style!
