An Israeli designer has introduced sexy lingerie. Israel based designer Liya Amar has launched La Lilouche and its newest sexy lingerie pieces, which a lot of fashion pundits say are a mixture of naughty and nice.

Liya Amar said that her new sexy lingerie line includes intimates that use silk, satin silk, Swarovski crystals and chantilly lace. These, she says, add more curiosity to her sexy lingerie pieces. She added that she also uses other luxurious materials in order to add more allure to her sexy lingerie line.

Liya Amar started her professional designing career in 2010. Amar started La Lilouche in an effort to showcase pieces that highlight femininity and the female curves. She says that the sexy lingerie pieces included in La Lilouche Cosmic Love collection are geared towards women who want to embrace their femininity and who are not afraid to showcase their being females.

One piece is the “Alexa” lace bodysuit. This sexy lingerie item even has gemstones down the middle of the back. The item is made of sheer lace. The second sexy lingerie piece is the “George” balconette corset bra. The said corset bra is in a rich merlot colour and then finished off with black organza trimmings as well as Swarovski crystals. The third sexy lingerie piece included in La Lilouche is “Charlotte,” which is included specifically in the bridal lingerie line. A 1950’s inspired piece, the “Charlotte” sexy lingerie item has a bloomer design and is reminiscent of the old fashioned maids.

A man who was caught wearing only a bra as well as crotchless underwear was arrested in Oklahoma City last month.

Oklahoma City police operatives arrested last December 27, 2011 a man who was wearing only a bra and crotchless underwear. Forty eight year old Jeff Watson, who is suspected of exposing himself while wearing a bra and crotchless underwear, was arrested last month at the Modern Maternity store in Penn Square Mall.

A clerk at Modern Maternity told authorities that while Watson was browsing for clothes, he asked her for her phone number and to go out to lunch. The clerk refused to give her phone number. Then, the clerk said that the 48 year old Watson bought some items then took his purchases back to a dressing room then called her over to help him.

The clerk said when she went to the dressing room, Watson was wearing only a bra and electric blue crotchless panties. She said Watson kept asking her to look at him. She refused and told Watson to leave. Watson eventually left the store. However, after Watson left, the clerk called her district manager. The district manager, in turn, advised the clerk to call the police and file a report. Watson was arrested on a complaint of indecent exposure. No word if Watson will be able to get a refund on the bra and panties. There are also no updates as to the reason why Watson wore a bra and panties.

Saudi Women Enjoy The benefit of Lingerie Department

Development in the kingdom is coming gradually and not at all definite.

The women in Saudi Arabia succeeded in a small but hopeful victory this year. No, it’s not allowing them to drive, yes, that’s still prohibited. For the most part of the time they still can’t work, take a trip, or even open bank accounts lacking the approval of a male guardian. Except they have this, now: they are now able to purchase lingerie in stores from female sales assistants in place of the every so often leering men who used to work the counters. If this unassuming gesture of liberalisation is taking place, they may even obtain fitting rooms soon.

It does not thud much, except in the hostile procedure of modernisation in the tradition-bound kingdom, it’s a significant step for them.

Eman Nafjian, one of the new generation of Saudi women’s activists, states over coffee in Riyadh, the capital that this is the beginning of a real social change. It will allow more women to work in shopping malls. And that’s a step towards more opportunities for women’s employment in general.

She relays that it wasn’t easy to win the right to sell lingerie. The change has been debated since 2005 and was resisted by traditionalists who oppose women working outside the home. Even though, in this case, the prohibition forced women to bargain with men over bras and panties. The rule was changed only after women spent two years agitating through a Facebook campaign called ”Enough Embarrassment”, and only subsequent to the labour minister was emboldened to obtain and enforce a decree from King Abdullah.

Nafjian says that that’s a microcosm of how life is improving for women in Saudi Arabia. Its pretty slow, and not at all sure. But in Saudi terms, Abdullah is a moderniser, he has promoted education for women, including thousands of college scholarships in the US, and has even promised to begin putting women to his official advisory council, the Shura, by 2013. Each little step forward prompts furious resistance from traditionalists, including Islamic scholars who warn that change is irreligious and the conservative women who say they like the old ways better.

The Victoria and Albert Museum is currently hosting a new exhibition in its Fashion Galleries.  Running until May 2012, the exhibition is called: ‘Ball gowns: British Glamour Since 1950’.   The display features over 60 dresses all of which are created by British designers.  This new exhibition is a ‘must’ for all who are interested in how evening dresses have evolved, dating from the debutante balls of the 1950’s, state occasions and on to those impressive rBritish Glamour ed carpet events.

To visualise a typical debutante ball gown of the 1950’s there would have been an exuberant amount of trimming such as black cotton net encrusted with sequins.  Typically this style ball gown is strapless, a nude strapless bra would be recommended to wear. The underskirt was stiffened with three layers of stiff net, one layer of starched black muslin and a taffeta under slip and the top was shaped and padded.

The singer Beyonce wore a dress featured in the exhibition whilst on stage performing at Barack Obama’s inauguration ball in 2009.  Her dress is a beautiful satin creation.  Diana, the Princess of Wales looked poised and graceful when she wore one of the featured dresses.  Yet another dress was worn by the late Queen Mother.  The Queen’s dress designer in the 1950’s, Norman Hartnell, has some dresses displayed too.  An Atsuko Kudo creation (leading designer of Fetish clothing) has been photographed on the fashion model Georgia Frost, to advertise the event, along with dresses by Worth of London and Hardy Amies.

The colour black

Are we correct to assume that a woman in a bright, geometrically printed shirt is outgoing and strong-minded whereas a woman in a pale beige shirt is shy and introverted?  According to experts, these assumptions are made based upon Art Theory and social psychology.  However, on the whole, experts agree that only a few women shop in this way.  Most prefer a limited palette with dark colours uppermost, rather than a swatch of colour to complement their skin tone, hair colour and personality type.

But there is one colour that has dominated fashion –black.  A glance at a woman’s online fashion website proves that for jackets and trousers, black is a fashion constant.  It sells.
Lingerie comes in all shapes, sizes and colours but black is a sexy colour that anyone can wear.

There are connotations of sophistication with a black dress, drama with black knitwear and safety with black trousers.  Black is controllable.   Moreover, a plus size woman does not want to stand out or look different, so she will choose a black jacket that is absorbed into the crowd, and blends in with the clothes of those surrounding her whilst remaining chic, glamorous and stylish.

Interestingly, fashion magazines use phrases like “brown is the new black” when trying to allure us to buy a brown jacket rather than a black one.

Male fans, particularly Star Wars fans, will definitely be happy to see former Britain’s Next Top Model presenter Lisa Snowdon showcasing bridal lingerie and other sexy underwear as she fronts the latest campaign for retail giant Marks and Spencer.

In one of the photographs, Snowdon has her best Princess Leia impression where she wore a gold-sequined bra and knickers, revealing a certain amount of panache. Unfortunately, Jabba the Hutt couldn’t make the shoot.

The range of bras and underwear which the presenter was wearing during the shoot are marked as being very affordable, with prices starting at £8. Part of the sales proceeds will go to the Breakthrough Breast Cancer organization.

Snowdon is known for being an active support of charities aiding women with breast cancer, having revealed in the past that her grandmother and aunt were diagnosed with the aforementioned disease.

Snowdon has been constantly included in FHM’s list of 100 sexiest women in the world and with her latest gig, she’s still going to make the list this year and perhaps feature on the bedroom walls of a few more Star Wars fans.
