The Bustier Chairs by La Perla

A new design concept, unique and sensual......
La Perla, the creator of luxurious and fashionable lingerie, joins the 49th edition of Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan, presenting SensoReal, a project of sensorial architecture created by Silvio De Ponte. From this collaboration, new seating concepts are created. The Bustier chairs, in which the backrest incorporates the scenographic corsages from La Perla's collection, feathers with the sensual touch of silk and laces, are the ideal chairs for a contemporary boudoir. Another design piece, the metallic fretworked garter belt, one of the most scenographic pieces from La Perla's Black label collection, becomes a suggestive vis-a-vis bench.

Gaultier Does Lingerie

by Sarah Fones

Having already corseted phallic objects like champagne and perfume bottles, to say nothing of Madonna circa her Blonde Ambition days, you’d think Jean Paul Gaultier would have designed lingerie by now. Well, it seems our panties can unbunch a bit, knowing that JPG has finally launched his first unmentionables collection, slated to hit stores in November. In the meantime, the ever-kinky designer will offer us a tease next week, when two limited-edition pieces will have their coming out at his couture show.

Created in partnership with La Perla, the 27-style line of mostly handmade bras and knickers will also include a waist-cincher and bra modeled after those worn by Madge in her early-90s, chola Marilyn Monroe phase. The new titty holster is actually rather demure, vaguely reminiscent of the paper umbrellas found in fruity vacation cocktails. Fitting, perhaps, since after enough drinks it'll go straight to the hotel room floor.
