A slightly different Friday feature for you this week, Blog Reader: both a lingerie feature and an outfit post. During my last trip home to London I had the opportunity to once again pay a visit to the fantastic creative team at Bordelle. This Friday feature focusses on their stunning new autumn winter 12/13 collection, inspired by the movies of David Lynch, specifically the surreal ‘Blue Velvet’ with all its dreamy imagery.
Bordelle’s new autumn winter 12/13 is rich in film noir shades (black and neutrals), punctuated with (what else but) velvety purple and deep red. Some of my favourites from the new line are the Blue Velvet Justine Plunge Bra and Velvet Odile knicker which make a wonderful everyday set with a little opulence.

Within this new fashion forward lingerie collection are several pieces that can be worn as outerwear. Their Voyeur Harness is a spectacular body accessory that Bordelle introduced me to during my very first visit to their HQ – I loved the style so much I put in my order there and then.
I’ve been wearing the harness over the simplest dresses and plain tees. Created from satin elastic panelling, the shoulder pads give this piece great structure. It is fully adjustable at the front, back and sides – and along the sides run bold, gold plated rings. You can wear the harness two ways (in the style I am showing here, the front is technically the back of the harness but I prefer the emphasis on the back with the ring design). The harness is a perfect accompaniment to Bordelle’s floor sweeping Isabella gown, below:
Other favourites from the new collection are the Voyeur suspender, a body contouring piece with two oversized gold rings at the sides and the masterpiece that is the Tutu waspie – a girdle with satin elastic panelling and tulle peplum overlay. This ability to create truly fashion forward lingerie, to continually innovate and evolve signature designs is one of the reasons I like Bordelle so much.

Provocative, dominant and highly sexy – I said before I feel that Bordelle encourage you to bring out your assertive inner goddess and this new collection is no exception. You can see the full range on the Bordelle site here.
