Hai bras: 10 collaboration lines of linen
Liza Kologreeva
The sales of the underwear collection by the English designer Marios Schwab for the Asos online store are starting. Wonderzine talks about this and nine more such collections: from Natalia Vodianova for Etam to Jean-Paul Gauthier for La Perla.
Marios Schwab for Asos
Colleague Christopher Kane and Mary Katranzu Marios Schwab for the second season in a row makes a collection for Asos. The new one that just went on sale was inspired by the LA Follies dancers and the works of the British writer James Allen: these are lace bras, pants and body with cutouts at a price not higher than 5,000 rubles. By the way, the designer’s previous clothes line is still on sale with discounts.
Sisters Cruz for Agent Provocateur
At the end of the summer, L'Agent was launched - the democratic line of the Agent Provocateur brand, created by the creative director of this company, Sarah Shotton, in collaboration with Monica and Penelope Cruz. In their first collection there are purple combinations with purple lace, red transparent sconces and underpants and other things in the AP corporate style. In Russia, they are sold in the online store Aizel.ru at very modest prices, and perhaps this will be another five years - this is how long Cruz works with L'Agent.
Alöe for & Other Stories
& Other Stories - a new brand of conglomerate H & M - released a collection along with the brand Alöe, which was founded by Central Saint Martins graduate Claire Judge in 2003. In this line are underwear and homewear inspired by vintage and dancers: these are silk kimonos, simple floral print sconces and shorts. The collection is already on sale in the & Other Stories stores and online on Stories.com at prices ranging from £ 12 to £ 80.
Jean-Paul Gauthier for La Perla
Between the creation of furniture and clothes for children, a multidisciplinary designer was also taken for linen. Since 2010, he has worked with the Italian brand La Perla. In their first joint collection was only underwear, and in the second there were swimsuits.
Kate Spade for The Lake & Stars
The promising lingerie brand The Lake & Stars, caressed even by the Style.com site, made a collection of five items for another promising brand, Kate Spade. These were tops, shirts and panties made of beige silk with pink details. Apparently, both brands are so popular in America that their collection was sold out instantly - it is difficult to find even in online flea markets.
Araks for Goop
Strictly speaking, this is not a line of linen — rather, items for the home: pajamas and robes. Araks Yeremyan, an American designer with Armenian roots, known primarily for her underwear, not clothing, made it for the online store of actress Gwyneth Paltrow Goop.
David Beckham for H & M
David Beckham creates underwear for H & M for several seasons in a row: these are mainly cotton underpants and undershirts. The last time about the collection even shot a video: Guy Ritchie captured the footballer chasing the car. Prior to that, Beckham had been filming in the Emporio Armani underwear campaign, but he was designing for the first time.
VPL for Anthropologie
The designer of the American VPL brand, Victoria Bartlett, known for the line of linen in the spirit of sportswear, launched the democratic line with Anthropologie. There were 18 items in the line with six different prints, the creation of which was inspired by the paintings of the Dutch artist M.C. Escher. Prices for underwear in the new line ranged from $ 48 to $ 68. If you try hard, bodices and underwear from the line can be found on eBay. True, more expensive.
Julia Restoan-Roytfeld for Kiki de Montparnasse
Kiki from Montparnasse is the nickname of the French actress and singer Alice Pin in whose honor the brand of linen is named. The collection was created for her by daughter Karin Roitfeld, a journalist and model Julia Restoan-Reitfeld. It was a corset, sconce, pants, made by hand from natural silk.
Natalya Vodyanova for Etam
At first, Natalia Vodianova was the face of the Etam brand, and then she made a couple of underwear collections along with the French. They went out from 2009 to 2011 and talked about the creator’s Russian roots and her love of music and dance.
