What's lurking in the bottom of your
lingerie drawer?
Practical pants that have been washed grey but you refuse to part with
while the elastic still holds? Big Bridget Jones style briefs to
bolster your confidence and pull in those extra post Christmas pounds.
So it is the perfect time to take yourself, and your undies, in
hand.
Cast aside those clothes that you would be ashamed to be caught wearing
and spoil yourself with some seductive lingerie.
Agent Provocateur by Joseph Corre and Serena Rees is all about women
celebrating their sexuality and discovering their inner dominatrix.
As the son of the original princess of punk, designer Vivienne Westwood
and Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren, Joe knows a thing or two about
turning convention on its head - it's in the genes.
Which is why their lingerie range was originally marketed as "more
S&M less M&S".
They have helped to bring fetish wear out of the underground and into
the mainstream - so much so that in 2000 Marks & Spencer commissioned
Joe and Serena to design a range (Salon Rose) for them.
Influences for Agent Provecateur intimates include 18th century
courtesans, the Orient, Las Vegas strippers and slaves.
The AP empire has expanded to include
books, shoes, jewellery, fragrance and cosmetics, as well as underwear
outlets in the UK and America, a website and mail order. They are now
available from the in-store boutique in Selfridges.
The Jean Paul Gaultier Champagne
is one of 1000 limited edition worldwide £75 per bottle available
exclusively at Selfridges.
