Obsidian and lace

I am loving the new season lingerie pieces from Obisidian by Elle Macpherson Intimates, in this upmarket and sophisticated line aimed at being fashion-forward.

The campaign was shot by the fabulous fashion photographer Regan Cameron in New York earlier this year. The Obsidian campaign exhibits "moments of urgent intimacy between two lovers but is ironically captured in a staged setting, highlighting the desire and beauty of the moment."

The luxury fabric sourced from France, Japan and Italy sets Obsidian by Elle Macpherson Intimates apart. The fabrics include laces, silks, tulles, stunning embroidery and jacquards.

Just look at this divine pink and black number with delicate jewel motifs- so forties vintage yet so modern too.

It, like all the Obsidian collection, is named for women; Jennifer in Blush. Bra $120, Culotte $55 and Thong $55.

Frances in Green Ivy. Underwire Bra $140 Culotte $70 Thong $70 and Chemise $200.

And bringing sexy back, with a black Austrian embroidery g. Eleanor in Black. Bra $140 Bikini $70 Thong $70 and Chemise $200.

If I were to do black lace, it would be like this, pictured below: this sheer lacy bra and brief are more subtly sophisticated than sexy. Bea in Black.Soft Cup Bra $80 Underwire Bra $100 Bikini $50 Thong $50 and Chemise $170.
