Lap of luxury

Call it a retaliation to the recession. Call it a return to luxury. Call it a secret treat that no-one else but your lover sees.

Whatever you call it, the new Obsidian lingerie is unashamedly luxurious, make no bones about it.

Its European lace trims and highest quality fabrics make the Spring Summer 2011 Obsidian collection one to make you feel pretty special as you slip it on - or off!

 Indeed, as Creative Director, Elle Macpherson explains, “Obsidian as a collection is a passion of mine and is designed with a particular woman in mind. It’s the lingerie I choose when I want to feel truly special.”

 The collection has seven stories.

Deanna and Gloria both quite structured with almost vintage styling.

Gloria in stretch silk highlighted with golden roses – so flattering against your skin.

Raquel has Elle’s signature twist to the design – soft blush pink silk cleverly combined with black leopard spot lace.



Lucinda is faux see through nude coloured mesh and black embroidery.



Greta has Obsidian’s new demi-cup shaped bra, edged in guipure lace.



Rita is so pretty - delicate leavers lace with satin bows on fine satin straps.



Luna in the most beautiful twilight grey has a chemise to complement the bra, bikini and culotte.

In Elle’s words, “this is lingerie for grown ups!”

We think it looks like attire for a Hitchock heroine. But whether you're leading lady in a film noir or acting out your own life, Obsidian will make you feel the star, from top to toe.
