Saintly sinners

Maria plays it the demure side of saucy.

With her cheeky shorts, and vintage-style lace trim, she is a silk teddy that I can see Vivienne Leigh in Gone With the Wind wearing on her honeymoon with Clarke Gable.

Maria, from the Obsidian line from Elle Macpherson Intimates available at Bendon stores, is instore from March 2012.

The new Obsidian collection is unashamedly luxurious, and errs on the sensual rather than the sexy side. Where their Pleasure State label can be extremely sexy and boudoir like, Obsidian is tasteful and always elegant. I think of it as saintly sinning.

At a higher pricepoint, it's for women who love wearing silk and European lace. The collection has seven new styles this coming Autumn Winter 2012 season, which will be arriving in stores from January through to May 2012. Here are a few of Thread.co.nz's favourites...

Maggie - instore January.

Rita - instore March.

Anya - instore May.

Mila - instore May.
