SIL Preview: Fantasie AW16 (Including Fantasie Swim)

Next up, Fantasie! Fantasie has a slightly more mature and sophisticated aesthetic than Freya, with the Fantasie AW16 collection primarily featuring shades of navy blue, teal, pomegranate and ivory, with accents of white, gold and silver.

Fantasie Sofia Padded Half Cup Bra and Waspie in Black (30 D-G, 32-38 C-G & S-XL; Side Support Bra also available in sizes 30-36 D-HH, 38 D-H, 40 D-FF) ; Fantasie Natasha Plunge Balcony Bra in Black (30 D-G, 32-38 C-G)

First up, the Sofia and Natasha! These are both new styles, featuring a black base with gold and silver embroidery, but with a very different overall look! The Sofia is an incredibly beautiful, luxurious style, with an option for a coordinating waspie suspender, something I’m very pleased about! Matching suspenders seem to be far and few between in the full-bust world, so I’m always excited to see more options including them on the market. The Natasha features leopard embroidery; leopard print is often seen as being trashy or overtly sexy, but I think this embroidered approach to leopard lingerie gives a sophisticated edge to the style.

My Top Picks for AW15

If you follow many lingerie blogs, you may have realised that this time of year is when all the lingerie brands head to tradeshows to showcase what will be new from them next season. In fact, I’ve just gotten back from Moda, where I got to see lots of next year’s lovely SS16 pieces (more on that soon!), but for now I thought it might be nice to do a round-up of all of my favourite pieces coming out for AW15 – that is, anytime now!

Curvy Kate

Curvy Kate’s AW15 collection primarily features cranberry red, eyecatching oranges and golds, with some splashes of pixie green.

Curvy Kate Ellace Black/Champagne

One of my firm favourites, this is the Ellace in Black/Champagne. This bra is Curvy Kate’s first foray into a balconette with a stretch lace upper (a design which seems to be becoming very popular!), which I am so excited to try out myself. Available in 28-40 D-K, 42-44 D-G at Brastop. Continue reading

Moda Previews: Fantasie SS15

Continuing with the Eveden/Wacoal group, today I’m covering Fantasie‘s SS15 collection, which primarily features shades of fresh blueberry, eye-catching reds, soft blush and cool mint. As of SS15, another of the Eveden brands, Fauve, will cease to be, and many of its styles will instead be incorporated into the other brands – in particular, Fantasie. This means that along with the sorts of styles Fantasie has included before, Fantasie will now incorporate some more luxurious, higher end pieces.
