Day Four: Sexy Chic in Paris

You may be saying to yourself, "How could a trend in lingerie be sexy chic?" Isn't that an underlying theme for everything designed in the panty world? Au contraire mon frère! There has been all kinds of interpretation of this provocative styling. There are lines that are dedicated to sweet, fun, basic, romantic, classic, or trendy. The good news is, every designer put a version of the sexy chic in their line. The idea is to seduce the eye without being vulgar.

Menswear has also been a big push because stats say 62% of guys undies are bought by women.

This fun interpretation with hand cuffs was genius on Aubade's part. The ad campaign Aubade uses in French is called lessens in love. This ad says "Double Check His Attachment". Flo, the male model in the ads was there to sign autographs as well as to show off the new line. Do you think Jeanie and I are having any fun?

Life at Sol just isn't complete without tights. So ... guess what lovely things Le Bourget did with the trend?

The last 2 little numbers are from a new company we found on the last day of the fair. Both are special in their own ways. The first is Revanche del la Femme, a new collection of bustiers from Germany. The other is my special love: Silk. It is a line out of Lebanon called Lala Rose. I am shown here in the Hollywood sexy chic gown and robe, but she does lots of looks in both long and short styles.

Enjoy all the glam! Ladies, let's make our lives just a bit more sexy just for ourselves!

Day One in Paris: Becoming French

 It is always such a joy to see my sister tear up when we spend our first day in Paris.  She is such a Francophile (French lover for those wondering) that she nearly bursts on arrival.  I must admit, I too have grown very fond of Paris as the years of traveling to the SIL fair have grown to 10.

For each of us there is something very special.  I adore all of the divine lingerie and I think Jeanie just loves the language, architecture and everything about the city of lights. While we are there we transform ourselves into Parisians.  We speak quietly, eat divine food and walk everywhere.  We pride our sense of transformation to such a degree that we are delighted when a local ask us for directions. 

I can't wait to share all of the special moments we had together last week. Stay tuned for  fun Paris topics this week in the  blog...  neat insights for fall/winter 2013 fashion collections and trends, restaurants, shopping and more!

Bon Jour all my Sol girls 

xoxo,

Cindy
