Vintage lingerie on the catwalk
Our peach ballet knickers were featured in the Sunday Express's S magazine a couple of weeks ago as part of a cute pin up inspired shoot. Unfortunately they're not £14 as printed, but the good news is that they're not orange either!

I'm sure you won't have missed the influx of vintage inspired lingerie on the catwalks recently. A few months ago I came across a vintage bra with an art deco inspired sunburst detail on the cup. I'd never seen anything like it but guessed it dated back to the 1940s. I had it on my mannequin in the office for weeks and everyone loved it, but agreed that it would be very uncomfortable to wear as there is vertical boning along the sunburst design on the cup. In the end I incorporated the stitching design into, what became, our Deco bra. Imagine my surprise when I opened February's Vogue to find bra almost identical to my original vintage piece parading down Just Cavalli's runway.


What Katie Did in Vogue Nippon
Our worldwide Vogue campaign continues! This week we're in Vogue Nippon who appear to have fallen heavily for our Glamour shapewear. The pictures feature (top to bottom), our Glamour bustier (right hand side), Glamour bra and Glamour corselette. Being based out in the sticks makes keeping up with international press very difficult so I have to thank one of our stockists - Faire Frou Frou in LA - for pointing me in the direction of Fashion Gone Rogue, a website which covers the best fashion shoots from magazines world wide. If you're into fashion make sure you have plenty of time to look at the site as the first time you visit you'll loose an afternoon in a blink!



What Katie Did recommended by Barbie in Vogue!
We're in July's Vogue! We expected to see one of our corsets in the fashion pages and I was rather disappointed to see that it wasn't used, so it was a nice surprise to get to the last page of the magazine to see Barbie (yes, the Barbie who is celebrating her 50th birthday this year) recommending our Harlow lingerie range.


Oh bother!
A few weeks ago Vogue telephoned us to let us know that our Maitresse Bullet Bra was going to be featured in their May issue in a fashion story photographed by non other than Mario Testino. You can imagine that the excitement was reaching fever pitch as we waited for Vogue to be published.
Whilst at the boutique yesterday I rushed down to our local newsagent to pick up as many copies as they had and eagerly returned to admire the beautiful, fully credited pictures. Recently our press coverage has seemed too good to be true and in this case it was, as alas, although the bra is credited to us it isn't ours! Several designers have made '50s style bra tops this season including Dior, Mui Mui and Commes de Garcon so I can only presume it's by one of them. Oh bother, as my four year old is so fond of saying at the moment. Here's one of the pics anyway.

Recently I've done a few interviews, the first of which was for Pin Up Parade. Pin Up Parade is an online boutique specialising in hard to find faux vintage dress labels including one of my favourites: Bettie Page Clothing. Head on over there to read her What Katie Did interview, but put your credit card in the freezer first!
