It’s been 125 years since Triumph made its mark in the lingerie sector and what a century it’s been.
We’ve seen underwires, corsets, plunge bras and of course little undies come from this brand.
However, for the next few months Triumph is going back to its roots.
To mark its 125 year anniversary it’s launched its vintage collection, which basically does what it says on the tin. In other words it’s a collection of vintage-inspired corsets, bras and knickers that celebrate the nipped-in waists and high-waisted styling of the past.
We heart the bits available and will most definitely be buying some from this limited edition range.

Bar Refaeli will model her own innerwear line when it launches in January.
The Israeli-born supermodel has created a range of items to be worn close to the skin including undershirts, tights and camisoles for her new brand Undeez and Bar insisted all items from the comfortable basics line were personally approved by her.
She said: “We have professional designers, of course, but my ideas and input go into every single item. I try everything before it’s manufactured. I choose the fabric and have the last word on the items.”
The collection, which is targeting the affordable to midrange price segment, is aimed at people age 25 to 45.
Before posing for the brand in January, Bar will most likely increase her workouts as she has previously revealed she makes sure to do extra exercise if she’s got a big shoot coming up.
She said: “I always want to look my best on a shoot, or for a fashion show, so I do an extra couple of sit-ups the night before and I drink hot water with lemon to get my metabolism kick-started in the morning and to cleanse my system, but I don’t do anything crazy.
“There’s nothing worse than forcing yourself to spend hours in the gym when you don’t enjoy it, so I do all sorts of things to work out because I get bored easily.”

We’re excited to reveal that our favourite Bajan princess Rihanna is moving further into the fashion world – and she’s now the face of Armani.
The curvy beauty is set to become the face of Emporio Armani underwear and Armani jeans for Autumn/Winter 2011-12, and you can check out the steamy photos for the new campaign right here in the gallery above. How good does Ri-Ri look in these photos?
What do you think of the singer’s new ambassadorship for the brand? Is it a yay or a nay? For us it’s a yay, yay, yay.

Josephine De La Baume has spoken out about her experience fronting an Agent Provocateur campaign – and the French superbeauty loved it.
Josephine, who is an actress/model and also the gorgeous fiancée of Mark Ronson, found that doing the raunchy AP photoshoot made her feel sexy, powered and confident, as she felt that the lingerie that she modelled showed off the best parts of her figure.
She said: “I worked closely with Johan Renck, the director, so it felt like a collaboration. People say these brands objectify women, but I think Agent Provocateur is empowering. The clothes help you to carry your body with pride.”
I’d like to feel empowered with a little help from Agent Provocateur, but I can’t even afford a G-string from there – lucky old Josephine probably got to keep lots of knickers from the shoot. Looks like it’s empowered in Primark for me then..

Daisy Lowe has revealed that she feels the most comfortable just in her lingerie.
The model, who has worked with the likes of Pam Hogg and Agent Provocateur in the past, and is set to appear in the iconic men’s magazine Playboy in September, says sexy undies are what she feels the most comfortable in.
Daisy told Playboy magazine: “It’s flattering that men think I could be sexy. I would like it if taking my clothes off made other women feel they can do the same. I’m more comfortable in my underwear than anywhere else. You don’t have to worry about how to dress your shape. It’s just there.”
It’s a proud thing to have a normal sized woman with womanly curves like Daisy be so proud of her shape. More power to her.

Pamela Anderson is to release her own range of lingerie.
The former ‘Baywatch’ babe – who recently launched a collection of stockings – has signed a global licensing deal with Secrets in Lace to produce, market and distribute the line and ahs promised buyers won’t be disappointed.
The mother-of-two told WWD: “I am very pleased with the initial collection. I love every one of the styles because they cover every fashion occasion. I’ve always loved lingerie. I like to dress up. Fantasy is something I respond to. There’s a time and a place. Usually if I can’t find a place, it’s not worth my time.
“I have an incredibly diverse collection of lingerie. I actually have too much tucked away in storage. I haven’t bought lingerie in a long time – building my house took much longer than it should have. Now it’s done, it will be a wild playground soon enough, my lair, my boudoir. Anyone who enters – beware.”
Daniel Whitsett, president of Secrets in Lace, added: “We liked the idea that Pam is very into being a mom with two boys and very into being a woman. We’ve been very active and successful with retro looks. All of our 15-denier and 10-denier stockings are made with machinery from the 1950s, and the yarn is 100 percent nylon because Lycra can’t be used with these machines. We like to say ‘guaranteed to run’ because the deniers are so fine.”

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is obsessed with junk food.
The Victoria’s Secret model – who is famed for her curvaceous figure – is missing British cuisine since relocating to the US and loves eating things which are “really, really bad” for her.
She told Maxim magazine: “I love eating really, really bad things, like roast dinners and chocolate bread and butter pudding.
“It’s my soul, England. I miss the people, the culture, the food.
“I find it strange that people say English food is bad. To me, it’s delicious. I’ve never really considered it but I was thinking the other day that maybe it’s strange to have beans on toast for breakfast.”
Although the stunning 24-year-old beauty has never worried about her weight she has previously revealed she was advised to work out if she wanted to succeed in her chosen career.
She said: “I can’t remember a time where I really battled with my body, but I can remember being asked to lose weight and battling with the advice.
“It hurt me. Especially as my baby fat naturally melted away as I got older.
“When I started out, I was definitely heavier. I was quite voluptuous in fact. I had a real baby face and baby fat.
“But I was a baby! I was told I had to get into better shape, but I’m quite stubborn so I didn’t.”

The other day we were given a personal tour of the Passionata showroom to preview their 2011 Autumn-Winter collection, and we’ll happily admit that we’ve already put a couple of items on our wish list.
Modelled by Bar Refaeli – the ex of Leonardo DiCaprio – Passionata AW11 presents an exquisite new collection for the fall season, full of sensuality and glamour, paying homage to the pin-up girl.
“Flirtatious and full of cheerful energy, this winter, the pin-up wants eye-catching colours that will make her figure stand out: stormy blue, thunder blue-green or klein blue; sophisticated aubergine; frivolous pink, and poppy red transforming the pin-up into a bird of paradise.
Featuring contrasting lace and stripes with a slight twist of masculinity, Lovely Passio is an everyday line, the absolute favourite of neo-tomboys hoping to be effortlessly charming…
More couture-styled, with bird feather embroidered tulle and shoulder details that look like cute little wings, the pin-up is well aware that Birdy makes sexy rhyme with poetry.
Finally, she brings out the burlesque spirit with Charisma and So Smoking, two new retro-glam lines, one featuring high-waisted panties and a bandeau bra, and another a very British floral print combined with tulle.”
It’s going to be a hot winter…

It’s not long now until Valentine’s Day is upon us now – editor Andrea’s kindly given us a few ideas for what to give our boyfriends, and put forward a few suggestions for special Valentines outfits, but now it’s time to start thinking about what to wear underneath our little red dresses. It’s official – Valentines is one of the only days of the year when it is completely unacceptable to wear anything from your “comfy pile”- forget M&S and Primark and think more Agent Provocateur.
We’ve searched online on some of the best lingerie retail sites around to find for you what we think are some perfect sets of Valentines underwear. Whether you want your undies to make you feel sexy, cute or feminine, we’ve found something to match everyone. Check out the gallery below.
Playful Promises Heart Bow Pants

Cache Coeur Bra in Blush Pink
Eco-friendly fashion hasn’t got such a good rep in the past – often when we think of organic and world-friendly textiles, we think of a smelly old lady wearing a burlap sack. Or at least I have in the past – but now with Fair-trade designers like People Tree showing us that it’s easy to be kind to the earth and be fashionable at the same time, that’s beginning to change. Still though, “ethical” and “luxurious” are not two words that are normally put in the same sentence to describe fashion – and that’s where lingerie company Saumarez comes in to shake up our preconceptions.
It’s sexy underwear with a difference – beautiful, vintage-inspired lingerie and accessories that could have come straight out of a saucy French photoshoot from the 1930s, but made out of ethically-sourced and recycled fabrics. The site’s slogan is: “Who says being good can’t be fun?” Who indeed. A lot of vintage lace and recycled silks are used, so not only are you helping sustain the ethical fashion industry, but you’re wearing the real deal. Get ready to feel like Miss Von Teese in an array of slippery silk bras, adorable pants with ribbon ties and the coolest nipple tassels ever.
Check the gallery above for our favourites from the site, and get ready to banish that smelly burlap-sack lady from your head for good..
