Last year we did a post on pin-up photographer Carlo Pieroni, and we recently discovered that he added a few new images to his portfolio! His work really does capture the essence of the vintage pin-up from the fresh-faced leggy models to the campy illustrated backdrops.
The lingerie in each shot is so adorable, and one of the images actually features an entire Fifi Chachnil set sold at Faire Frou Frou. We have the lingerie, all we need is Carlo to come over with his camera! Wouldn't it be fun to splurge and have someone capture you in a photograph looking this amazing?

Gaultier for La Perla Capsule Collection

images via here

Remember how we saw those exquisite Jean Paul Gaultier lingerie-inspired pieces on the runway (see our post here)? Now the look can be yours with the launch of a capsule collection between Gaultier and "the pearl of lingerie" La Perla.
On July 7th the limited edition pieces will make their public debut at Gaultier's haute couture show in Paris. The pieces will be available for purchase in specialty boutiques in November 2010.
We suppose that for those of you who have been hungering for your very own cone bra since the days of Madonna flaunting her bullet-shaped breasts are in for a real treat!

We are so excited to share that the beautiful French lingerie label Maison Close is now being carried at Faire Frou Frou!
Not only is the collection visually enticing and risque in a sophisticated way, but it's very well-priced (we're talking under $100 for most items). Not even one week ago we received our first shipment and we're nearly sold out! Luckily the next shipment is on its way in and we're introducing some new styles that aren't yet on our website.
Maison Close is certainly special occasion lingerie and offers some wonderfully fun accessories to go along with your wardrobe. For instance, the masquerade eye mask and the "petite lecon" ruler have gotten an amazing response from our customers (even our celebrity clientele, ahem). Also, the Villa Caprice strappy cuffs and leg harnesses can make a great accessory to go along with your outerwear.
We highly encourage you to check out the new goodies at our shop...and you definitely need to buy something if you have an up-coming bachelorette party!

Rosa Cha... Inspired by Lingerie!

a Rosa Cha knit belted bodysuit - how adorable!

this piece (above) reminds us of the Christian Dior bodysuits & bustiers we've seen a lot of



images via Rosa Cha

Naturally when we hear the brand name Rosa Cha, we think of elegant Brazilian swimwear. Now we can add beautiful intimates to the list with the recent addition of lingerie to the label (along with some beautiful lingerie-inspired RTW). The moment we saw the images from the Summer 2010 collection, we knew we had to share. The 'High Summer' collection (does that mean Winter?) includes some darling bodysuits, and we particularly love the black knit piece with the belt & sweater. We can't help but wonder, however, if our love of model Chanel Iman is influencing our opinion of the designs!
An interesting little tidbit we learned about Amir Slama, the founder & original designer behind Rosa Cha, is that he launched the brand in 1990 after leaving his career as a history professor. The brand's new designer is Alexandre Herchcovitch.
To see more lookbook images (and there are plenty more), visit the Rosa Cha website.

Leave it to Ellen von Unwerth to feature lingerie in a playful yet risque way for VS Magazine. In her signature style, von Unwerth creates a Naughty Fairytale featuring coquettish girls having fun in very suggestive intimates. You can see the entire uncensored spread in the most recent issue of VS Magazine (we had to do a bit of light censoring as you can see).
We love that the models are wearing Bordelle, a UK lingerie brand coming to Faire Frou Frou this Fall! We're surprised there's no Fifi Chachnil in any of the shots...that's usually a von Unwerth staple.
Check out the frothy little video that accompanies this photo shoot...lots of Marie Antoinette-inspired eye candy!

On a completely separate note, have you visited the new Faire Frou Frou online store yet? Check out the site to see our new look!

Fun in the Sun!

images via photographer Luke Duval

These Luke Duval photographs remind us of both the old Coppertone ads and vintage pin-up pictures that we've collected over the years. The seafoam backdrop and the retro-styled models really set the stage for a 1950s look. If we didn't know better we would have thought these photos were paintings (certainly inspired by the work of Elvgren).
Each of these looks is a perfect way to welcome the weekend, and a nice continuation of the Chantal Thomass swim spread we featured yesterday.

Bathing Beauties - Chantal Thomass





images via Chantal Thomass

Chantal Thomass hits another home-run with the images from her Summer 2010 swimwear collection. This is what being a bathing beauty is all about! With the vibrant colors and the pretty girls sur la plage, these images can't help but make us wish for a beach get-away. The first bathing suit (or maillot) would make some interesting tan lines, right? The rest of the pieces are traditional shapes with the signature Chantal Thomass touch.

Being the queen of cross-promotion, Chantal Thomass has recently designed her own line of iPhone covers! There's even an iPhone app for her brand. This is in addition to her special designs for a car, laundry machine, sunglasses, parasols, etc. We can't wait to see what she comes up with next!
