Made by Niki: Atomic

2011-11-28T16:25:00.000Z

Made by Niki has launched its new collection "Atomic" 3 months early due to the high demand.

The collection features allover fringed halterneck bras, bodys and knickers in two-tone shades.

The stunning, hand made collection which was inspired by the secrets of the universe is priced between £125-£339. I for one will be saving my pennies but if you think this is a bit pricey why not take full advantage of their cyber monday sale before its too late. Many pieces from their previous collections are £20 and under!!

What is your favourite piece from the new collection?

Heres a first look at my collection.

The top images shows the full range which consists of Lingerie and nightwear although the long gown and leg split trousers can be multi purpose.

I will put some photos up of the collection soon and it will be available to buy over the coming months.

The Honey Trap prints

2011-05-17T17:53:00.001+01:00

I designed these prints in Illustrator and coloured them in Photoshop. The prints were made by taken parts of the enigma machine which i researched (read previous post for more on inspiration)and making patterns with it, i then added stripes, barbed wire and chains to give it a more sinister feel.

The patterns were then sent off to be printed onto silk viscose satin. Top two prints are repeats and the bottom one is a placement print.

In my next post i will show you some of my illustrations and initial design ideas.

The Honey Trap Inspiration

2011-05-16T17:17:00.000+01:00

Hello,

Hope you are all well! Its been a while since i last blogged but i promise to make sure it becomes a more regular occurrence now that i have a bit more time on my hands. I have been working on a new collection over the past months and the next few posts will be documenting my work from inspiration through to the final garments.

The Initial inspiration for my new collection came from the Exposed: voyeurism, surveillance and the camera exhibition at the Tate Modern. Exposed offered a look at pictures made on the sly, without the explicit permission of the people depicted. This exhibition led me to look into espionage and most notably, the lives of well-known female spies including Mata Hari, Josephine Baker and Noor Inayat Khan. Further research showed many spies were hired to seduce their target (this method is known as the ‘honey trap’) With this in mind i wanted my collection to be quite seductive and colourful to represent the colourful lives of the women i researched.

Spies who were caught often ended up in concentration camps or were killed, i decided to design my own prints based on the enigma machine and incorporated chains, barbed wire and stripes to give it a more sinister feel.( i will be doing a post showing the prints soon). The collection was also influenced by 1940’s fashion.

The collection has been designed for spring/summer 2012 is made up of lingerie and nightwear pieces.

More to come soon

The Resurgence in Popularity of the Pin-Up Girl

2010-11-24T10:46:00.002Z

Guest posting by Maggie Ewles

In the fashion world, trends are cyclical. What's in right now will soon be out, but back in a few years from now. That's just how things work. So, in a sense, nobody should be surprised to see the 1940s-influenced styles starting to make a big comeback in the fashion world. With blogs like , Bobbins and Bombshells and Living Vintage showcasing the growing popularity of vintage sensibilities we can see the influence that this trend is having on contemporary designers. But there's something much more interesting going on with the resurgence of the classic pin-up girl and interest in pin up related culture.

Your typical pin-up girl photo spread featured a buxom model with natural curves, reposing in a suggestive, yet tasteful pose. She typically wore clothing, swimwear or lingerie that was revealing, yet still left plenty to the imagination. It is the innocence and naturalization of feminine sexuality that defines these iconic images.

In the 1950s, during the heyday of the pin-up girl, the world was still fairly uncomfortable with female sexuality. While the cusp of the sexual revolution was just a decade away, repressive rules and strict publishing governance were still the norm, and the pin-up girl was the closest thing the mainstream world had to an acceptable expression of male desire and female beauty. Thank goodness for the wildness that was Betty Page! Thanks to her pioneering efforts, fabulous folk like Dita Von Teese and Scarlet Johansson are celebrated for their curves and alternative beauty.

It's interesting that, in today's hyper-sexualized world, tasteful expressions of sensuality and sexuality are enjoying a resurgence in popularity. The Pin Up Peep Shop believes ìPin up fashion and art wouldÖ rise again with the help of independent burlesque troupes during the mid nineties, as well as the underground resurgence of Rockabilly and Swing music amongst many younger people who would mix the fashions popular with these music fans, along with vintage pin up fashion. The most published pinup artists were Elvgren and Vargas whose original pinup art is highly sought after todayî and those people seeking to embrace a pin up aesthetic often turn to their iconic images.

Burlesque troops, Stars and classes and organizations have sprung up all over the globe and fashions are trending more towards the styles of the pin up. Swimwear and lingerie designers are featuring full, high waist bottoms with low cut legs and luxury fabrics that are a welcome change from the drab, utilitarian, cottons of the 90ís. Finally we have teddies, garters and slips in elegant gossamer fabrics with stunning lace and ribbon details. The clothing is easily attainable through online shopping at stores such as Unique Vintage, The Babygirl Boutique, Lolita Girl and Lucy B.

There are several interesting reasons this is happening. First, as any sex expert or psychologist will tell you, the brain is the most important sex organ. Study after study has shown that a woman wearing suggestive and revealing clothing is more arousing than a fully nude woman. With pictures and videos of naked women engaging in everything from fairly innocent stripteases to full-on sex becoming easier to access than ever, it was really just a matter of time before people reverted to less graphic representations of sexuality and sought out ways to reintroduce themselves to the world of arousal and intimacy.

Second, the world has been bombarded with images of ultra-thin women for decades, and this beauty standard has dominated both the fashion world and the pop culture mainstream. Todayís pin-up girl models can also be viewed as something of a backlash against that impossible, unattainable ideal. It's a celebration of the beauty of natural women with real curves and real bodies. Full figures and curves are sexual and sexy. According to Lauren Wise ìNowadays, a pinup model is revered as a pioneer for women's sexuality and feminine power, and many women respect that and live their lives by it. They dress like the old style pinup girls and wear similar makeup and accessories. They represent female confidence and power, which is very attractive in the 21st century.

Finally, you can also view this revival as being tied in with fashion commercialism. The fact is that very few women have bodies like stick-thin supermodels, and most women not only have curves but want to celebrate them. Making real bodies more visible in mainstream pop culture is not only boosting the self-esteem of women everywhere, it's also boosting sales of average- to plus-sized fashions.

Maggie Ewles is passionate about getting women back in touch with the glamorous aesthetic of the vintage pin up model. She adores retro swimwear and vintage lingerie for the way they showcase her curves and connect her to that alluring era.

Some of the garments used in this shoot are from the Indian Summer collection. The other garments are one off swimwear pieces. Next year i am looking to introduce a swimwear range so any suggestions/ comments would be greatly appreciated!

These photos were shot in natural light using a UV filter to create some interesting effects. The photos were shot in Spain.

Beauty Shoot using some of the new collection

2010-10-08T12:55:00.001+01:00

Some of the pieces from the new collection (out soon) were used for a beauty shoot a couple weeks ago. (hence why they are close ups and you cant see much of the garments... thought i would show you a bit of a preview of what to expect) The shoot was organized by top make up artist Adele Coxon.

The new collection is being shot at the end of the week so i will give you a peak when i get the photos back, I'm also sending some pieces off for a shoot in Spain which will be next week - very excited to see the results. And i have a few other things lined up so watch this space.

Biscuiteers... delicious underwear

2010-09-28T13:42:00.002+01:00

Whilst this underwear may not be wearable it certainly is yummy.

My mum sent me a biscuit card for my birthday and i thought it was such a good idea.

They do lots of different themed biscuits so there's something for everyone: shoes for the shoe lovers - my twin sister got one of those. There's some for children's birthday and any special occasion.

photo: www.bigfish.co.uk

Above is the biscuit card i got for my birthday.

As its just been London Fashion week i thought i would share the clutch bag fashion week inspired biscuit with you too.

Check out the website here

"Biscuit cards are a completely new idea. If you’re looking for a memorable way to say 'Thank you', 'Get well', 'Congratulations' or even 'I love you', why not send a biscuit card instead?"

"Beautifully packaged in a smart white box with pink paper lining, you can send your own personal message and a wonderful treat at the same time"

Biondi Couture placement

2010-09-21T07:20:00.001+01:00

As a lot of you know i am still a student at De Montfort University studying Contour Fashion - just about to start my final year! Part of the course was to get a work placement over the summer. I manages to get a months placement at Biondi couture on old church street, Chelsea (a few doors away from the Manolo Blahnik shop).

I was a bit nervous about the placement and wasn't sure what to expect of what kind of jobs i would have to do but i really enjoyed my time there. Although the commuting sucked and there were times when there wasnt a lot for me to do i got a lot out of my placement and left feeling really inspired.

Not ony does biondi stock some lovely swimwear brands, they also offer a bespoke service to create your a perfectly fitting costume or bikini to your taste and requirements. During my placement i got to help out on the shop floor as well as help out with the sewing, make alterations to swimsuits, and work on line sheets for Biondi's mens swimwear range. I also got to sit in on a buyer meeting with la perla and made my own reservable bikini.

I get to design and make both lingerie and swimwear on my course but have always found swimwear more difficult and always struggle to find stuff that i like, working at biondi opened my eyes to a lot of brands that i had never heard of such as Karla Colletto.

The following images are from the Karla Colletto website which i would seriously recommend checking out, they soing some of the nicest swimwear i have seen in a very long time and im sure you will be equally impressed, the swimwear is quite pricey but when it makes you look that good i would say its soooo worth it!

I adore these swimsuits, they are modern enough for younger women to wear too and give great support and coverage whilst still looking very fashionable and on trend.

Kent Charity Catwalk for Macmillan Cancer Support

2010-09-20T12:03:00.000+01:00

So after months of organizing the catwalk the day finally arrived!

There were a few glitches - a designer dropped out the day before and a few of the models dropped out to illness and an accident on the motor-way which prevented them to get there in time.

Thankfully we managed to find a couple last minute stand ins - Paris Kelly and Julie Anderson who did a fantastic job and luckily nobody in the audience could tell.

We were so lucky to have such an amazing group on board to help out, there were 3 make up artists: Lily-Mae Smith, Hannah Tipping and Amelia Hudson and some very talented hair stylists: Tina Cozens and her team from Blond-E hair and beauty salon in the Meads.

Uk paper Leisure Club very kindly let us use their hall and were extremely helpful, setting out the chairs and even letting us use their red carpet for the model to walk down.

The host Rosie Harris was great warming the audience up and introducing the designers.

The first designer of the evening to showcase her work was Leeanne Ripley- winner of the Radical designer award 2010. Leeanne graduated after studying Fashion Design at the University for the Creative Arts in Rochester, Kent. Previously to this she studied at North West Kent college for two years gaining a BTEC National Diploma in Fashion Design.

Next up was the beautiful creation of Stuart Mcmillan. This collection was based on the deconstruction of traditionally tailored clothes; Exposing the beautiful work of the ‘Tailor’. Using tailoring materials such as Melton, Horsehair canvas and Camel hair canvas the form is molded to the body and encased in a transparent layer of chiffon. Draped Georgette softens the exacting tailored shoulders as jacket detailing takes influences from traditional men’s dress. Stuart McMillan works as a womenswear designer in Italy and also as a fashion Lecturer in London. The host Rosie Harris also wore one of Stuarts dresses on the night.

I was the third designer to show. I have been working on a new collection based on the british county side. The pieces are made using a floral printed cotton, red satin and green velvet. These pics are of some of the nightwear pieces from the new collection, i will have some better pics coming soon to show you.

Susannah Henleys designs were next on the runway. Susannah graduated in 2008 with a BA(Hons) Fashion Design from UCA Rochester, Susannah has spent a year researching, business planning and a few months internship at Emilio De La Morena. How garments fit and how they make you feel are extremely important to Susannah, therefore comfortable elegance is key. Also encorporating soft tailoring in outerwear and trousers complements the look. Susannah designs her own digitally printed fabric which adds to the uniqueness of her collections.

To close the catwalk was Megann'e Murrins creations. Her collection is called Alien Armour and im sure you can see why this name might have been chosen. Neoprene and Leather have been used for most of the collection and feathers have been added for that dromatic feel and to create show pieces as well as wearable pieces.

After the catwalk was over Rosie announced the winners of the silent auction.

One woman bid over £100 for a pair of irregular choice shoes donated by Marina and the Diamonds, and the item which raised the most amount of money was a pair of Ophelia Fancy Knickers which reached an incredible £200!

In total we managed to raise and amazing £1332.20 for Macmillan Cancer Support and the evening was a success, i will definitely be making this an annual event and will aim on making it a bigger and better event each year.

Massive thank you to everyone who helped out- Kelly May- who helped organize the event, the beautiful models, hair stylists and makeup artists, uk paper, the djs - p&m roadshow, photographers & everyone who donated prizes for the raffle and silent auction as-well as everyone who attended.

LGN Movida show

2010-06-22T15:31:00.001+01:00

So last week i unveiled my new collection in my very first fashion show.

The show was in London at the members only club Movida.

I was one of 4 designers. the others were Chantal Gibbs-Jones, Leanne Ripley-Garrett and Kerry Knowles

the show was definitely an experience and i learnt a lot from it.

I had a few issues as some of the models refused to model lingerie and so i had to use whoever didn't mind which meant that the lingerie wasn't the best fit on them.

Also just before one of the models was supposed to go on she broke the zip on the nightie she was wearing in the mad rush so i had to frantically pin her in.

Besides this it was a great day and fun evening.

I haven't got any other pics from the show just yet as i've got to get my film developed but the one above is of one of the sets from my new indian summer collection.

speak soon

Winter wonderland waspie

2009-12-16T18:25:00.000Z

Ive been working on a corset and waspie based on the theme of winter wonderland.

The corset still needs a few bits doing to it but my waspie is finally done!! woo! The bone casing looks a bit messy in places and i need to unpick some and redo a few bits but the presentation is tomorrow so it will be staying like this for now and i will have to make the amendments before the hand-in after the christmas holidays.

The pic is not very clear but there are suspender straps coming from the waspie and i made the matching knickers and shrug to go with it.

Knickerrrrrssssss

2009-12-05T14:48:00.000Z

I've been set a knicker project at uni, to make 6 different styles of knickers, here are a few of mine.

Busy, busy, busy

2009-11-30T15:05:00.000Z

I've been tres busy over the last couple of weeks and still have a ridiculous amount of work to be getting on with but heres a little peek at what i've been getting upto. This is just a basque i've been making at uni (i didn't choose the fabric) i still have to add some arm straps and suspender straps but i personally think it looks better without. I now have 3 weeks to design, pattern cut and make a corset and basque (or something adapted from a basque pattern e.g a waspie) i am basing mine on a winter wonderland theme, fingers crossed i will get it done in time, eeek!!

Sleeping beauty

2009-11-22T17:05:00.001Z

its a bit of a tradition that every year my friends & i make each others christmas presents, last year i made them some underwear but this year i thought id make them some night wear.

I've got a bit of an obsession with sheer vintage looking nighties atm so i thought id have a go at making my own.

I've only made these two so far so will post the others when im done

Apologies for the rubbish photos, the colours aren't actually as dull as they appear in these images.

The top one is made out of chiffon... it was a bit of a pain to sew & my sewing machine tried to eat it on a few occasions but it came out alright in the end, the bottom one is made out of lace and stretch satin.

What do you think of them?

Strumpet and Pink

2009-11-13T18:34:00.009Z

I need these knickers in my life!!! Unfortunately i am but a poor student so i definately wont be purchasing them anytime soon.

I may have to make myself some high waisted knickers at some point... thats if i ever have time.

How great would it be to lounge around the house all day in a pair of these?!?

Mr Pearl Corsets

2009-10-02T11:26:00.007+01:00

Sorry i've been slacking a bit on the ol' blogging recently, i've been working on my uni summer projects so haven't had much free time. One of my projects was to write an essay on the history of the corset so corsets have been on my brain a LOT lately. I figured it was only fitting that i do a quick cheeky little post on corsets. These corsets are by Mr Pearl, Mr Pearl makes a lot of corsets for celebrities, here are a select few images of his work, look how intricate the details are... I should be designing and making a corset this term but i have a feeling mine will be kept much more simple.

2009-06-24T11:29:00.003+01:00

I love this collection by Ell & Cee. A lot of the garments can be worn as outer wear as well as underwear. It is influenced by vintage fashion and has a very romantic feeling about it.

Damaris and Roksanda Ilincic collaboration

2009-06-22T20:16:00.005+01:00

I just stumbled across a post on Petite Coquette about Damaris (the lingerie designer) and roksanda Ilincics collaboration, they have designed a limited edition capsule collection for Spring/Summer 2009 and i just had to share it with you as the lingerie sets are absolutely beautiful!! I want them all... unfortunately they are a little out of my price range as the cheapest pair of knickers cost £80 alone!

One more photo from the shoot

2009-06-16T20:34:00.003+01:00

One of my friends volunteered to model one of my lingerie sets i'd made for the website...it was rather see through... i dont think she realised what she was getting herself in to. This is my favourite one and will be up on the website.

Hopefully the website will be up and running by tomorrow evening, if you get a chance stop by and let me know what you think.

My Fair Lady Knickers

2009-05-19T14:35:00.003+01:00

I finished my first year at uni last week and now have until early october free. I was hoping to get a job but unfortunately there isn't much work going around where i live and lots of people aren't hiring because of the recession so i figured to keep myself busy i could make lingerie to try and sell online. Im planning on setting up a website within the next couple of weeks so look out for it :). Here are some of the knickers i have made. The photo isn't very clear so i put a photo of the fabric up too so you can get a better idea of what it is like. Let me know what you think and if you have any advice/ suggestions of what you might like to see.

Tatjana Jeremic

2009-05-16T11:33:00.006+01:00

I havent got the internet at home at the moment so this just a quick post whilst im at my nan and grandads. Tatjana Jeremic does a lot of lingerie illustrations.

I really like her work, she incorporates a lot of textures by scanning in flowers and petals which give the work a girly finish. Below are some of her illustrations, enjoy.

The Symington Corsetry Collection

2009-05-08T16:22:00.005+01:00

One of my second year projects is to write an essay on the history of the corset so i decided to start by going to see the Symington corsetry collection at Snibston Discovery Park in Coalville, Leicester. The day started off as a complete disaster as we got off at the wrong bus stop and ended up completely lost, to make matters worse it then started pouring hard, we called about 4 different taxi services to come get us but they were all busy. I finally managed to get a cab and 2 hours after leaving home we arrived. The fashion gallery and corset collection was pretty impressive and definately worth a visit if you are interested in fashion at all and theres plenty to do for all ages.

Here are some of the photos i took:

Polka dots

2009-05-07T12:58:00.004+01:00

I've developed a bit of a polka dot obsession lately

Here are some polka dot bikinis i like

And this is a swimming costume and a triangle bikini i made at uni

Marie Antoinette

2009-05-06T11:56:00.007+01:00

I recently watched the Cappola movie and was very inspired by the costumes and colours used and decided to make a lingerie set based on this. The top image is a screen shot from the film and the one underneath is my design.

Signe Tolstrup's SS08 collection was based on Maire Antoinette.

The collection is quite girly and delicate but also seductive

Here are some of my favourite pieces from the collection.

I love the colour pallete used

Rosapois

2009-05-06T11:19:00.005+01:00

Rosapois is an Italian lingerie brand, its luxurious and sensual.

I really like the collection particularly the bottom set.

Naory

2009-05-06T11:15:00.005+01:00

I really like these photos, the top one is my favourite its fairly simple but effective.

50s Inspired lingerie by me

2009-05-05T15:18:00.000+01:00

I've always loved 1950s fashion. It always seems so feminine and glamorous. i made this lingerie based on the 50s. The girdle was a bit tricky to make as i had never made one before and i saw it as a challenge. I was very happy with the outcome.

Camilla & Marc Swim

2009-05-05T14:32:00.000+01:00

This swimwear by Camilla & Marc has a very retro feel

The swimsuit at the top is £107. i love the back and the floral print.

Jantzen swimwear ads

2009-05-05T14:22:00.000+01:00

1950s style swimwear is becoming very popular right now.

Here are some Jantzen ads from 50s.

I absolutely love these swimsuits they are very classy and stylish.
