Stella McCartney To launch Intimates Line
Stella McCartney is to unveil her first lingerie line in February, it has been revealed. The collection is in partnership with Bendon, a New Zealand lingerie brand, that also happens to handle Elle Macpherson’s line of underwear.
Miss. McCartney says she was inspired by lingerie from an early age. “I was obsessed with French slips, lace inlays and handwork. When I think about lingerie, I tend to think of really handmade precious pieces. … The intimacy that a woman has with her lingerie is quite inspiring.”
The spring-summer 2008 collection will include bras, bodysuits briefs, and chemises in Stella’s signature colours: soft pinks, creams, blues and pearl grays mixed with bright poppy colours. Some of the names for the delicate pieces are said to include Daisy Dreaming, Eve Giggling, Mia Winking and Coco Blushing. Pieces will range from $45 for briefs to $325 for a sequined chemise.
