Marlies Dekkers Summer 2012

Ah yes, another season, and more ways to fuel your bra addiction. Thank you Marlies Dekkers for yet another excellent group of stylish, fashion forward bras and panties that have exceptional fit and style! All groups shown are available in plunge and balconette bras, thongs and briefs. Here’s what’s new at Esprit de la Femme… (Click on the images to see a larger version)

Sometimes we get so caught up in all of the outrageously coloured and decorated bras available (can you blame us??) that sometimes we forget that basic can be great too. A nude-coloured bra is a staple in many women’s wardrobes, and is the colour we get asked for often this time of year. But often your options are so plain…So guess what– we brought in a nude -and still sexy!- bra for your bra collections. This is Space Odyssey in a pretty caramel colour. It has gold-plated hardware and will complement your summer tops and tees perfectly ♥

Bring a pop of bold colour into your wardrobe with Cixi. Named for a Chinese Qing Dynasty leader, this striking bra and panty feature a soft microfibre fabric with a parasol print, yellow and black woven straps, and black French ruffle lace. This bra will get you noticed, so pair it with black, white, or red for extra oomph!

Try a more understated, but still stylish, bra style with “Talisman.” This bra is so classy with its bronze-on-black pinstripes, lace trim, red butterfly hardware, and adorable beaded charms. The straps over the shoulders have a subtle “cutout” panel through the centre, and the thin, stretchy black and red straps cross behind the back in true Marlies Dekkers style. Talisman continues the masculine/feminine trend we saw in the fall in a fresh way that you can show off all summer long!

Get ready to fall in love with Symphony of Lights! This bra and panty play in perfectly with the soft pastels that are everywhere this spring. This truly unique colour combination of periwinkle and peach are on their own very pretty, but together create a vibrant, punchy look! The detailing on the briefs feature a rubbery tattoo-style sparrow motif, which accents the detailing on the shoulder straps: Strips of transparent neon orange plastic — Materials we’ve never seen on a bra before! But they look absolutely amazing. Leave it to Marlies Dekkers to push the boundaries once again!

More to come, lovelies!… xoxo
