Back in May, we got chatting with London-based lingerie designer, Tamara about her fetish-inspired brand, Almeida. (Read that post here). Almeida is now available on online boutique ifyouplease.co.uk. This gives us the perfect opportunity to take a look at some of the pieces from the debut collection we didn't get to share here. I love the purple/red lace and how it contrasts with the leather. Congratulations to Tamara Bell on a sophisticated, fabulous debut!
With a new website currently under construction and a concession on ifyouplease.co.uk from July 2nd, independent brand, Almeida, is about to take the lingerie world by storm. The stunning, bondage-heavy look book showcasing fetish-inspired pieces and the website dominated by a leather clad model with merely the ominous words "Coming Soon" have got us very excited for this fresh new brand. Checking out the look book it seems we can expect plenty of leather and lace, cupless bras and a fab little lingerie dress. A big thanks to Tamara for chatting with us about her sophisticated and, frankly, smoking hot new collection.
So I thought it was time to switch it up a little from the usual "how to wear your lingerie" post I do on Thursdays. I also must apologise for the lack of "High street lingerie" this week, as I've been super busy with getting work done for my Final Major Project (I'm sure some of you ladies get me, so stressful!). Today I want to talk about the wonderful harness! There are so many different kinds out there to choose from, some very understated and simple, and some that make an outfit. They are easily transitioned from lingerie to day-wear to night-wear. With lingerie you can wear it as a kind of restraint for those who are into flogging and fetish, paired with your best leather under-bust and knee-high boots, or whatever your Master might desire! If you're more fashionista than fetishist, the harness easily turns into day-wear over a simple crisp white shirt or pretty, light dress to offset the cutesy ensemble or spice up an office outfit. For night-wear, wear over just about anything you like! It's best to choose a contrasting colour to bring out the straps, but sometimes black on black works well too, with different textures. So, here are my top harnesses!
