Lingerie Fashion Trends for 2012
Apr
19
Trend 1: Rich Colours
This year lingerie and sleepwear designers expressed love for rich, intensive colours. Prominent European lingerie brands such as Aubade, Lise Charmel, Assia Lingerie, Valisere incorporated elements of vivid colours in their collections. Deep, luxurious tones of purple, amethyst, burgundy, fuchsia, indigo, ruby red and emerald green are accentuated with gold elements, black lace, Swarovski crystals and stones.
Trend 2: Black on Nude
Embracing retro chic, designers are effectively combining nude and black colours in their lingerie collections. Beige materials, both in matte finish and with a shimmering golden glow, are used as a foundation, which is designed to blend in with a skin tone. The outline is created with black lace with attention grabbing patterns, decorative black stripes, fabric inserts and embellishments. The styles are ranging from retro pin-up to tattoo effect and fetish inspired bondage imitation. This trend is also transferred to shapewear.
Trend 3: Shapewear
This year lingerie designers crossed the two opposites, shapewear and fine lingerie. The trend is not new but it had been long forgotten until now. In the past several decades the term “shapewear” was perceived as something boring and unsexy. Aesthetic properties of shapewear had been completely neglected as manufacturers become too obsessed with the technical characteristic. Fortunately, this year lingerie designers reminded us that figure correcting undergarments can be elegant end sophisticated. Many brands presented beautiful pieces of shaping lingerie inspired by the old world glamour. High wasted briefs, full bodies, waist-hugging suspender belts and girdles made a comeback. The major highlight of the growing trend was a rebirth of the iconic French brand Scandale.
Trend 4: Romantic style
Romantic style is all about softness and femininity. This season lingerie creators are offering lots of flirty and delicate lingerie in soft pastel colours of beige, rose and pale blue. These pieces are made from flowy materials, such as silk, chiffon and Chantilly lace to achieve a loose fit and promote a sense of lightness and wellbeing. Elements of design include pleated fabric, ruffles, layers, vintage floral prints and embroideries, bows and fabric flowers. Some pieces are embellished with pearls or Swarovski elements to add a luxurious touch.
