In the City collection, the Nolita designs fuse masculine pin stripes with feminine floral overlay and polka dotted tulle.  With decorative picot finishes along the necklines and soft knit fabrics used on the lower cups, Nolita bras offer the ultimate in seductive comfort. Nolita briefs feature the same picot finish along the waist, with brazillian, boxer and string cuts with seductive lace side panels.

The Cancun star line is contemporary and fresh, with a smooth, 'second skin' feel. With ultra soft materials and a classic colour palette of browns, ivory and black, Cancun is available in push up, as well as full strap and strapless t-shirt bras. The briefs are adorned with delicate ribbon, and come in Brazilian, string and low-waisted boxer short cuts.

The Beauty collection is all about pleasure and pampering. For Autumn/Winter 2006, these lines create an extremely feminine shape for the wearer, with fine detailing. The colours of the Beauty collection are fresh and light; rose and peach, with darker hues of burgundy to highlight the designs.
