Real Life in Lingerie: Meet Annapurna!


I'd like to introduce our dear LIL readers to the newest member of the Lille family. This time I'm not talking about a brand or designer, but rather our new employee, Annapurna (pronounced ohn-ah-per-nah.) She's pictured above looking sweet and fabulous in a pair of Wolford Zarea tights in the awesome Chutney shade.  She loves Spicy Chai Tea, spending time with her family, fabulous lingerie (of course) and karaoke, where she does a mean rendition of anything by Heart, Fleetwood Mac or Nina Simone.  You'll be seeing a lot of Anna at upcoming Lille events, so be sure to welcome her!

Exclusive! Yasmine Eslami Lingerie

We are so pleased to announce the arrival of the new debut capsule collection of gorgeous French lingerie by Yasmine Eslami, who designed for Vivenne Westwood and worked as a stylist in Paris prior to launching her eponymous line just a few months ago. Sweet and humble in person, Yasmine is like your best stylish girlfriend who is in-the-know about everything on the cutting edge of fashion.  Her many years in the industry serve her well in terms of knowing not only what women want, but also ensuring that the fit and material selection is correct.  She has already been featured in Elle, Vogue, WWD and many independent French magazines, and the buzz about her is only going to grow. I felt so privileged to have lunch with her in Paris last September and hear more about her beautiful line, which fits right in at Lille!  We are the very first store in the country to carry this collection, which is only available at a few boutiques worldwide and includes woven cotton underwire bras and matching knickers with embroidered flowers, silky contour bras with secret love messages and sexy lace demi-bras that flatter every figure. Her line is especially suited to smaller cups looking for a bit of lift, and ranges is size from 32A-34D, retailing at $65-165. The bras are already flying out the door, so stop by soon to check them out. We've also just started our Spring Cleaning Sale, so all Fall merchandise is now marked down an additional 10-30%, with steals up to 80% off! See you soon...

Spring 2011 Araks

photo by Adina Fohlin
Our Spring shipment of Araks just arrived! Known for her sustainable and ethical business practices and super-stylish cotton/silk lingerie, Araks has been one of our favorite designers since the grand opening of Lille nearly 4 years ago.  We are so pleased to see that she has brought back some of our favorite styles like the comfy cotton Antonia bralette and Isabella panty pictured above in the fantastic Marigold shade. Another fan favorite is the pretty silk/cotton Giulia Cami, Yanelis Bralette and Liselott Panty, which would make the perfect bridal set in pristine white.  Of course, the popular Olga bralette from last season is back, as well as the famous patented cotton Y-thong. But she is also experimenting with some new styles and fabrics this year, like silk chiffon and grid gauze in navy, teal and a fantastic kelly green shade called "Fern." My personal favorite is a Japanese print of beautiful Magnolias to tie all the colors together.  Be sure to stop by soon to check them out, and enjoy the Spring lookbook photos below, which were all shot in New York by Araks' personal friends and family....

Stephanie Loungewear


We are so pleased to announce the arrival of the newest addition to the Lille family: Stephanie Loungewear.  A modest, unassuming name for a gorgeous selection of hand-made, vintage-inspired, 100% silk lingerie from the UK.  Stephanie got her start making one-of-a-kind nightgowns and dresses for British brides seeking a truly unique wedding trousseau, and she has since expanded her offerings to include a tightly knit collection each season.  I hope you love it as much as I do!
