The fashions to come:

The Darling Buds of May
The audience sipped tea and fancies as the Bridgette Bardot-esque models paraded through a flower-garlanded arch in the Secret Garden like gorgeous blooms in confections of lace, satin and cotton lingerie. The girls showed the Summer 04 collections from Bendon Lingerie, Elle Macpherson Intimates, Fayreform and hey sister!

Lingerie Trends
There are four themes in the lingerie industry, taken from fashion trends; from Asian influences on the catwalk, to Lord of the Rings; and talking to women about their needs and wants.

1. Nostalgia
Victoriana; the retro woman featuring trims and pretty shoulder strap detailing with 1920s as the decade of influence; when Vogue was launched and cosmetics and beauty became a huge industry. King Tut’s tomb was discovered so Egyptian themes became popular seen here in emerald jewelled colours.

2. Black
Always a monumental theme. Very important. Also seen in black sheer pieces backed with other colours showing through.

3.Gothic
Mesh fabrics to look like fish-nets. Biker babes, rock grrrls.

4.You!
Being yourself and being comfortable. Working with the new technical fabrics and knowing how they fit and work ergonomically for your body.
