In honor of the upcoming bridal season, we had to give a mention to Agent Provocateur, whom we visited in the showroom earlier this week. Just last year, the British lingerie brand launched their bridal range with an official (and infamous) send-off from Kate Moss. This season AP named the collection "The Brides Of Uylseess" and featured a whole cast of long-locked models in the campaign. Always brilliant in matters of publicity, AP will be hosting private bridal showers in their stores to celebrate the new collection.

Agent Provocateur Launches Sexy Blog

Just in time for Valentine's Day, Agent Provocateur has launched a blog in which their very own "Olivia" ponders all aspects of lingerie, pop culture, and female sexuality. We have to hand to them, Agent Provocateur is always doing exciting things to promote their brand. Have you seen Pixie Geldof, Alice Dellal, Helena Christensen, and Kate Moss on the product pages? Have you checked out their racy Valentine's Day video starring Rosie Huntington-Whitele? Hear it straight from the press office: "Just like the brand, the blog is about passion and intimacy (which should always be indulged), as well as exploring inner desires and fantasies to enrich your life. Make it your daily guilty pleasure." Blogging just got a whole lot less frumpy.

>> ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL -Agent Provocateur has long gone with Kate Moss as its supermodel staple, but this time, Helena Christensen joins Alice Dellal in the brand's newest "Pirates" range.

Behati Prinsloo Plays "Rich Girl" for The Virgins

>> We've seen Behati Prinsloo in goofy videos for Victoria's Secret PINK, but she's temporarily traded in her silly college girl persona to bring out the seductress for The Virgins's "Rich Girls" video, which dropped online last night. Behati filmed the video in early May at Lit in the East Village, and if there's one thing Victoria's Secret has taught her, it's how to work that lingerie (which is, ironically, Agent Provocateur).

Is Agent Provocateur Adding Another Supermodel Into the Mix?

>> About the "host of British and international beauties" that an Agent Provocateur spokeswoman said would be repping the lingerie's main line come September: former Zac Posen muse Paz de la Huerta (left) and Helena Christensen are rumored to be joining Alice Dellal among the chosen ones.

Kate Moss Still In With Agent Provocateur, Alice Dellal May Be, Too

fashionologie — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 14:01:12 PDT

>> Just a month after Kate Moss' campaign for Agent Provocateur's bridal line debuted, rumors are already floating around that she's been dropped by the brand (again) in favor of London girl-about-town, sometime-Westwood-model Alice Dellal.

Given that Agent Provocateur is constantly surrounded with bubblings about its latest face, it's no surprise that a spokesperson already denied the reports:

Kate has been signed for a one year contract as the face of our bridal collection, White Wedding. We are one month into the campaign and it has proved the most successful campaign we have ever done.

The spokeswoman also revealed, however, that the mainline campaign is already being developed, and will launch in September:

We recently shot a series of images that will feature a whole host of British and international beauties.

Supposedly, the September ads are the ones that Alice will appear in — she's already done a test shoot.

Okay, Valentine's Day Is Tomorrow

coutorture — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 07:38:30 PST

Honestly, we'd like to give this whole February 14th-thing a swift kick in the pants. No, we aren't bitter! It's simply that we like to go out to nice meals and make googly eyes at people and, like any healthy cultural greed, it bothers us when other people do this too. 'Oh, this wine is so nutty', 'Yes, we'd like coffee after our meal', 'Let's go dancing, why not?'. 'But only on this special day!' Anyway, perhaps you need a break from fashion week (year?) and our Bubsy wearing expensive jewels. Perhaps you do like to get pumped on V-Day. Well, our network is definitely on the case.
Style Bakery features a Bobbi Brown pink raspberry face palate that, damn, we think would be pretty any time of the year. I Am Fashion runs down what to get your girl friends for what we suspect would make the perfect night in (aside from a male prostitute and an Ambien!) and The Scented Salamandar gives us her educated opinion on Agent Provocateur's scented massage oil.

Frida Giannini Loves Her Some Hot Dogs

fashionologie — Mon, 24 Jan 2011 14:39:44 PST

>> It's no secret that Gucci creative director Frida Giannini likes Rome, where she grew up, and music from the likes of Prince, Madonna, and Franz Ferdinand. Those are two of the twelve things she tells Elle Decor's February/March 2011 issue (out Feb. 8) she can't live without . . . but what about some of the less obvious things she listed? Among them: the seaside ("When I want to escape, I take my German shepherd, Gunner IV, and go to my beach house in Sabaudia, an hour from Rome"); hot dogs in Central Park ("I can eat four at a time, with lots of ketchup"); Agent Provocateur lingerie ("I wear a lot of black, which can look severe. Lingerie lets me play with my secret side"); pilates ("I do it early in the morning; I feel less guilty for the rest of the day"); and pasta with fresh tomatoes ("Don't forget the basil. So good and so healthy").
