White Rabbit's Fall 2016 Collection Is The Affordable & Cute Lingerie Collection Of Your Dreams

Finding cute, comfortable and affordable lingerie can be quite the challenge. Luckily, New York-based brand White Rabbit has stepped up to the plate with its new "Scandinavian Simplicity" lingerie collection for Fall 2016, which features a variety of bras, bralettes and panties that are minimalist, but still functional and fashionable.

After struggling to find quality lingerie at an affordable price point, Maria Hernandez, a bioengineer by training, joined forces with her husband to create White Rabbit Underwear. They decided to focus on creating a product that was not only practical and comfortable, but also one that was sustainable and socially responsible.

"I created White Rabbit as both a quality and affordable under-solution for today's modern woman. The busy girl on-the-go who wants underwear that makes her feel comfortable and empowered for everyday life - whether she’s a student, a consultant, a teacher, mother, yogi, entrepreneur, or otherwise," said Hernandez. "Each piece in this collection was carefully designed to provide beautiful, comfortable options for all of life’s instances."

White Rabbit is also passionate about empowering women, whether it's the women wearing their lingerie or the women creating it. 

"We are very passionate about empowering women, first by helping them be more comfortable in their intimates, and also by helping the advancement of female artisans through our partnership with Fabrica Social," explains Hernandez. "We want to change the conversation from underwear being something we use to please men and rather be something that makes us feel comfortable and confident no matter what the day brings."

White Rabbit's Fall 2016 collection titled "Scandinavian Simplicity" is inspired by a recent trip to Copenhagen and features a variety of basic undergarments that are as soft as they are stylish. 

The collection ranges from $14-$55 and items are now available for pre-order.

Emily Ratajkowski Teases Followers With Steamy Lingerie Selfie

Night 🌙

A photo posted by Emily Ratajkowski (@emrata) on Dec 4, 2016 at 8:43pm PST

Emily Ratajkowski is one of the only Insta-famous models out there who didn't walk in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show this year, but that didn't stop her from slipping into something sexy over the weekend.

On Sunday, Emily decided to take a steamy lingerie selfie and post it to Instagram. "Night 🌙," she wrote alongside the sizzling image, which featured her in a white lacy bodysuit by Gooseberry Intimates that was sheer all over. Her only other accessory: a pair of layered delicate gold necklaces.

But is there more to this picture than meets the eye? Emily's latest lingerie pic comes after news of photographer Jonathan Leder publishing an entire collection of similar shots in book form. According to the New York Post, the book, Leder/Ratajkowski, features 71 explicit photos of Emily taken at a house in Woodstock, New York. The photos were taken in 2012, before her career took off. "We shot for two nights ... Just her and I," Leder reportedly writes in the foreword to the book, before getting even creepier. "She was very, shall we say, comfortable with her body and as far as shoots go, I would say it was fun."

On Nov. 30, Emily tweeted that she initially wanted to stay silent to avoid giving Leder attention, but she had "had enough" and needed to speak out. "The book and the images within them are a violation," she wrote, adding that the photos were initially intended for an "artful magazine shoot" and she didn't give permission for them to be published in a book.

Perhaps by posting more selfies like the one above, Emily's hoping to diminish the value of the book. After all, why buy a book full of sexy Emily pictures when her feed has just the same, if not better, images for free?

Lingerie Brand Gets Intimate In Holiday Messaging Campaign

Agent Provocateur is offering personalization in a feature called 'Ménage à Trois' for couples to speak with an agent and shop over WhatsApp

Messaging apps, such as WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and WeChat are used by billions of people worldwide every day and are cemented as a regular part of a connected life. Brands have been making attempts recently to devise more sophisticated methods to connect with consumers through these messaging platforms. British lingerie retailer Agent Provocateur (AP), that recently launched their ‘Naughty or Nice’ campaign, has debuted a WhatsApp feature called ‘Ménage à Trois’ to allow couples to shop with their AP agents.

The WhatsApp campaign features a dual-sided interactive video that emphasizes the juxtapositions of the advertising. Through a three-way group chat in WhatsApp an AP agent will advise couples whether to choose naughty or nice items from the Agent Provocateur Christmas collection. The goal of the communication is to drive customers to make an in-store purchase by giving personalized advice that suits their personalities.

Agent Provocateur’s innovative campaign is in response to the demand for personalization that consumers are demanding. Worldwide consumers are becoming more comfortable interacting with brands on messaging apps and sophisticated brands know that it is crucial to be where their customers are. With over a billion users, WhatsApp is an incredible source of potential customers for any brand. The messaging app provides a more intimate form of communication that works well with Agent Provocateur’s brand ethos.

While messaging apps present an exciting platform for brands to interact with their audience, the platform does have its downsides with regards to metrics. It is difficult to measure the impact of communications with this channel compared to the rich data you have when dealing with social media metrics. The term ‘dark social’ has been attributed to the difficulty of measuring the impact of campaigns on messaging apps.

The hurdle that Agent Provocateur will need to get over is being able to communicate in a personal and authentic manner to earn the right to share the space on messaging apps that has historically been reserved for friends and family. To join the Ménage à Trois, add the number 07916969690 and an AP Agent will be able available to chat with you and your partner.

Lingerie exhibit reflects sensuality and women's emancipation

Miami â€"  Apart from defining and highlighting the feminine form with sheerness and lace, lingerie over the past century-and-a-half has reflected the social progress of women, who are now much more independent and self-confident.

The "French Lingerie" exhibition starting Wednesday in Miami Beach will feature hundreds of ladies' undergarments, providing evidence that once liberated, literally, from the corsets that constrained them up until the 20th century, women are now using undergarments as an end in themselves and in unanticipated ways.

Up until the late 1980s, women generally selected their lingerie to please their partners, but since then they have grown in self-confidence, acquiring their own autonomy and selecting their lingerie for themselves, the curator of the exposition, Catherine Ormen, told EFE.

During a tour of the exhibit, with pieces ranging from burlesque to minimalist and made of modern fabrics along with the classic cotton and satin, the French fashion historian said that the advances in lingerie doubtless are a reflection of women's "emancipation."

Through the evolving styles of women's undergarments, the exhibition reveals that - quite apart from their original function of providing covering and better hygiene - women are now taking advantage of lingerie to model their figures, but above all to reaffirm them.

Ormen says that the exhibit - which is being held simultaneously with the huge Art Basel Miami Beach art fair opening on Thursday - is a mirror of the "history of femininity," especially the changes in women's morphology and image.

"French Lingerie" will run until Dec. 6 in the public spaces of the Sagamore Hotel, one of the pearls of Miami Beach's Art Deco district, and Ormen went into the archives of 11 prestigious French lingerie brands such as Aubade, Barbara and Lou to select the "treasures" on display.

Along with corsets, brassieres, bodices, garters, thongs and panties, the exposition also features works of art in seduction and eroticism by contemporary artists, including French comic artist Annie Goetzinger, drawings by Margot Van Huijkelon of The Netherlands and Japanese fashion photographs by Yoichiro Sato, among others.
