Lingerie seems to be one of the most conservative parts of female clothes. Pants, bras and whatever are slightly prone to “seasonal variations” of designer innovations. At least less than your coat, skirt or jeans. What is the reason?  The main feature of the lingerie is its comfort and functionality. No one will ever exchange comfort for terrible bruises under the breasts, falling shoulder-straps, worn spots and scratches. That’s why even for luxury female underwear there were certain reasonable points which limited designers’ uncontrollable imagination. Still creative approach remains creative to find way out of any hopeless situation.

Cloth is the most favourite platform for designer’s research. We overcome universal admiration of satin, lycra and guipure. There seemed to be the short “fever” of velvet. Since the new millennium begun designers’ point of view became simpler. Several seasons at a row ageing-resistent embroidery keeps the leadership, guipure and lace do as well still in a rather reserve manner. Cotton clothe with small ornaments, French knitted fabric, nice fruit motives as tabs and embroidery are very popular and adequate.

Models

Each season a certain favourite model comes at the edge of the wave. Still without fanaticism for functionality is the ruling aspect. The latest collections do not offer any new ideas. In youth fashion the main accent is made on the functional, comfort, seamless underwear. For those who have some faults to be hidden there is a surprise – a new tendency for lingerie of a more complicated construction, which helps to correct slight defects. Forms and cuts are various and attractive, lines tend to the balkonette fashion.

The greatest surprise of luxury female underwear will be bras, which are to make the breast look a bit bigger. There are special pockets to put in little packs, and balkonette bras will raise breast.

The peculiarity of current seasons is the mixture of 50s, 60s and 80s styles. There are lots of models with corsages and laces- garters within the collections. Frequently such retro style upper part designers suggest combining with open strings.

Colours

Each season bring about a new kind of attraction. Personal preferences however remain but shop windows are swarming with new colours. Purple, lilac and blue these are the main colours suggested by French designers over the latest seasons. Pay attention on the fact that purple while being smooth, with satin glance differs from that very colour in lace variant. Italian designer suggest a bit more reserve clolours range – some sort of ivory.

Large Size Lingerie

It’s one of the most delicate problems and one of the most up-to-date agenda at the same time for such kind of lingerie is under great demand. Today any company tries to enlarge its size stock as much as possible.

Large size lingerie requires special fiber and accessories, properly accounted and balanced constructions, which are due to support any load without hurting woman’s shoulders. There is a new kind of difficulty to find bras for big breasts with small girth under breasts. More interest attracts panache production – its cup changes from size to size according to fullness, which gives itself a more precise fitting.

The other day specialists began to talk about lingerie creation for very-very big ones for example 140 kl. It’s high time probably to imply a new notion – super-large sizes. There are enough such women still we can’t see the very often for they are a bit afraid of going out even to do shopping.  This consumers segment is rather wealthy because they mostly have a high education and prefer to satisfy their need in clothes through the internet.  

Felina Lingerie collection

This company was established in 1885 in Germany and is one of the old-timers in the field. Today this brand is wildly known all over the world.

Felina is one of the greatest lingerie and swimming-suits producer. The peculiarity of the company’s activity is plus size black lingerie production – fashionable, smart and comfortable at the same time, which makes women feel relaxed and free. Some bras articles meet even the size H. the targeted client of feline is women with either standard or special figures. The main aim is functionality, comfort to any size. Tight pants and bodies produce the effect of figure correction.

To make lingerie company uses special materials combinations: light and elastic they do not stretch and are cleaning-proof.  In the majority of models put out by Felina cotton combined with special elastic fiber are used, and it’s done so that only cotton will touch the body. Moisture and air penetrate micro-fiber properly which make the combination of these materials very effective.

The Tendency to Make Lingerie Look More Sexual

Experts admit that this tendency has touched even non-typical kinds of lingerie – plus size black lingerie, night lingerie and bras for big breasts. This trend seems to be rather disputable however for the notion of sexuality tends to vary from country to country and something considered to be erotic in the USA for example will come as a mere pornography in France.

Underwear producers have found a new fast growing market – girls-teens. And sometimes the necessity to follow the latest fashion for such girls becomes an obsession and a kind of adventure. They may buy lingerie not to wear it but to have something to boast about before their friends.

Apparently the lingerie for teenagers - that is popular among this social and age layer differs from those preferred by older generation – spangles, bright colours, sexuality and relaxedness.

And here frequently the question arouses – where there is a line between relaxedness and dissipation?

Odd Tendencies

Producers try to find this bound, which should not be overstepped, themselves. The latest focus-group, hold within American teenagers show that they like some sort of lightness in underwear but completely transparent cloths provokes them to make a fastidious grimace.

Still the sales results display teenagers’ interest to open bras and almost imperceptible panties. Robert Tompson who is devoted to mass culture problems says that it does not increase teenagers’ sexual activities. It’s more like desire to imitate grown-ups’ style somehow resembling carnival.

As the grown-ups’ lingerie evolves from comfort to greater stylishness it’s evident that lingerie for teenagers will follow the same tendency. Moreover the desire to imitate the youth’s idols such as Britney Spears with her tight costumes will contribute to this tendency as well.

It’s worth being admitted that this is not a new trend. At the beginning of the 90s Madonna’ s open and free style makes drought about the dramatic changes to young people clothes style. The latest retro films make superb and exquisite corsets very popular.

Still not all the people admire and appreciate modern fashion tendencies. Some representatives of conservative parties claims that the latest mass media propaganda contributed to the society demoralization which somehow is reflected in clothes and underwear fashion.

Though lingerie producers do not want to come into confrontation with such conservative organizations, claiming that their underwear is made for adults from 18 and upper, they still have to admit that rather a great part of their clients make teenagers. For certain date only 10% of young people prefer traditional style, the rest wear bright and provocative clothes.

Probably the main criteria for young people in the choice of underwear are its origin, designers innovations and discoveries which will help them to stand out of the crowd, to display their personality and to be competitive in the world of loose beauty standards. These are successfully used by lingerie producers to create and to put out new lines of underwear
