Haute Contour offers shape-conscious lingerie-lovers another season of decadence

 

16 September 2010, Atlanta, GA - This fall Haute Contour, the sexy, lingerie-inspired shapewear by Spanx, delivers haute-ness once again. Fresh, figure-enhancing silhouettes are supremely stylish and equally slimming thanks to innovative designs and flawless functionality. Fondly known as the Dessert of Shapewear™, indulge in this collection of sumptuous styles this season and be among the women who have their shape and sexy too. HC

 “To me, fall is the most fashionable season of all…and thanks to Haute Contour I can wear the latest trends, while being shaped at the same time,” said Spanx founder Sara Blakely. “Each piece is a shapewear solution that’s meant to be seen… now that’s what I call ooh-la-la innovation!”

 Drawing inspiration from the Fall 2010 runways, this season’s collection offers on-trend looks for women who want to be stylishly shaped. Each piece, while meant to be seen, can be worn as lingerie in the bedroom, as a slimming underpinning, or as a stand-alone stunner.

Details, details! That’s what fall is about according to the sashaying models of Givenchy, Miu Miu, and Dior. From sheer styles that show slivers of skin to lovely romantic touches and trims, women can achieve these top trends while staying shaped and supported thanks to Haute Contour.

 The Alluring V-Neck Camisole ($128, S-XL, Blush and Pitch) and Simply Chic Camisole ($128, S-XL, Blush and Pitch) feature luxurious shaping microfiber that trims the torso and a stunning sheer overlay at the shoulders. The Sexy Twist Camisole ($148, S-XL, Pitch and Deep Plum) and Lovely Lace Thong ($88, S-XL, Blush, Pitch and Deep Plum) each feature feminine accents that highlight the décolletage and waistline respectively.

 Designers went mad for fifties-inspired looks this fall, thanks in part to the popularity of Mad Men. Cleavage and cinched-at-the-waist pencil skirts are top fall trends. Curvy catwalkers and fashionistas alike can achieve the look with Haute Contour’s stunning bustier-style Captivating Slip ($178, S-XL, Blush and Pitch) and vintage-inspired bottom, Sexy Sheer High Mid-Thigh ($148, S-XL, Blush and Pitch).

 For those who prefer a timeless treat, silhouettes in classic nude (Haute Contour’s basic Blush) are surefire show-stoppers. Designers such as Valentino and Chloe agree that this reliable neutral offers a subtly serene look. With silky shaping microfiber that smoothes and flattens the stomach, the modern Sleek Chic Bodysuit in Blush ($168, S-XL, also in Pitch) is eye-catching, effortless and, thanks to removable shoulder pads, edgy!

Ten years ago, Sara Blakely began her mission to make the world a better place, one butt at a time. A frustrated (yet fashionable) consumer-turned-entrepreneur, Sara reinvented shapewear with innovative designs and smart features and won the hearts of fashion-loving women, from Oprah Winfrey to Gwyneth Paltrow. Obsessed with creating comfortable garments that minimize figure flaws, Sara has helped create more than 200 problem-solving products and recently entered the bra business with the ground-breaking Bra-llelujah! In 2006 Sara brought her shapewear know-how to more women with the national launch of ASSETS, a new collection of shapewear and legwear designed to help women achieve their own red carpet look for less. Continuing to raise the bar with innovative products women want, in 2009 Sara launched Haute Contour, a lingerie-inspired collection known as the dessert of shapewear. Today, after many years of demand, Spanx brings their industry expertise to the pool and the beach with swimwear and to men with a redefined cotton compression undershirt.

Design concept

The colour concept of the ESS Apparel and Underwear Collection expresses the bicoloured melange of all product groups. Vivid Cranberry and Fuego will be combined with classic black and warm natural colours like Hortensia and Trueblue are ideal with Graphite and Sailor. Dragonfly and Sailor as well as Steel and Graphite set a hibernal, dynamic accent.

Apparel SNOW - new Tech-Shirt with Outlast®

The new Second Layer Finja/Malte is the highlight of the Apparel SNOW Collection - an innovative Tech Shirt, for the first time completely made of Outlast®. This material originally developed for aerospace is able to absorb excess body heat generated during physical activity, distribute it inside the fabric and, when needed, return it to the body once again. This principal is based on microencapsulation technology. Microscopically tiny capsules are deposited in the fibres. The microcapsules contain paraffin-like substances that are subsequently able to change their physical state. As soon as the body temperature is lower than the Outlast® layer, the stored heat is returned to the body. This change takes place within a temperature range that corresponds to the ideal skin temperature.

The skin's microclimate is constantly held in proper balance, thereby decisively improving general well-being during sports activities. A comfortable side effect is the reduction in sweat production Outlast® feels soft and warm.

The seamless processing prevents chafing for optimal freedom of movement. The discrete rib structure as well as mesh zones in the arm, stomach and back area ensure optimal heat management and the volume structures on shoulders a sportive-dynamic design. Finja/Malte can be perfectly worn under bodycontoured jackets thanks to its cut.

Yoga/Fitness - smooth transition to sportive lifestyle

The Yoga/Fitness range successfully launched in Spring/Summer 2008 will be expanded in the forthcoming Fall/Winter season. In order to better meet the different trends in Yoga, Dance and Fitness, FALKE will complement its range by four shirts, two pants and a stretch jacket featuring ingenious drapings, layerings and flounces. The new styles perfectly combine traditional Asian accents with lifestyle elements of western modern trends. The environmentally-friendly bamboo materials are antibacterial and ensure excellent moisture management thanks to high absorption.

Urban Outdoor - Sports style with functionality

The innovative Urban Outdoor Collection combining urban casual wear with functional sports clothing, features new winter polos in seamless technology with mesh zones on the collar, back and side. Seamless processing provides optimal freedom of movement and Ventcool ensures optimal moisture management. Also new to the range: the quilted Cairns jacket available for women and men sets fresh accents with its colour-contrasting lining. The soft 2- way stretch and napped pants Hobart are also available as trendy stretch pants for women and as retro-knickerbockers for men. The pants Houston are perfect for activities in cool temperatures and ensure comfortable wear thanks to the napped inside and the pre-shaped knee area.

Urban Underwear is complemented by a classic, comfortable business singlet in the women's and in the men's range.

Running - wind and water-repellent jackets for extreme temperatures

Following the great success of the entire Active Sports range which was recognised in 2007 with the Design Award of the Federal Republic of Germany, FALKE Ergonomic Sport System continues to focus on innovative running products combining high-tech functionality and attractive design. The seamless Running Shirts for women and men provide optimal moisture management and rapid drying thanks to the Ventcool material. Ventilating mesh inserts at the side and back are ideal in sports activities.

The special material combination is characterised by silky touch and soft, pleasant wear. Additional styles feature trendy functional details such as reflective stripes and logos on front and reverse or on sleeves. With the Cleveland model the Apparel Running Collection presents for the first time a thin membrane padded jacket which also features FALKE standards like reflective prints, drawstrings at the seam and a zip pouch in addition to wind and water-repellent properties in a trendy design. Erie, a new softshell jacket is also wind and water-repellent and additionally offers star-shaped ventilators as well as taped reflectors.

In the pants range, new accents are set with design elements like seams in contrasting colours. Moreover, the focus is on standards like taped reflectors, integrated mesh structures with coloured flatlock contour and waists with drawstring.

ESS Underwear Comfort Light - the perfect climate control throughout the year

Comfort Light features an entirely new attractive design - the functional allseason underwear from FALKE ERGONOMIC SPORT SYSTEM. The loose piquéweave cut and the new material blend ensures a push-pull effect and thus rapid moisture evaporation and a comfortable wear. The garments fit particularly comfortably to the body thanks to the additional Lycra content. This prevents crease formation, particularly around the ankles and when walking. A new V-Neck longsleeved shirt complements the line. The functional Underwear Collection, hitherto only available in two basic colours, now offers trendy colours and can be perfectly combined with the Second and Third Layer FALKE ESS ranges.

 

lingerie

Autumn is on the run and that means rain, rain, and rain again. I really hate it when the days are getting darker and darker. But it is not just the weather which is frustrating it is also the fact that I have to change my styling. I really love wearing dresses and skirts. For me that kind of clothing stands for pure femininity. Of course it is possible to wear dresses and skirts also in autumn and winter. But getting dressed feminine in those times is much more cumbersome than in spring or winter. You need warm tights, lined boots and sometimes also additional legwarmers. Yes, legwarmers. Normally just dancers wear them but in combination with tights they really look great. Autumn is legwarmer time!

Women have two possibilities to cover their legs. They can wear a tight or also known as pantyhose or the can wear stockings. In case of stockings you have two options: stay up stockings and normal stocking where an additional suspender band is needed. Tights as well as stockings are mainly nylon and in both cases you can choose between a huge variety of styles and colors. What are the advantages of stockings and what are those of tights? Stockings are often considered to be more aesthetically or sexually attractive than tights.  But it is also often said that stay up stockings are not that practical because they easily slip. Good stay up stockings normally have special silicone coating to prevent slipping, but of course stockings have to be adjusted more than tights.  In winter or at cold and rainy days tights are better, because they cover your whole legs but stockings don’t.  Maybe it’s just a matter of taste if you prefer stockings or tights.
