Alice Temperley adds lingerie and loungewear to her Somerset collection at John Lewis
Alice Temperley adds lingerie and loungewear to her Somerset collection at John Lewis.
The British designer's first foray into lingerie - ever - will debut in October, when the new 23-piece collection for her Somerset range at John Lewis hits stores. And it sure is enticing.
The gorgeous new line features boudoir-ready kimono-style dressing gowns, cashmere robes, YSL's Le Smoking-inspired pyjama sets, sexy silky shorts and cami sets and eyelash-lace trimmed bras and knickers, in Old Hollywood glamour girl balconette silhouettes and a soft Eastern-inspired 'Night Floral' print.
The collection also includes gift items like a silk eye mask that's sure to tempt party girls and jet-set travellers.
'Lingerie is my next love after clothing; I think it is what is worn underneath that really inspires a woman to feel beautiful in her clothes – that inner, secret glamour,' Temperley says of the new collection.
'We know that the Somerset woman values beautiful fabric and detail, so I was really happy with the print and lace we have brought into the designs, all in a luxurious silk for an amazing price.
'It was also fun to play with the sleepwear; the tux is especially nostalgic of the black and white Ginger Rogers movies of my childhood.'
Somerset by Alice Temperley lingerie retails from £15 and hits John Lewis on 1 October. Race you there!
