WHOOOOOOOOOSH, aaaaaaaand STOP! Skidding right in to the very top of the blog spot with this one – just in the 'knicker' of time for those last minute Christmas stocking fillers.
This one is for my friend Su (no, I haven't forgotten the 'e'). I know she will appreciate my efforts. And possibly, her Northern friend too? :]
Lights, camera, action, and roll……….
Love My Dress is proud to present to you Fred & Ginger, purveyors of intimate apparel, for men and women (hide all the children!!)…

This lovely, luscious and luxurious selection of lingerie has been created by designer Victoria Holt, of the fabulous label, Fred & Ginger. You'll be dancing on air with her divine designs.
Victoria has been working in the fashion industry for many years and has enjoyed great acknowledgement as senior designer for the international fashion house, Jenny Packham (I heart heart HEART Jenny Packham – see my wedding dress).
Taking inspiration from vintage (think old fashioned romance and raunchy), Fred & Ginger focus on the glamour and sophistication of the 50's. Traditional and modern are combined, using luxurious French silk satins, crinkle chiffons, Chantilly lace and embellished with the most stunning of Swarovski crystals.

The men’s unique underwear collection uses French silks, the finest of English cottons, and Swiss jerseys; filling a niche in the market for high quality underwear where shape, fit, modern design and detailing are paramount. Once again the colour and design influences for this season compliment Fred & Ginger's fine lingerie/negligee collection. Choose from cotton boxer shorts, low and high-rise jersey briefs, and shorts.
I love these Dita Von Teese-esque images from the Black Label collection…

…….Jeez, Loooouise!
Is that super sassy sexy gorgoeus or what?!?
For Autumn/Winter 2009/10, Fred and Ginger will be using subtle tones of slate grey and Indian pink mixed with aubergine, lilac grey and blacks (I have a friend in mind as I read this……A?), create a collection that will take you deep into Vietnam travelling along the Mekong Delta, where water and earth are intricately interlaced catching glimpses of bamboo trees, fishing boats and paddy fields in the bespoke print for this season.
Oh my my…..where's my fan? I need to go lie down!
But before i do, here is a fave of mine. And you really had better check that the little darlings are not too near the computer screen right now.
I did warn you……
The complete Fred & Ginger collection is designed in London and, manufactured in the UK to the highest standards and quality and can be purchased from these boutique stockists, or purchased online at Belle Lamour.
I love.
Let me rephrase that.
J'ADORE…
More please Fred and Ginger, more, more and more……….
Oh, and thank you to Kate, for sharing with me all her Vintage Secret's – you are adored and loved already, did ya know? Mwah xXx
