Underneat it all – ep 35

   

1. Damaris launched her second line Mimi Holliday by Damaris in 2003, and whilst she incorporates the silk chiffon, lace and ribbon trims, which have become her signature, the pieces are practical enough for everyday wear.

2. La Perla is synonymous with beautifully crafted and sumptuously chic lingerie. Founded in a workshop in Bologna Italy in 1954, Ada Masotti used skilful corsetry and high-quality fabrics to add a new level of glamour to underwear.

3. La Perla – This figure flattering style makes a sensational underpinning for low cut tops. Wear it with its matching brief for a pulled together foundation to your look. Shown here with matching briefs.

Joaquim Verdú 2010 Bridal Collection

      

Verdú was born in Barcelona in 1948. From an early age he felt a particular fascination for the world of art, which led him to combine his university studies with his classes at the Massana School of Fine Arts, where he studied for five years. Later on, his interest in aesthetics led him to study a fashion course at the Feli International Institute.

      

Steal that style: Athina Onassis

Athina Onassis, the shipping heiress, desires nothing more than to “build a family and lead a quiet life” with her new Brazilian husband, according to Valentino Garavani, who designed this ivory gown for her wedding yesterday.

The 20-year-old grand-daughter of Aristotle Onassis, the shipping magnate, was to marry the polo star, Alvaro Alfonso de Miranda, 32, in Sao Paulo last night.

She planned to wear a strapless, full-length hand-stitched Valentino dress, made of glossy and matt silk, embroidered with flowers and a 15ft veil trimmed with ivory Chantilly lace.

Valentino, a veteran designer and family friend, created the white lace dress that Jacqueline Kennedy wore in 1968 when she married Athina’s grandfather.

As the only child of Christina Onassis and her fourth husband, Thierry Roussel, Athina is the sole heir to her grandfather’s £1.6billion fortune. ”I’ve known Athina since she was a child,” said Valentino. “Her greatest wish is to create a happy family with Alvaro, away from intrusive eyes.”
