STELLA MCCARTNEY TO LAUNCH LINGERIE LINE

WGSN reports today that Stella McCartney is set to design a line of high end lingerie for Bendon, the company that licenses Elle Macpherson Intimates.

"Lingerie is an obsession of mine," McCartney said. "I've been inspired by it for years, and ever since my degree collection at [London fashion college] St Martins, I've used it in my work. This is a natural progression for me."

The lingerie collection will have an emphasis on "naturally sexy, confident and modern designs," the company said. It will come in silk, organic cottons and georgette silk chiffons in a signature Stella McCartney palette of soft shades of vintage pink, cream, blue and pearl grey.
