THE BEST OF INTIMA – BIANNUAL – JULY 2008 - (Page 70)

Launching Captivated by Hale Bob Intimate Hale Bob Intimate hits the markets this summer with the launch of the intimate apparel brand and collections designed by Adi Mail and Annie Chang for Daniel Bohbot, whose apparel brand is a favorite among west coast celebrities. Like Hale Bob Apparel, Hale Bob Intimate is a print-driven brand, with contemporary prints ranging from flirty and feminine to bold and striking. Saint Tropez, the S/S 09 collection draws its muse from the playground of the bold and the beautiful. The lingerie and loungewear is inspired by the colors of the St. Tropez flea markets, the serenity at La Maison des Papillons Museum and sensual scents of local cafés. The collection includes panties bras, camisoles and chemises as well as babydolls, sleepshirts, pajamas and robes, all interpreted with a vibrant edge to recreate the sexy sensation of vacation for every woman. The color stories are inspired by the French Riviera with bold pinks being key alongside bright blues and greens in floral or striking geometric prints. And in keeping with the Hale Bob style all fabrics are top class pairing sophistication with comfort. Body-Shaping Swimwear by Niki For Spring 2009, Made by Niki extends its internationally renowned Fresh Foundations collection of luxury body-shaping lingerie, by adding new swimwear options that lift, cinch, flatten and flatter women's natural curves. 'Slimwear' is a natural progression for Made by Niki, whose mission is to make women feel and look fantastic in garments that combine function and fashion like no other brand. "Many women feel self conscious on the beach, and don't want to bare all their bits" says Niki. "Our swimwear features highwaisted shorts, supportive plunge and wireless bra tops in sizes up to GCup, and clever cover-ups for women who want to look chic at the beach, the bar or the shops." Niki's SS09 collection features six body-shaping colorways and four new Limited Editions including 'Licorice,' 'Powder', 'NightShock' and 'Chilli-Chocolate', combining sensible staples with fruity brights for a range that provides options for daywear, occasion wear, brides, valentines and fashionistas.
