Heather Thomson - From Diddy to JLo to Beyonce to Shapewear

Filed under: Swimwear and Lingerie, Celebrities with Style, Interviews

Stylelist has an exclusive interview with celebrity designer Heather Thomson, creator of the popular -- and comfortable and effective -- Yummie Tummie shapewear top. She's also the former creative director for Beyoncé's House of Deréon, and designer for Diddy's award-winning Sean Jean menswear line. Heather's accomplishments also include helping Jennifer Lopez create the Sweetface line.

Heather dished with StyleList about her time working with celebrity designers, as well as her latest creation, the RIPT Fusion– pronounced "Rip Tee" – a line of compression shirts for men who want fashionable core support. And she even gave us a sneak peak at the Yummie Tummie Fall collection, which includes some of the sexiest shapewear we've ever seen!

We love our Yummie Tummies! Tell us about the new collection:
Since we launched a little more than a year ago, we've been building on the basics from the first collection. In the spring we added some great hot weather looks, including the Bare Back, a halter style. Our fall collection will add even more versatility – and sex appeal!

Just in time for a long, lazy summer weekend with all-day beach time, coconut-scented sunblock and umbrella drinks (a girl can dream!) is 3.1 Phillip Lim Swim.

Earlier this year, Lim announced the expansion of his American sportswear line, with the addition of shoes, lingerie and swimwear.

The swim pieces are available now, so prepare to make a sophisticated splash in one of the designer's three country girl-meets-Hamptonite options (one-piece halter shown right). And, yes, there's a bikini in the collection!

Look for fall shoes to come ashore in July.

Would You Call This Model's Body "Normal?"

Filed under: Celebrities with Style

Despite being the über-privileged child of a UK rock star and 20-year-old author of her very own column in Nylon magazine, Peaches Geldof wants you to know that she's just like you and me.

Okay, at least in terms of physique.

Peaches Geldof, Lingerie Model

    Peaches debuts new lingerie from Miss Ultimo. Loving the pink motorcycle gloves.

    No razor-sharp hipbones here, thankyouverymuch.

    Presumably, Peaches eats lots of food, yet pulls off very little clothes.

    Peaches shows off her killer body and some serious tattoos, most notably an impressive daisy chain that runs from her thighs to arms.



As the new face -- and body -- for Miss Ultimo lingerie, she said, "I'd rather young girls were looking at a normal body like mine rather than an anorexic model."

Uh, is anyone else seeing what's wrong with this picture?

When I see Geldorf's slim-yet-curvy body, "normal" isn't the first word that springs into my mind. "Enviable" and "smoking," yes. Especially in that vintage-y lingerie. (And good news: if you won't be popping round to a Debenhams in the UK, where they stock the stuff, you can have the fun lingerie sent to the US via the brand's website, missultimo.com.)

Undies That Reduce Cellulite - Too Good to be True?

Filed under: Swimwear and Lingerie

Want to reduce cellulite, but tired of rubbing all of those lotions and serums onto your backside? Take heart -- there's a new product out there that could be the answer to your anti-cellulite prayers (What? You don't pray about that?). Beginning today, John Lewis is carrying a line of undergarments that have been shown to reduce cellulite in 80 percent of women. Seriously, all you have to do is wear them -- it doesn't get much easier, folks.

The Scala Bio Fir Anti-Cellulite lingerie is available in stores (you can look online, but as this post is being written, all styles are out of stock). John Lewis feels confident in the line -- it did its own research, letting 50 women wear the underwear six hours a day for 30 days, finding an 80 percent success rate. The store's lingerie buyer, Helen Spencer, said,

"We are approached very regularly with products promising the kind of results women want, but which haven't stood up to scrutiny. This is where Scala's range is different -- it does exactly what it says on the tin."

Meet Sara Blakely, the Woman All Females Should Thank

Filed under: Interviews

While Spanx needs no introduction to the female population, what about the mastermind behind the booty-shaping brand? Enter Sara Blakely, a former fax and copy machine salesperson/stand-up comedian, who founded the company nine years ago. The 38-year-old entrepreneur was at the Saks Fifth Avenue flagship on Thursday to show off her new Haute Contour collection -- a fancier lingerie-inspired line that makes the idea of wearing a girdle go down a little bit easier.

Lingerie Models Brave the Cold

Filed under: Runway Trends, Swimwear and Lingerie

Lingerie models at fashion show in china

We aren't sure why the organizers of this lingerie fashion show in Wuhan, China, decided to hold it outdoors, in March. But wowza, these half-naked models look cold!

Check out the gloomy white sky. And the turtlenecks, scarves, and wool coats on all the pervy guys in the audience, who we suspect are there to see the ladies in the underwear, rather than the bras, panties and lacy camisoles themselves.

But hey, we could be wrong. (Even though we know we're not.)

The models are impressive. They are acting like it's perfectly normal to walk around on a damp, cold March afternoon, wearing lacy gloves, support hose and heels. Bravo to them, and for their sakes we hope the next show will be held indoors!

Whether you're a size 2 or a size 18, it doesn't matter what you're wearing if you're uncomfortable in it -- in the famous words of RuPaul, you'd better work it, girl!

The Right Strapless Bra for Under That Sexy V-Day Dress

Filed under: Swimwear and Lingerie

va bien strapless bra
Most of us don't have all that many opportunities to wear a sexy, strapless dress (contrary to popular belief, fashion bloggers don't wear party dresses and stilettos everywhere). But, Valentine's Day presents all of us a chance to really glam it up, and that means you'd better have the right bra.

Ginch Gonch Puts The Fun Back Into Boom Chicka Bow

Filed under: Swimwear and Lingerie, Men, Gift Guides


Maybe the pressure to be romantic and übersexy on Valentine's day is getting to you; or maybe you and your honey wholeheartedly embrace the tacky fun of candy hearts and cupids -- whatever your reason, we bet the "Heart On" collection (get it?) by Ginch Gonch will be irresistible.

Ginch Gonch
rebels against the boring, uninspired underwear men have been forced (forced!) to endure for eons -- their mix of humor and sexuality is certainly apparent in their tag line "Regardless of your inches, we cover you in our Ginches!" -- it comes as no surprise that Ashton Kutcher is a fan.

The men's collection consists of sports briefs, low risers (AKA tightie whities) and jockstraps emblazoned with hearts and lips across the interesting parts. With names like "Heart as Rock" and "Lip Reader" the underwear manages to be cheeky without crossing the line to tasteless. The women's collection is cute and comfy (read: No lace thongs here!) and utterly adorable. Take a look at our gallery to see what we mean:

Leonardo DiCaprio's Girlfriend Poses for Lingerie Campaign

Celebrity Fashion Ads

    Bar Rafaeli, Leonardo DiCaprio's stunning model girlfriend, is the face of British retailer Marks & Spencer's new lingerie line.

    Pam Anderson's new campaign for Vivienne Westwood is surprisingly hot. The blonde bombshell and her heaving, inflated bosoms aren't usually found in fashion mags -- but the quirky combo of Playboy centerfold and designer threads seems to work.

    Katie and Posh's Dueling Ads
    We know it's tough to tell the difference, but that's Katie Holmes on the left for Miu Miu and Victoria Beckham baring (nearly) all for Giorgio Armani. The campaigns launched within days of one another -- so the question is: who's hotter?

    Miu Miu/Armani

    Madonna for Louis Vuitton
    Anyone else tired of the trademark Madonna crotch shot?

    Kirsten Dunst for Miu Miu
    We prefer Katie Holmes, hands down.

Israeli model Bar Rafaeli, whom Leonardo DiCaprio met at a party in 2005, will be stripping down to her skivvies in an ad for British retailer Marks & Spencer. A spokesman for the brand claims that "Bar has the perfect qualities to show M&S's Valentine lingerie at its best." We couldn't agree more.

Now we know what Leo is getting for Valentines Day, but what's next for Bar? According to the M&S spokesman, the model will be making more scantily-clad ads for the clothing giant -- next time donning teeny bikinis for the store's summer line.
