FOR THAT SPECIAL EVENING OR NAUGHTY WEEK-
END, LOOK AND FEEL ULTIMATELY SEXY IN SILKY
AND VINTAGE LUXURIOUS LINGERIE BY AYTEN
GASSON. AMANDA BLAKE FINDS OUT MORE.
W
hen it comes to lingerie, you’ll want something that will
make you feel a little bit different and sexy for that special
occasion. Sometimes the choices can be quite limited, the
designs on offer are often either purely functional or just
too impractical. With her new collection, up and coming
designer and Central Saint Martin’s graduate,Ayten Gasson,
has produced a wide range of beautiful, elegant and feminine pieces in hand-made British
pure silk with lace trims. Several of the trims which she uses are sourced from local mills
in Nottingham, and produced using traditional methods. All her pieces are hand-made
in the United Kingdom and offer the look and appeal of vintage designs, yet with the
feeling that each piece was made for you personally.The delicate lace and trims also tie
in perfectly with this season’s resurgence in its popularity, seen on catwalks ranging from
Alberta Ferretti and Dolce and Gabbana to Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen. So
while treating yourself, you’re also staying fashionably on trend and helping to support
the economy. Sounds just perfect to me.
