ASOS Lingerie

ASOS has really upped its game when it comes to lingerie and nightwear. They offer so may different brands at all sorts of price points and their own brand selection is innovative and on trend.


These bodies have some lovely design features; the pink body on the left has multiple rings pilled on top of each other and the caged cup makes the piece a little bit sexier! The cut outs on the black body make it more delicate and breaks up the design. The body on the end also features multiple large rings (I see a trend emerging here!) and the way the straps criss cross over the lays is a nice touch.


These are some of the lingerie sets available on their website. They have really picked up on the strapping trend and have used in in a variety of ways. I think the bra on the left is quite inovative as it has a cut out along the side and an open bridge in the centre. The green set is a bit more simple than others, but the use of a different fabric is refreshing. The two sets on the right are different examples of how they have used caging; one with lace one without.


This is perhaps my favourite set available! I love the grey colour that is not often seen in lingerie and the chunky applique lace is very pretty and shows a transition into future trends.

ASOS really are doing some exciting stuff at the minute, I hope that in the future they expand their sizing ranges so that I can actually buy some of it!

Tisja Damen Design project

The final term at uni is always the best; its sunny, rooftop bars are open and there is only one project to work on. The final project gives you the most design freedom and the time to make it the best project of the year. This term we were tasked with designing ranges that included strapless bras that were functional and innovative. We could pick any brand we wanted to design for as long as our ranges included two strapless pieces.

For my project, I picked the brand Tisja Damen to design for. This brand creates beautiful lingerie made from lace that they source from all around Europe. They think of lingerie as telling a story which is an idea that inspired me in my designs. For each of my ranges I took inspiration from a fairytale.

Debenhams

This term at uni we have been working with Debenhams to design a range of full figure or full busted lingerie. This has been both really exciting and challenging as this is a new area that I had never looked at before. I've had immense fun developing design concepts and creating a new illustration style. Here are the illustrations for my final three ranges:
