As reported in the last day or so on the Designers Against Aids website - The DAA team just returned from Paris where we launched the second 'Fashion against AIDS' collection together with H&M and lingerie DIVA Dita Von Teese (one of the participating designers), who also premièred her new show there at Le New VIP Room.
Creative director Javier Barcala and yours truly posed with Dita on the red carpet, enjoyed a marvellous fashion show presented by the even more marvellous André J -who had the audience eating out of his manicured hands- and countless glasses of Moët & Chandon champagne, watched celebs such as Lionel Richie and Green Day, spoke to the French press, watched Dita shake her beautiful tail feathers in an amazing cage and danced and talked until the sun came up again.

An Overview Of The Corset
A corset is a garment worn to both mold and shape the body into a desired shape for fashion purposes and sometimes for medical purposes. Throughout history it has been known for both men and women to wear corsets, though today women are more common wearers.
In recent years, the term "corset" has also been borrowed by the fashion industry (specifically the lingerie industry) to refer to tops which, to varying degrees copy the look of traditional historical corsets without actually acting as one. While these modern "corsets" and "corset tops" often feature lacing and/or boning and generally mimic a historical style of corsets, they have very little if any effect on the shape of the wearer's body (as described above). Genuine corsets are usually made by a by a highly skilled corset-maker and should ideally be fitted especially for the individual wearer and not be purchased 'off the peg'. Bespoke corsets by their very nature are far more expensive than a mass produced corset.
The word corset is derived from the Old French word 'cors', the diminutive of body, which itself derives from 'corpus' - Latin for body. This reflecting the garments original purpose in shaping the body
The word corset actually came into general use in the English language in around 1785. The word was used in popular publication "The Ladies Magazine" to describe a "quilted waistcoat" called un corset by the French. The word was used to differentiate the lighter corset from the heavier stays of the period. Whilst the garment itself has changed in terms of use and purpose the name has remained the same.
The most common and well-known use for a corset is to slim the body and make it conform to a fashionable silhouette. For women this most frequently emphasizes a curvy figure, by reducing the waist, and thereby exaggerating the bust and hips. We we talk about a specific shape achieved by wearing a corset this is the shape that we tend to think about. However, in some fashion periods, corsets have been worn to achieve an almost tubular straight-up-and-down shape, which involved minimizing the bust and hips. This was in a period when a 'boy-ish' look was popular.
For men, corsets are more customarily used to slim the figure. However, there was a period from around 1820 to 1835 when an hourglass figure (a small, nipped-in look to the waist) was also desirable for men; this was sometimes achieved by the wearing a male corset. In modern times corsets are only worn by men for medical purposes
An over-bust corset encloses the torso, extending from just under the arms to the hips. An under-bust corset begins just under the breasts and extends down to the hips. Some corsets extend over the hips and, in very rare instances, some corsets have been know reach the knees . A shorter kind of corset, which covers the waist area (from low on the ribs to just above the hips), is called a 'waist cincher'. A corset may also include suspenders to hold up stockings (alternatively a separate suspender belt may be worn for that).
Normally a corset supports the visible dress, and spreads the pressure from large dresses, such as the crinoline and bustle. Sometimes a corset cover is used to protect outer clothes from the corset and to smooth the lines of the corset.

Sexy Lingerie On The IPhone
I came across this interesting article in a science and telecoms journal. Last month, Sookie Solutions got the bad news that its iPhone app, Peekababe, was getting rejected from the App Store. The reason? Excessive sexual content. Well today, it’s here, sexy as ever. Here’s the gist: The app features pictures of several women wearing clothes. You can swipe from side to side to get different women/clothes combinations. But if you touch the screen, those clothes magically dissolve leaving you with a sexy lingerie clad lady. You can then set these girls as your wallpaper.

So why did Apple approve the app this time? Well it may be because Sookie now includes a 12+ rating for it. “My rating was based on the guidelines that they have for the iTunes store. Better to be safe than sorry,” Bigio says. There is also a clear note saying that it does not contain any nude or pornographic pictures. 12+ is kind of funny though. Something tells me a lot of parents wouldn’t want their 12-year-old playing with this app.
There have been plenty of other “sexy” apps that have appeared the App Store over time, including iStrip, MagicPen, Wobble and Bikini Babes. But Peekababe seems to have the clearest images and is definitely one of the most blatantly sexual yet. And watch out, because in the next version, you’ll get a sexy cowgirl, a hot nurse, and “many more babes too!,” the app promises."100's millions of dollars in research and development and we just end up with another way to repetitive strain injury !!!" commented Julie Holloway Director Feeling Sexy Lingerie ..
