After releasing a quite provocative, breast-filled short film last week, Agent Provocateur has
launched their Soirée collection online. The brand's creative director, Sarah Shotton, describes the new line as “ultraluxurious” and more about “dressing up [and] a lot of embellishment[s].” The embellishments — and lavish fabrics, for that matter — include Napa Leather, Swarovski crystals, and … you name it! But, as we all know, beauty comes at a cost — and this one is pretty steep. With “knickers” starting at $312 and ranging all the way up to $24,000 (which are actually only available in London, so factor in that plane ticket, too!), you will definitely feel the price of these boudoir beauties.
Shocked? Don’t be. According to Shotton, there are loyal clients in places where the line is most popular — think the Middle East and Russia — and they are willing to spend upwards of $30,000 in a single visit. With things like the Olson twins' leather backpack on sale (and selling out) for nearly $40,000, there's definitely a market for luxurious lingerie.
Will a lavish Soirée piece grace your wish list this year?
