New exclusive lingerie collection ‘The Beauty of Nature’ to launch in September.
Luxury lingerie brand Coco de Mer has collaborated with the V&A on a new exclusive collection.
Launching in September, ‘The Beauty of Nature’ will encompass four ranges for autumn/winter 2018.
Coco de Mer has delved into the V&A collections and adapted items such as an English glass and gilt scent bottle from about the 1760s into a delicate golden embroidery, and taken William Morris’ Wreathnet furnishing fabric from 1882 to create a beautiful silk nightwear print.
The four ranges are entitled Golden Heron, Botanical Beauty, Midnight Vine and Signature.
Lauren Sizeland, head of business development and licensing at the V&A, said: ”The V&A and Coco de Mer share a passion for high quality, exquisite design so we were delighted when they approached us about a line of luxury lingerie.
“From the final details and finishes of each item to the product names, we have collaborated with Coco de Mer to make sure that the collection blends the V&A brand handwriting with Coco de Mer’s aesthetics.”
Lucy Litwack, ceo of Coco de Mer, added: “It is an honour to collaborate with the V&A. I have always loved the museum and as two British heritage brands with a passion for beauty we were very well matched. We met and felt that we could develop a lingerie collection that would embody key elements from both of our brands – luxury, opulence and glamour.
“I’m thrilled with how this first collection has materialised – it really is beautiful – and I am excited to be working together on our next collaboration for SS19.”
