La Perla S/S 2014

La Perla may be a couture lingerie brand, but their items are often worn by celebrities in music videos (Jessie J's leggings in "Nobody's Perfect"), performances (Beyonce's bodysuit at the 2014 Grammys) and even on the red carpet (Rihanna @ Pepsi bash). Attesting to the brand's great sense of style.

For everyone else, La Perla also makes swimwear. Afterall, how many of us can actually afford to wear $1,000 undies.

Models Liu Wen, Cara Delevingne and Malgosia Bela pose for Mert & Marcus, styling by Ludivine Poiblanc.

 The collection is said to be inspired by the rich beauty of palaces in Rajasthan a haute vacation destination for the wealthy. So the pieces re-intepret the sensual elegance of clothes worn by Indian women.

There is also a continuation of a current trend - clean straight lines. Very neat and orderly, quite unusual for underwear to take on this look as we often see lace and soft fluidity. I think it looks very business-like.

And the brand also encourages these pieces to be worn out in the day or evening. Coz it's just too beautiful not be seen. Just make sure you're properly covered in all the right places.

I think it's still acceptable, most clothes these days have a similar look and are just as translucent too. It's all about how you style yourself.
