Naked Princess has been on my radar for a while now, ever since Holly at The Full-Figured Chest mentioned how much she loved her Naked Princess micromodal bodysuit. Naked Princess offers luxury lingerie and loungewear featuring delicate laces, silks, and soft modal. The pieces exude an easy, relaxed sensuousness that could easily transition from everyday wear to special occasions.
Lace and Silk Blindfold by Naked Princess
These pieces look both luxurious, with their French Leavers Lace and silk trims, and comfortable, with their impossibly soft modal knit. Naked Princess also offers some really luscious-looking beauty items like scented boudoir & body candles or body scrubs and lip glosses. I was curious to see how the light, sensual boudoir feel would translate to the runway.
While the runway show ran into some of the same problems as Bradelis’ show the day before (mainly bad music and lack of racial diversity in the cast), mostly it was just BEAUTIFUL. I mean seriously, seriously gorgeous. I wanted to reach out and touch EVERYTHING.
The pieces ran the gamut from lace bralettes and sheer chiffon chemises to sweeping silk gowns and snuggly hooded modal robes. A gorgeously rich palette of cranberry, teal, black, and ivory felt both festive and slightly regal.
Jeez, I loved this piece. I’m on a bodysuit kick lately, and this one is stunning.
I wish I’d had four hands, so I could have taken video simultaneously, because the pieces moved so, so beautifully. That lovely teal blue bodysuit above was not only sexy as all get out, it also looked soft and comfortable. The black silk chiffon chemise below moved like smoke or shadow, and the adorable sheer print romper almost shimmered under the lights.
As much as I love lace and sassy sheer lingerie, once the show moved into the heavy silk pieces and flowing modal, things really kicked into another gear.
I want it.
I really really really want it.
Elegant.
Paging Lady Mary Crawley.
Total vixen.
Jaunty! Dapper! In a totally luscious color.
This is modal and it had the most stunning floating skirt that swirled as she walked and there are these dramatic revealing cutouts and it’s basically a super swanky gown that probably feels like you’re wearing nothing at all and if I owned one I’d never take it off.
I spent most of the show muttering “oh wow” and “well THAT’S gorgeous” and “ooooh I want to touch it” at the woman sitting next to me. The whole collection felt like a really wonderful step forward for the brand. It retains the soft knit fabric and beautiful lace from previous collections, while really kicking things up a notch in terms of shape, color, structure, and sophistication. It’s really hard for me to pick a favorite look, but I think it’s a toss-up between the white gown/long robe look (the robe floated so majestically after her down the aisle– y’all know I love the drama) and the ivory babydoll and tap pant set. The ivory babydoll is a delicious mix of cheeky and elegant, and the gown and robe look effortlessly regal. I hope Naked Princess continues to show their collections at Lingerie Fashion Week– the pieces are lovely in photos, but they are majestic in motion.
