I was looking for an especially nice photo for this post not only for Valentines Week, but also because this happens to be the 1000th post of frankufotosLingerie. My girlfriend and I went through more than 100 finalists, narrowed from many more candidates, so I hope it strikes the same chord for you as it did for us. Thanks for supporting the blog for over four years by your readership and comments; it's appreciated.

Black Friday 2010: Fred & Ginger

Lingerie, underwear, Fred and Ginger, Black Label, black, balconette, bra, Beau, side-tie, knickers, panties, Black Friday, fufL,

Black Friday has arrived once again. Aside from the crowds, sales and traffic, it serves as our annual (great!) excuse to highlight some fantastic black lingerie, such as this Black Label balconette bra and these Beau side-tie silk and chiffon panties - OK, knickers - from London's Fred & Ginger. Does anyone know if they have Black Friday in the U.K.? If not, maybe after this they may reconsider..

Caroline Winberg in Blanco

The lovely willow that is Caroline Winberg is the face and body of Blanco's Imprimir 2010 Fall/Winter Collection, photographed by Hunter & Gatti. They all have down some great modeling, design and photography before, but this collection and campaign, especially the black and white stills, are really amazing.

Anything But 'Hopeless' - Happy Hunting

Lingerie, underwear, Hopeless, The Hunted, Lulu Wagstaffe, black, silk, Cheryl, bra, Sophie, knickers, panties, candles,

Unless they mean as in hopelessly beautiful, the small, hand-crafted lingerie maker from Melbourne Australia may be misnamed. Hopeless has made some of the more imaginative lingerie you'll find since sisters Gabrielle and Dominique Adamidis founded the label in August 2008. The above Cheryl black silk bra and silk knickers (amazing how much classier the term 'knickers' sounds while writing about this label) are from their new collection, or range as they call it, The Hunted.

You and I may find our inspiration in many places, but believe it or not, as explained in their wonderful blog, Spokes and Daggers, designer Gabrielle's inspiration for the collection came from director Sam Raimi's 'Evil Dead' and 'Evil Dead 2'
'I took inspiration from the evil force that races through the forest, the wood grain of the haunted log cabin and of buckets of blood featured in the films. These ideas were subtly woven into every piece - to create a collection that was both haunting and beautiful.'
Umm.. OK, the lingerie is beautifully done, it works, so who am I to argue? It also explains why the pieces in the set had to be named Ashley, Cheryl and Linda..

I've been a fan of the brand since I first discovered their blog, and not that the other ranges weren't well down, but this one strikes both my girlfriend and I as their best yet. The only downsides? True, a bit pricey, but do you really expect originally designed hand-made silk lingerie for the price of a five-pack of panties at Wallyword or even Vicky's? Didn't think so. Also, it's not for day-to-day wear. However, if you're into building a serious (and seriously beautiful) collection on lingerie, check them out. At the very least, you'll be inspired.

As credited on the Spokes and Daggers blog, Photos are by Jo Duck, the lovely lady in them is model Lulu Wagstaffe, hair and makeup by Sarah Lea Cross, and an assist from Dominique.

Daisy Lowe in Esquire: She Gets Down, We Get The Low-Down on Her Lingerie

Lingerie, underwear, Daisy Lowe, green, lace, bra, Stella McCartney, red, panties, knickers, Agent Provocateur, black, Babyloo, mesh, polka dot, bodysuit, Fifi Chachnil, blue, socks, Falke, Esquire, UK, June, 2010, Greg Williams,

Model Daisy Lowe shows some lingerie moves (and in some instances more skin than we feature in fufL) in the July 2010 issue of the U.K. edition of Esquire Magazine. In the layout photographed by Greg Williams, she also shows off an impressive mish-mash of lingerie as in the above instance:
Her green lace bra is by Stella McCartney, her red 'knickers' by Agent Provocateur, the Babyloo mesh polka-dot bodysuit is by Fifi Chachnil, and her thigh-high blue socks are from Falke. Talk about your Joy of Sox. OK, you can get that idea from the cover, as well:

Handmade But Hardly Hopeless Lingerie

Lingerie, underwear, Hopeless Hotel, Dahlia, Bra, Alice, knickers, panties, Lily, garter belt, pink, black, stockings,

Hopeless Handmade Lingerie seems anything but hopeless. They have two collections (so far); the bright and more playful Posie Pepper and the sleeker, vintage Noir The Jewel Thief. Either could steal a heart.

Hopeless is designed, made and marketed by a 26 year old Australian entrepreneur Gabrielle Adamidis. (Great; I'm not quite 25, I've got a blog. She already has an entire lingerie empire-in-the-making). Above, the black Dahlia Bra, Alice panties (or knickers - the Brits and Australians get to have an extra fun descriptor, notice) and Lily Garter Belt with stockings. Below, the also-inspired by Alice in Wonderland Pansy knickers with a pink ruffle.

Lingerie, underwear, Hopeless, Dahlia, bra, black, pink, Pansy, knickers, panties,

They also sell through Etsy.com, and even though each piece is custom handmade, they say allow only 4 to 5 weeks. I know of a few 'majors' they can take that much time for mass-produced lingerie and other items, so not bad at all.

And, although I've done posts before alluding to the fetish my girlfriend and I enjoy of ripping each others' underwear to shreds, this is not the kind you treat as such, and just not for reasons of price, but for reasons of artistry.
