A superhuman sexiness is unleashed for the Agent Provocateur Autumn Winter 2013 collection. Inspired by the grandes dames of Seventies Sci Fi – Barbarella, Bat Girl and the Flash Gordon femmes – this season’s lingerie comes powered up with bold new fabrics and electrified with futuristic hues.
Flashes from the future collide with old-fashioned values, as couture-like finishes and the finest of fabrics prove
that the biggest superhero of them all this season is the Craftsman.

Autumn 2013

The Iconic Agent Provocateur Woman is always at the forefront of any new collection, and this season she’s
represented by the ‘Ambrose’, the ‘Indigoe’, and the sweetly sexy ‘Amaris’.

 

‘Ambrose’ is an ultra-luxe creation in classic pink and black, with an exclusive Austrian embroidery that extends all the way out to delicate guipure edges on the plunge bra and tanga knickers.The ‘Indigoe’ is her classic comrade-in-arms, a multi-layered fantasy of French Leavers lace, spotted mesh, electric blue tulle and black lace trim, with tiny cerise rosebuds to accentuate the shades of midnight.

  

Sci-fi sensuality is epitomized in a collection of bold sculpted pieces that are almost armour-like in construction,but ultimately soft and beautiful like the woman beneath. The ‘Jet’ is the Power Princess of these pieces:made of a double layer of black tulle with specially commissioned PVC binding, the Deco lines are designed to emphasise your superhero proportions. The ‘Rhia’ set, made of a faggot-stitched flexible faux leather, evokes power silhouettes whilst the ‘Zatanna’, a silk jacquard fabric with a floral jacquard pattern, uses clever traditional corsetry construction to reveal flashes of skin and to boldly enhance the form.

Colour is key in the Autumn collection, a nuclear explosion of acid yellows, petrol blues and searing scarlet. The
‘Electra’ sets the bar high, with fronds of luminous green French leavers lace ‘trapped’ between two layers of
black tulle. Criss-crossing elastic rouleaux draw attention to all the right spots. Kaleidoscopic colour is also a key
feature of the ‘Zuri’, a light-as-air tulle set emblazoned with French embroidery in radioactive hues.
Supergirls with a softer side will be enchanted by the ‘Demelza’, a showpiece set where precious materials are
brought together with all the care and passion of the original couturiers. Ultra-fine tulle knit on Swiss lace
machines almost disappears against the skin, but rouleaux silk binding gives form, with a cleavage-enhancing
keyhole shape bra, and a lightly padded corset that gives dramatic astro-navigatrix proportions.

    

Winter 2013

The comic girl fantasy is continued for Winter 2013, with brilliant hues and bolder proportions, and sultry
fabrics that play tricks on the eye. The ‘Phoenix’ set has been two years in the making; a lace which is printed
with a tie dye effect, it goes through three stages of construction in as many separate countries, before it
comes to its completion.

Light-as-air and barely there, the ‘Annoushka’ is a tantalising halterneck bra of Chantilly lace, with almost invisible
construction and underwiring to give shape. Tiny shell buttons keep the wisps of lace together, and reveal
flashes of skin in between.

The season’s fascination with the artistry of the couturier is beautifully expressed in the ‘Matilda’ and the
‘Rudy’. Perfectly nude power mesh is layered, corded, bound and reconstructed into the ultimate hourglass
shape in the ‘Matilda’ corset, with light foam padding and heavy black French leavers lace highlighting the hyper feminine form. With the ‘Rudy’, traditional corsetry elements bind and shape the breasts with adjustable black silk rouleaux, stretchy corded lace and a bold flash of deep purple silk satin underneath.
As ever, Agent Provocateur’s classic pink and black palette makes a winking appearance.

The ‘Krystalana’ is a retro confection of lace combined with stripy mesh, with all the lines of the corselette and the roll-on suspenders converging at just the right points. The ‘Charlie’ play suit is another perfect exercise in line and
form, with delicate straps of ruched black lace gently drawing across the body, and meeting where X marks
the spot with pretty little pink silk bows.

No stone is left unturned, no detail left unexplored and no fantasy is too farfetched in the creation of this
collection. Super-luxe and supersonic, it boldly goes where no knickers have gone before.
