La Senza London Trip, Part 1

As I was invited to the La Senza Spring/Summer 2009 Press Preview, I decided I'd go!!

So for my first ever press preview, this is what I wore.

Ie it's the Prada-inspired outfit from my post "Claire interprets High Fashion collections" with the addition of the All Saints jacket (and a coat!) for warmth. I liked. Though I did take a pair of flats (very much required. These shoes are also a bit too big for me, but damned if they're going to my sister too!).

Anyway, the La Senza preview. Walking into the marquee where it was held, my immediate thoughts were "Neon! Everywhere!". Seems that even La Senza (home of pretty and sexy bras) are heading down the Eighties route. After the initial colour shock, I was shown around the marquee. There were some very nice black, red and pink things for Valentine's day, I particularly liked the ruffly black bra with red ruffles.

Of the rest, they had loungewear/pyjamas (in springtime light fresh colours... not particularly different but not offensive), some quite exciting swimwear (they sell it in separates and cup sizes! So I know where I'll be going next time I need a bikini!) and yet more neon. La Senza have also started a jewelry line which I think is out now. I saw a long triple dragonfly necklace which I quite fancied.

All in all, I reckon quite positive. Though maybe less focus on the neon orange next time?
