Guia La Bruna - Ultra Lingerie at Salon International de la Lingerie

We’re on our last days of the show here in Paris, and wanted to give Knickers readers a sneaky peek at the catwalk photos we’ve been taking. This Barbarella-tastic piece is from the Ultra Lingerie show on Thursday night, where designers pair up with textile experts to create a one-off, themed piece just for the show. This year’s theme was Ultra Modern, and this is Guia la Bruna’s piece from the show. Love the retro-future-space-vixen look!

Dezzi’s Lounge - Ultra Lingerie at Salon International de la Lingerie

Okay, we can’t resist one more from the Ultra show, this one from Dutch label Dezzi’s Lounge in a severe case of equestrian chic.

We’ll be uploading the rest of our photos over the next few days, and Alison will be taking care of you next week while Danae is on holiday in Amsterdam. Have a lovely week!
