Picure it…16th Century France. Boned bodices and silky panties. The perfectly most indecent way to accentuate the body. Well that was then…

Now…a modern version of the sexy classic lingerie has been born. Take some Gallic spice and mix it with a dash of voyeuristic pleasure and you have Nona De Samim.

Nona - having worked for Vogue and Harvey Nichols is now bringing her cheeky L’Atelier Parisien Collection to the masses - just in time for Valentine’s Day.

If Nona is brining sexy back she’s doing it with open-backed garter panties and a detatachable lead! Her eponymous line ‘Sans Coulottes’ does just that and in four different colour combos. Beats a Marks & Spencers 5-pair knicker pack any day!

Sans Coulottes @ £95. Available to buy at La Petite Coquette, NYC; Zou Zou, Roma, Darling Frivole, München and Un’dress, Singapore. Coming to the UK soon!

See www.ndesamim.com for details.

Visit Nona at the Salon International de la Lingerie in Paris - 2-5 Feb ‘07 ‘ stand : S16.
