FUN MESSAGES ON POST-IT NOTES

Some people use post-its to stick notes on the fridge, the computer, etc. And some people use them compulsively to draw everything that pops into their head, absolutely everything. The messages left on these traditional little pieces of paper that we are showing you today are one of the many original forms that illustrator Marc Johns uses to express his sense of humour.

“I like to say a lot, but using few words. My work tends to lean towards humour. To find the comic element of things often helps to give you a more objective outlook. I like to create absurd situations, combining things that do not normally go together, or imagining what inanimate objects would say if they could talk. I think about it constantly: I think about thinking”.

NEW MAKING OF THE WINTER CATALOGUE

As always, we enjoy showing you how we put together our fashion productions. It’s a stressful process for the team:  true to Murphy’s Law, there is always some reason for us to run around like headless chickens worrying that we won’t finish it all. The clothes didn’t arrive, the model forgot her passport, the make-up artist got out the wrong side of bed. It’s always something! But what’s important is that once we get going, we forget all the hassle and the good part begins!

THE AGE OF INNOCENCE

This huge bra wasn’t made for w’s, but we like it so much that by posting it here it now feels just a little bit like ours.

We’re sure it brings back memories of when you were little and you secretly tried on your mum’s bras, stuffed with toilet paper. My goodness!! They looked huge! You longed for the day when you could “properly” wear one, but looking at yourself in the mirror, you found it hard to believe that one day you might fill it without resorting to toilet paper. Hmmm, it’s made us look back to those wonderful years when bras were huge, summers were endless and you were care free.

Yoshikazu Yamagota is the artist behind this huge underwear set, with which she is trying to bring out the mischievous child that we all have inside of us, to remember the times when those slightly taboo items made us so curious.
See her his other works at www.writtenafterwards.com, an art space.

WOMEN’SECRET DESIGNS SMILES TO SEND TO MUMBAI

Is it possible to design smiles?

At women’secret we try to find reasons to smile and take our smiles wherever we go. Today we have the opportunity to spread this spirit beyond fashion and we’re so excited! During the month of November, women’secret is collaborating with the charity Sonrisas de Bombay (Mumbai Smiles) for the building of 5 nursery schools in the city for children between the ages of 2 and 6 years.

Sonrisas de Bombay is going impressive work with underprivileged children in the vast urban sprawl of this Indian city. Some 5,000 orphans and families from vulnerable Mumbai communities have gained the chance of a better future.

Throughout the month of November, shopping in women’secret will mean making someone smile on the other side of the world. Gandhi once said: “Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.”

FASHIONISTA INSPIRATION: LUXURY, GLAMOUR AND PERIOD FASHION

Every period has someone we now call a fashionista.

That’s right, those women who love fashion and are the icons of countless others. And the most famous of these could well be French queen Marie Antoinette. This is partly thanks to Sofia Coppola, as in her film Marie Antoinette she expertly defines the transgressive and modern personality that, for her time, placed her in the history books.

With a nod to this period fashionista, in w’s we channel her daring, elegant and provocative style in a collection of silks, satins and chiffons that is just exquisite. It is corsetry for those passionate moments where you want to feel truly sexy. Special bras — cupless, extreme balconettes, sheer corsets, crotchless panties… the most suggestive lingerie.

W’EAU SUNSET: THE MAGICAL HOUR

Photographers and film directors all agree that sunset is a magical moment, when the sun goes down and there’s a special, magical light. And we’ve managed to
capture that very special moment. How? With a subtle fragrance created to trap that fleeting romantic time of day.

Just like the time when day and night come together, we’ve blended a whole range of gorgeous sensations to create w’eau sunset: a unique aroma, rich in memories and
hopes for the future.

Our new fragrance has been created to accompany all the sensation of autumn: those warm memories of summer and those sensations that are gradually fading into the
past, plus the mysteries held by the experiences that await us. And so we’re wishing you a happy and magical autumn with w’eau sunset!
