Spring '08 is looking splattered (V Magazine, Vogue France, Vogue Italia).

"Several blocks later, I came across a standard, uniformed version of the “New York power woman”: black flats, black dress, black overcoat, black headband. And as much as I tried to resist this woman’s funereal image, I felt myself drawn to her apparent sadness and fear. Her costuming was a shield; one felt that she didn’t want to be mistaken for a person, let alone a woman." - Hilton Als, on the gamut of New Yorkers' outfits on an incredibly warm day in early January, in The New Yorker.

Lingerie companies tend to feature the same women over and over:

Agent Provacateur and the yummy mummies; Victoria's Secret and the super tan, super tall beauties.

Now, Wonderbra has revealed its newest collaborator (first collaborator?) - Dita von Teese.

Dita will design a line of 1940's-inspired lingerie, to be sold first in France and the UK starting this September.

Even though this pairing actually makes sense to us, we think it's pretty funny - Wonderbra is, after all, best known for bringing the push-up bra into popularity, which Dita has truly owned in everything from cabarets to giant martini glasses.

But since no one seems to have any idea where Wonderbra is actually sold (we're not even sure we've seen one in person - we didn't even realize it was still a company until this news,) we're betting this collaboration will launch then disappear quickly. In which case, check Overstock in October if you're looking for a good deal on new underwear.
