Here’s a sexy little surprise to start off the day: For her first ever design gig, Julia Restoin-Roitfeld has designed a capsule collection of lingerie for Kiki de Montparnasse. As we reported back in September, Roitfeld mysteriously hinted that she might be working on a lingerie line, but nothing was confirmed until now, which is great because you’ll only have to wait about a week to get your hands on the lacy creations. According to Elle, the collection hits stores next Wednesday.

So it’s not 27 Rue de Fleurus, but this fall 79 Greene St. will be hosting a series of intimate salons, inspired by cultural gatherings like the ones Gertrude Stein hosted at that famous address.
Kiki de Montparnasse’s SoHo store will host four salons lead by the mysterious “Domina K” to school attendees in the art of love: partner play (open to couples), celebrating the sensual self (women only), the art of seduction (men only), and bedroom games (couples).
Guests will learn “sensual techniques,” learn about different “instruments of pleasure,” and “explore fantasies with joy and abandon,” while sipping on champagne and eating from a buffet of aphrodisiacs.
