While her designs are available at only 4 retail outlets in the world, designer Nichole de Carle is making a big impression in the lingerie world. The London-based designer brings the hard-edged design elements of great architecture of the world and interprets them into luxurious, satiny foundation garments. Free of extraneous decoration, her collections remind us that lingerie is intended as the structure upon which fashion is built.
The “Opal Collection” takes its inspiration from four architechtural gems, located in four fashion capitals of the world: The Louvre in Paris, the Duomo in Milan, Westminster Abbey in London, and the Chrysler building in New York. Her “Onyx Collection” is inspired by architecture featured in the book “The DaVinci Code”, by Dan Brown, and reflects the mystery and mysticism of the search for the Holy Grail.
Nichole’s creations, unlike some other designers’ offerings, are practical and emminently wearable. Only one question remains unanswered for us. How can one possibly bear to cover up these stunning fashions with other clothing?

She has been one of our favorite lingerie models, but, can Megan Fox carry an entire movie on her lovely, corsetted back? In the newly released film from DC Comics/Warner, “Jonah Hex”, Megan plays a lady-of-the-evening-in-distress in the old west to Josh Brolin’s scarred bounty hunter. Photos that were leaked from the set showing Megan’s costume caused a flurry of speculation in the industry and across the internet.
Megan Fox purportedly wears a size 0. As tiny as that sounds, the photos showed her in authentic, vintage corsets that seem to show a severely cinched waist. She explained that, for the sake of authenticity, the costume department did, in fact, tighten the corset, getting her waist down to an amazing 18 inches! Megan reported that, after wearing the corsets for a day of shooting, she bore the marks and indentations of the boning for another 24 hours.
Reports that she had dropped to an unhealthy weight were only speculation. Corsetting in the late 19th century was common and often resulted in dramatically small waist size. It is obvious from other photos of Megan taken out of costume at around the same time, that she retained her famously curvy figure.
