We like to call her the Queen’s cousin though there are a few who do recognise her as Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, the British model who is also believed to be a distant cousin of the Queen of England (and could be more popular for that simple fact than her own natural sexiness). Well leaving the debatable topic aside, let us tell you that the scaldingly hot beauty has recently been anointed as the newest Victoria’s Secret Angel. And that is indeed a feather in the crown for this model who has already worked for big names like Burberry and Agent Provocateur and featured in the Pirellu Calendar.

A li’l birdie tells us that Rosie is the only current British Angel to join the group of Lindsay Ellingson, Emanueal DiPaula, Candice Swanepoel and Chanel Iman.

Victoria’s Secret is a brand known as much for the sexy lingerie it makes as for the gorgeous models it hires for its fashion shows. Well, once again the name is in news for the just the same reasons. We hear that none other than supermodel Angel Marisa Miller has been roped in by VS to do some heavy duty modeling for its upcoming year. Not just that, the beautiful Brazilian will walk down the ramp wearing a stunning diamond-studded bra designed by Damiani with an estimated cost of $3 million.

PEOPLE magazine reports Angel as absolutely ecstatic about the grand turn in her career and even shared some details about the fantasy bra which by the way is being celebrated as ‘a girl’s best friend’. The harlequin pattern on the bra is decorated with several diamonds in shades of white, campagne and cognac.

Agent Provocateur has a reputation of bringing the sauciest range of lingerie. Now, we could go on the whole debate about vanity and it’s relation to women (the Alexander Pope way) but we shall exclude that part and go on straight to talk about the newest line created by the fashion brand. Dubbed as kinky couture, the Agent Provocateur Soiree collection will feature the most exquisite lingerie in the world.

We are informed that the pieces have been made out of the finest and the most delicate fabrics, each sewn with hand-crusted Swarovski crystals into hand-studded Italian leather. The company’s director Joe Coree is claiming that the new lingerie line has been kept true to the couture tradition and is aimed at fashionistas for whom money is never an issue.

We do know that the famous Beckham couple has been the face of Emporio Armani for some time now. In fact, the pretty lady in question actually sizzled the metallic avatar that she donned to endorse the lingerie line (don’t fret, because we also think that David looked like a real scorcher too; just that this article is more about wifey dearest than him). But now, it looks like Victoria has her own plans. The first being, to discontinue our professional association with the luxe design house by not renewing her one year contract with them.

We presume that it’s her own fashion empire that call for Victoria’s unabated attention right now. She wants to channelize all her creative energies into growing her own fashion brand which is catching up with the fashionistas thanks to its varied range of dresses, denims, sunglasses and perfumes.

This affordable bra is meant for filthy rich clan whose luxurious desires don’t end at a single albeit unique gold and diamond studded two piece set. Chinese long-hunt for luxurious bra came to an end with this elite bra made of 7.5 karats of South African diamonds and 630 grams of pure gold. This bejeweled bra can be an ultimate tool for the men to bestow their beloved with something even they will relish.

Let me take the honor to disclose its price to the interested ones. This luxurious bra demands $13,600 for the embedded gold, $45,000 for layered diamonds and $50,000 for the labor who spent 2,000 long hours at a stretch to deliver this luring lingerie.

With a total around $108,600, the bikini cannot beat the charm of the world’s overpriced bikini retailed at $30mn.Professional felons can try their hand on something different now. What Say? Presently, this peerless bra is exhibited in Beijing.

We were amazed to witness the sensuous swimwear collection by Lycra and Ashley Paige. Even the Gold swimsuit by Ginza Tanaka for $2, 45,000 thrilled me. But today, the news of world’s most-expensive lingerie retailed at $ 30mn is a shock to me.

Pinch yourself before even seeing this bikini as seemingly thread-like structure is embedded with Steinmetz Diamonds. Designed by Susan Rosen, the bikini can best be worn only at beaches. True confession, its fall into the lingerie category is not justifiable as the fabric used for this bikini is a layer of pure diamonds and not a bit of clothe.

Model Molly Sims flaunted this designer bikini and is residing at the centerfold of the 2006 Illustrated Sports Swimsuit issue. The bikini is packed with over 150 carats of D Flawless diamonds.

Other ornamental diamonds include:

1) 51 carat D Flawless Pear Shape
2) 30 carat D Flawless Emerald Cut
3) 15 carat D Flawless Rounds (pair)
4) Platinum-set 8 carat D Flawless Pear Shape (pair)

I am sure this elite bikini can get its deserving respect only in the exotic ambience of best beaches.

Immortal connection

With dark shades, funky prints and unusual and least expected designer creation, the Lycra swimwear summer 2008 collection in Miami is like a pill to eyes.

Stripes always rule

Surprisingly the collection was not hung on mannequins. This time pretty faces were identified on the ramp adding life to these valuable swim suits, a perfect outfit for elite dames.

Available in varied floral designs and shapes, the attraction of the show was one piece suits, mischievous cuts to entice even a blind man.

Who would have thought that the design and taste dated 1300 years back would still be appreciated by us or Gen X? Jewelry maker–Ginza Tanaka. With ingredients thread spun and 24-carat gold, one can think of producing a neckpiece worth dollars but not swimsuits. Fortunately, Tanaka creativity lies beyond this limited imagination. The designer has lately unveiled a swimsuit, tapestry and matching shawl at a workshop in Kyoto.

Revealing the deserving cost of this handwoven dress, jewelry maker Ginza Tanaka said, “With a weight of 1.1 kilograms, this dress is retailed at 30,000,000 yen ($2, 45,000).

Weighing 500 grams, the other swimsuit with dipping neckline and almost backless strings is available for sale at 10 million yen (81,700 dollars). A single tapestry would suffice to add life in your living room at the cost of 50 million yen (408,000 dollars).

To do away with the existing definition and respect for the jewelry industry, Tanaka wishes to lay a new foundation for it by offering dresses and swimsuits that would be no less than designer jewelry. Don’t ever think of washing it ever in the washing machine.
