Cervin Stockings

As we prepare for the arrival of Cervin stockings here at Faire Frou Frou we wanted to make mention of their handsome website and their blog which is dedicated entirely to beautiful hosiery. You might be surprised to see how often stockings show up in editorial, but it really appears to be the accessory of choice these days.
Cervin is a French company that creates hundreds of varieties of hosiery, and really has a great niche market with their back-seam thigh highs/stockings. Often times well-known lingerie labels (for instance Fifi Chachnil) will have Cervin create their private label hosiery collection. It's pretty easy to see why.
To learn more about Cervin check out their website, and for those stockings addicts out there (which we are discovering there's quite a few of you!), check out their blog too!

Stockings; as Interpreted by Katja Mayer

The one common denominator in all of these photos is the standout stockings and hosiery. Photographer Katja Mayer has captured several models wearing decorative thigh highs, perhaps while each was practicing their stretches! Our favorite is the purple pair in the first picture, and of course we always love the vintage-looking seamed stockings. What's interesting is that stockings are such a simple item that make such a dramatic impact, particularly when it comes to fashion photography.
