The Lake & Stars; Like a Stockings Fetish Film

 images via The Lake & Stars, photography Tom Hines

The Lake & Stars turns up the risque-factor with its new Fall/Winter 2010 collection and yet another memorable set of images in its lookbook.  We kind of get a 70's porn vibe from it, but in a good way of course!  Designers Nikki and Maayan manage to capture their signature style in a fresh new set of designs, which consists of several amazing sets of bras, panties and rompers/bodysuits...and now open stockings (our delicate way of saying crotchless) and 'open' garter panties.  There are even some new textures in the Fall collection with the addition of the knit romper and knit blanket!  Overall we think this is a very strong collection, and we can safely say that The Lake & Stars just gets better each season (and it was great to begin with!). 

We should also note that this season's catalogue was shot by photographer Tom Hines, who is responsible for the now iconic images from the Spring/Summer 2010 lookbook (we posted about here).

The Lake & Stars - Spring 2010

Photographer: Tom Hines, Model: Nell Rebowe, Hair & Makeup: Fernando Haddad, Prop Stylist: Jesse Kaufmann

We have been patiently waiting since September 2009 to share these images with you from the SS2010 collection by The Lake & Stars (you may have spotted them months ago elsewhere but we don't like showing a collection prematurely out of respect for the designer). Let's just say we were floored by the amazing job the ladies behind The Lake & Stars did in putting the Spring lookbook together. Designers Nikki and Maayan teamed with the talented photographer Tom Hines whose conceptual vision made their dazzling new collection look like a spread in W Magazine.
Putting this type of effort into a catalogue makes such a difference for a designer; the branding, the attention to detail and the concept are seamlessly displayed to capture the attention of the consumer and the fashion world. Memorable images like this really set The Lake & Stars apart from many of their contemporaries.
Take a look at the rest of the images on The Lake & Stars website...there are captions and a bit of a dangerous story that go along with them.

Also, the brand has launched a sister line called "Double in Brass" which will be sold exclusively at Urban Outfitters throughout 2010. It is a younger, more contemporary collection of lingerie and loungewear. The phrase “Double in Brass” is a Victorian term for taking on a second job...very clever, just like everything these ladies do!
