Cherry Noire ... Lingerie to Live For!

“The funkiest lingerie shop in the southern hemisphere” is how one of Cherry Noire’s first customers described their experience of stepping through the door of Perth’s newest boutique. Without a rack or hanger in site and using antique furniture combined with vibrant colourful displays, Cherry Noire is quite an experience.

Owners Sally and Serge wanted to reflect their passion for life and lingerie in creating Cherry Noire. "We both love design and with so many exquisite pieces made from different fabrics in constantly evolving designs, there’s always something new that takes your breath away”. Serge is also French, which has made it possible for Cherry Noire to import from some of the smaller more exclusive French designers.

Cherry Noire carries lingerie from over 20 of the world’s greatest lingerie designers. They are exclusive Australian retailers for over 80% of their range, which comes predominately from Europe. Cherry Noire is the only Australian company selling the UK’s Fleur T as well as Le Bourget, Nuits de Satin and Rosy from France. Australia’s top designers, Sally Jones and Elegantly Scant, are included in the range. There’s also an extensive bridal collection and luxurious hosiery from Trasparenze.

Cherry Noire have also launched a website, http://www.cherrynoire.com/. Whether you love classic cuts, a romantic look, trying cutting edge designs or revealing the dark temptress within – you can choose from the four ranges of Romantic, Trendsetter, The Sophisticate and Wilder Exotic. In addition to gorgeous bra and knicker sets, Cherry Noire also stock a huge range of corsets, bustiers, suspender belts and lingerie accessories.

Introducing ...

THE PALACE POOCH!

He goes by the name of Romeo, and yes, he certainly lives up to his name. He was most recently spotted wooing the girls at Louis Vuitton in Perth where he picked up a cute little studded LV monogram dog collar – because studs are so in this season!

This pampered pooch certainly knows a great label when he sniffs one.

Melbourne welcomes Louis Vuitton

Melbourne’s fashionable elite turned out for the recent opening of Louis Vuitton on Collins St – part of the city’s infamously fashionable inner-city precinct.

Among the star-studded crowd was the lovely Jennifer Hawkins who looked classically elegant in black, but stealing the limelight was none other than Perth model, Rebecca Twigley. Rebecca looked stunning in this white one-shoulder tiered ruffle dress, but the killer heels stole the show!

Another knock-out outfit to add to her repertoire …

Oh, and Rebecca’s boyfriend, AFL footballer Chris Judd was there too!

High Heeled Art

If you’re anything like me, footwear took on a whole new dimension the moment I tried on my first pair of high heels.

It was some time between the ages of 4 and 5 while playing dress-ups in my mum’s wardrobe. Despite swimming in the oversized skirt and top ensemble I had created, there is photographic evidence that proves when I teamed the outfit with a pair of killer heels –
I looked every bit the grown up woman….even with the tissue-stuffed bra!

Every woman knows that slipping on a pair of stilettos can change your look in an instant – not to mention boost your self confidence and cause your sex appeal to skyrocket! The fact is, women love wearing them and men love watching women wear them – even if they don’t understand why we are so fascinated with buying so many pairs of them.

Well, one man [finally] understands the fascination with high heels and is making a name for himself by exploring footwear as works of art.

Mark Schwartz is an accomplished shoe designer who spent 25 years traveling the world for inspiration. He spent five years honing his skills under the renowned Roger Vivier and also gained inspiration from artistic icon, Andy Warhol.

It was Warhol and Vivier who encouraged Schwartz to explore his shoe fascination and pursue his ‘high heeled art’. Such esteemed encouragement sparked Schwartz’s flourishing career as an artist and he now has a worldwide following from a growing private, corporate and celebrity clientele.

Schwartz’s paintings bring shoes to life by capturing the beauty, excitement and spontaneity associated with wearing such fabulous heels. His works are one-of-a-kind original artworks and are sold unframed and shipped FREE worldwide.

So if you eat, sleep and breath Jimmy Choo or Manolo Blahnik, here’s your chance to capture your favourite pair on canvas for a fashionable eternity!
