			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The French have long been renowned for their fashion sense and French lingerie is just one more way in which the French have shown that they understand how to be sexy and alluring.  The world of French lingerie includes many sexy and luxury items that make the wearer feel very confident, sensual, and sexier.</p>
<p>Since the French first invented lingerie back in the 1600s there are now a huge number of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:French_fashion_designers" target="_blank">French designers</a> that specialise in creating unique and sexy little pieces, a popular handful of which include Huit, Little Kiss, Lise Charmel, Marisetienne, Cotton Club, Nefer, and Simon Perele.</p>
<p>Of course, there are hundreds of famous designers across the world in addition to these that have dedicated themselves to producing French lingerie and for this reason there are now many different types of lingerie available on the market.  Each of these pieces varies due to colour, material, cuts, and styles.  Some of the designs are wilder while others may thrive on simplicity and colour combinations to create an elegant but alluring visual sensation for the viewer and the wearer alike.  For this reason there truly is something for everyone on the market.</p>
<p>In addition to the thousands of designs available on the market, there are also many different sizes available designed to fit those who fall within the normal size scale and those in need of plus sizes.  Some of the most popular materials that are used to create French lingerie include latex, nylon, silk, satin, and leather the material choice of course depending on the overall design that the buyer or designer desires.  For example, a sexy French garter may be made out of leather or nylon instead of silk because of the extra support that a garter requires in order to create the desired effect.</p>
<p>Of course some designs also use a mixture of materials such as a garter that is made from nylon but is decorated with silk or lacy embellishments and other combinations.  Due to this fact the price of different items of French lingerie varies widely and can range anywhere from a few pounds up to a few hundred pounds depending on the type of piece you have in mind and the designer.  For this reason people choose to shop online for lingerie pieces since they can find a better array of sizes and discounts in the virtual world versus on high street.</p>
<p>Those that are a bit more timid also find it easier to shop for lingerie online since they do not feel as if anyone is judging their purchase making it easier to purchase what they really want instead of what they think they should want.  <a href="http://www.agentprovocateur.com/lingerie.html" target="_blank">French lingerie</a> is inspired by some of the greatest fashion minds in the world and thus each piece is a creation worthy of admiration both as an art form and as a beautiful creation designed to stun a loved one.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fashion designs in France have always been looked upon in the form of benchmark for the fashion standards all over the world since ages. The notable French fashion goes on to inspire designs across the fashion industry and have also earned a unique distinction for Paris as ‘World’s Fashion Capital’.</p>
<p>Fashion industry had made beeline to this country under tutelage of the designers like Balmain, Pierre Cardin, Dior, Givenchy and Fath, Andre Courreges, and Saint Laurent. The previous French designs depicted the classic styles that were substituted later by the experimental style. They were further substituted by street style which focused to a greater extent on young consumers. </p>
<p><strong>Space age</strong></p>
<p>Under the designers Pierre Cardin, Courreges, there was a dawn of space age. It marked the making of pieces in the silver or white and black. These colors were also used in combinations with each other. Moreover, pop dresses bearing stripes were designed. Trouser suits were also designed as per the demands of youngsters. In short, French fashion started to cater to needs of the youth. Fashion designers of France also derived inspiration from several different aspects like paintings and nature.</p>
<p><strong>The present scenario</strong></p>
<p>The current scenario is such that fashion designers from France compose designs inclusive of chiffon tops, which are mostly put on by the affluent class. Apart from these designs, there’re high skirts mad in silver and white, with the geometric shapes. Amongst the exceptional styles is the one of putting on helmets and PVC boots with skirts. Ethnic designs of France have been influenced by ancient Egyptians. They have been characterized by the outfits designed with the help of sequined bands that are tied jointly by the transparent silk.</p>
<p>Fashion designs of France are inclusive of a wide spectrum of outfits like beachwear, gowns, caps, and coats, and lounging suits. Such designs have been marked by sophistication and feminine touch. These designs give more importance to a woman’s seductive and sensual charm, apart from having her portraying her in the form of new-fangled, modern age independent being. Designers belonging to Sylindical Chamber For Couture, Paris, make designs called haute couture designs. Such designs cater to the private customers. They also give a personalized feeling.</p>
<p><strong>1940 trends</strong> </p>
<p>Second World War led to the closing down of several fashion homes in France, especially Paris. Couture had been amongst the ones affected by re-education program that was initiated by Government of France then. Possession of the high fashion of France was taken by German invaders. Relocation of haute culture to the German cities like China and Berlin, which possessed a bit of conventional history in terms of fashion was also considered. These had been certain significant alterations in landscape of French fashion.</p>
<p>At that time, models in the fashion shows had been limited to 75, whereas time for the evening wear had been drastically lessened. The attire to be put on during the day was made skimpier. The length of coats in 1940s was not >4 meters. The length of the blouse was around 1 meter.</p>
