Felicity Hayward X Playful Promises Launch Party

Last week, we announced our collaboration with plus size model and body-positive activist, Felicity Hayward. The collection she designed in collaboration with us was designed to be accessible to everyone, including sporty two-pieces, sexy satin numbers and embellished sets.

To celebrate, we had a fabulous launch party at the Court in Soho with some of Felicity’s favourite babes to show off the new collection! The sets were even named after some of the attendees.

They got to sift through the new collection as well as enjoy a video from the collaboration shoot, while having lunch in this luxe setting.

Attendees included models Daisy Lowe, Olivia Campbell, Mariah Idrissi and Portia Freeman. The collection includes size UK 8-26, so a variety of body-positive models and influencers was an absolute must!

Playful Christmas Party Outfits

It’s that time of year (already!) where the Christmas party invites are rolling in, lights are going up and Secret Santa’s are being planned. We’re already planning our looks we’ll be rocking up to the Christmas party in, so we thought we’d share how we’re styling our favourite pieces from this season.

Feeling daring? The Felicity Hayward X PP girdle dress is the easiest way to get some lingerie-as-outerwear in your outfit. Spice it up with a contrasting harness from Regalia on top. Throw over an oversized cardigan or jacket and boots to turn it up a notch, or go all-out in seamed tights and heels.

It’s avant-garde, dahling! Shimmy your way across the dancefloor in the tassle lingerie skirt. The ruffle neckpiece gives an added va-va-voom to this vintage-inspired outfit. Pair with our fishnet stockings to finish the look, and some patent black heels.

Colour-clashing galore! Red and green is a classic Christmas colour-combo, but we’ve updated forest-green for a teal hue to elevate this look. Mix rubber and lace with matching accessories to create some festive fetish magic.

This jumpsuit is a must-have for the holiday season! Something as glitzy as this doesn’t need much accessorising, so just pop on a choker to complete the look. Go all-out 70s disco babe in some mega platform boots, or keep it simple with red court heels for a colour-pop.

Going out in your PJs never looked so chic! These Velvet PJs are so luxurious (and totally mean you can stumble straight into bed after your night out!) Pair with a lace bodysuit for a sexy edge, and sport sexy tousled hair for that I-woke-up-like-dis-but-not-really look!

Playful Promises Goes to France!

Last year, we took to France to shoot our SS19 campaign with the incredible photographer, Le Turk. Le Turk creates surreal landscapes, scenery and props that look like a retro dystopia. Dramatic lighting and playful framing are key themes throughout; a perfect match for our brand!

We journeyed on the Eurostar and stayed in a beautiful French Chauteau (with some tasty wine and food!)

Before the shoot, Le Turk sent us some incredible illustrations of what he envisioned the set would look like.

It featured towering buildings, flying cars, and neon city lights, in surreal colours and proportions.

Here’s some more of his ideas with the end product, aren’t they perfect?!

In addition to all this, we launched loads of amazing new styles, with epic photoshoots!


However, enough about us! Some of us have New Years Eve parties to prepare for!

Black & Gold
The Caia Gold harness suspender skirt is such an amazing layering piece! Here we’ve layered it over a black lace dress to add a peplum effect. Pair with some chunky gold accessories and you’re ready to glitter at your party!

Flirty French Knicker

The Bettie Page French Knicker gives the perfect amount of coverage to be worn as outerwear. Here we’ve paired it with a black bodysuit and the harness from the Juliet Wine bra. The French Knickers are stupendously swishy, so perfect for dancing in!

The Harley body is the perfect piece to wear with black skinny jeans! It looks so simple and chic, and you can go OTT with the accessories to glam up your look.

Glitter & Lace

The Tanja bralet looks so cute paired with high waisted skirts, and this colourful number is a perfect compliment to it’s black eyelash lace. Mix and match bright accessories and you’ll have all eyes on you!
