Bottomless knickers: 2008 lingerie trend?

Written by Daniel P Dykes

Sure, we write about fashion trends on an almost daily basis, but lingerie trends are something new to us. After all, has lingerie really strayed from course over the past decade? Black or colourful. Lacy or streamlined. Overt branding or subtle kink.

Does anything really change?

Knickers blog seems to think so. In fact they've spotted a trend: bottomless knickers, or to put it more delicately, ouvert knickers.

And what's brought about the trend? The fact that ouvert knickers are no longer the domain of half-baked, sex fetish, adult stores. Rather a large number of high-end lingerie designers are turning their hand to the style.

These include the likes of industry leaders Agent Provocateur whose Cendrillion Cheeky Briefs, modelled by hypermodel Kate Moss above, are easily my personal favourite.

We've also seen similar concepts from St.Tropez Leisure (pictured right), N de Samim, and Maison Close.

But how far have we come? Is the average fashioniser on the street willing to wear a little kink in her every day life? Seemingly not if the amount of negative votes on a pair of ouvert knickers from Coquette are anything to go by.

Have your say in the forums (link below), or by voting on the Agent Provocateur pair, the pair from Coquette, and the pairs from St. Tropez Leisure.
