Paris comes to Londons undieworld - by Felicity Green
Paris comes to Londons undieworld - by Felicity Green. Rum comes from Jamaica, coffee comes from Brazil and pretty undies come from France, n est-ce-pas? Which is French for ain t it the truth? And judging from the picture here it obviously is the truth. Some of the prettiest undies I ve ever seen were modelled at Londons Cafe de Paris on Thursday last in a mammoth display of new lingerie designs many of which have been imported from France. In the audience - trade buyers and Press. On the platform - some of the loveliest model girls that gay Paree has to offer, specially flown over for the occasion. Bianca Faye, for instance, with vital statistics of 90-55-90. (Centimetres, of course, which correspond to 36-20-36 in our language and inches). Confident and glamorous, she glided down the room dressed in a little black lace job that resembled a bikini, only less so. Was she shy about appearing in such scanty scanties? " Certainly not." said the lovely Bianca. In such pretty undies I don t feel undressed." Did her boy friends mind her modelling such sparse fashions? Wouldn t they prefer her to break into the fur coat section? A beau who happened to be with Bianca at the time said no, he didn t mind at all. He was very pleased because she looked so pretty in her girdle. I always said Frenchmen were broadminded. Designed and made by the French firm of Lejaby, Biancas bikini is in black nylon lace over turquoise. The bra costs 46s. 6d. The pants are 29s. and there is a matching suspender belt for 31s. The set is made in a range of twelve colours. September 1959 P08694

EDITORS COMMENTS
Paris Comes to London's Undieworld - A Glamorous Display of French Lingerie". In this print by Felicity Green, we are transported to a world where Parisian elegance meets the vibrant streets of London. The image captures a momentous event at London's Cafe de Paris, where an extravagant showcase of new lingerie designs took place. Imported from France, these pretty undies have stolen the hearts of trade buyers and press alike. On the platform stand some of the most stunning model girls from gay Paree, specially flown over for this occasion. Among them is Bianca Faye, exuding confidence and glamour as she glides down the room in her little black lace bikini-inspired ensemble. Despite its scantiness, Bianca proudly declares that she doesn't feel undressed in such pretty undies. Curiosity lingers about whether her boyfriends would prefer her to don fur coats instead. However, one beau accompanying Bianca dismisses any concerns and expresses delight at how beautiful she looks in her girdle. It seems Frenchmen truly possess broad minds when it comes to fashion choices. Designed by renowned French firm Lejaby, Bianca's bikini set features black nylon lace over turquoise fabric. The bra costs 46s 6d while the pants are priced at 29s with a matching suspender belt available for 31s. This exquisite set comes in twelve different colors to suit every taste. This photograph transports us back to September 1959 when fashion boundaries were pushed and international influences merged seamlessly on London's stage.
