Lindsay Lohan wears What Katie Did Vintage Lingerie for Liz and Dick

Lindsay Lohan is nearing the end of filming for the movie 'Liz and Dick' where she portrays Elizabeth Taylor. If you read the gossip press you'll be aware of all the drama and it does sound like everyone will be pleased when 'it's a wrap' so they can settle down for a little quiet time: especially the wardrobe department who seem to be making daily trips to our Hollywood Store for period correct lingerie.

The costume department have scoured LA for vintage clothing but couldn't find enough vintage lingerie for the movie and so came to us. Lindsay's favourite is our Glamour Underwired Bra in peach which gives a wearable gentle vintage shape (as opposed to the full on bullet bra).

When I was in Hollywood a couple of weeks ago I took the opportunity to revamp the store a little, moving things around and adding a few touches. Originally we had black curtains in the store window and changing rooms, but we've now changed them to blue: it's amazing the difference they make!

Since we opened in LA 9 months ago our Hollywood team has worked extremely hard, not only working on the store floor but dealing mail order and customer service for the entire USA as well as working with an ever growing list of stylists. They've always been a little jealous of how good our London store looks, but I reckon Hollywood is now looking just as swanky!

If you're in LA be sure to follow our Hollywood store on Twitter and Facebook for the latest US news.

Kylie Minogue wears What Katie Did's Long Sheer Gloves in Glamour Magazine

Glamour Magazine (UK) have just announced their Women of the Year award winners and Kylie Minogue has been voted 'Outstanding Contribution'. We couldn't agree more. Who would have thought that a teenage mechanic in an Australian soap opera would end up having so much impact on pop culture and fashion (not to mention giving hope and inspiration to those suffering from breast cancer)?

It's the first time Kylie has worn What Katie Did (pictured here in our Long Sheer Gloves for Glamour, July 12) and we think she looks amazing!

Ellen shot a series of women for a range of work titled 'Do Not Disturb' in the quirky and luxurious setting of the famous Madonna Inn which nestles half way between LA and San Francisco (I've immediately put it on my 'to do list!')

Having been voted as one of Time Magazine’s top 100 Fashion Icons, Ellen Von Unwerth has a reputation like no other. Shooting everyone from models and movie stars to music icons such as Rihanna and Christina Aguilera.

What Katie Did Lulu Bullet Bras in new Kelly Brook Campaign

I met Kelly Brook years ago when I was working at Skin Two: she did a shoot for the magazine. All I remember was that she was clad head to toe in Vivienne Westwood and that I was very jealous! It has to be said that Kelly's curves were made for rubber clothing and when I saw her in a House of Harlot gown for her latest campaign I wasn't too upset that we'd missed out - her contract with New Look prevented her from wearing any other brand of lingerie, so no What Katie Did on Kelly this time around. However, we did manage to get two of our Lulu Bullet Bras on her assistants.

Sabina Kelley wears What Katie Did's Cabaret Torsolette for Dynamite Magazine


Although we try to keep track of our press, sometimes an appearance comes as a complete surprise so we're thrilled to see Sabina Kelley on the cover of Germany's Dynamite magazine in our Cabaret Torsolette. This isn't the first time Sabina has worn our lingerie (check her our in our VLV11 fashion show).

Our Cabaret Torsolette is a strapless bodyshaper made from sheer organza and powermesh. Its' light weight makes it ideal for wearing in the warmer months, but rest assured it will smooth out those lumps and bumps. Like all our shapewear it contains spiral steel boning don't bend out of shape like plastic boning can.

Besame Cosmetics' New Violet Brightening Powder

Can you believe it's been nearly a year since Besame Cosmetics launched their last product? Their Cream Rouge immediately zoomed to the top of our Besame Best Seller list where it has stayed ever since!

Unlike other small cosmetics brands, Besame manufacture their products from scratch. This means months in the lab followed by tricky packaging design. No one said perfection was easy!
Besame refuse to compromise on ingredients and we're delighted to learn about the launch of their new Violet Brightening Powder which will be arriving early July. The powder is ideal for brightening up light to medium complexions: the term 'brightening' is a big buzz on the beauty scene at the moment!
