New Agent Provocateur collection A wave of romanticism sweeps through the Agent Provocateur Spring Summer 2012 Collection. Painterly representations of Botticellian figures, reclining resplendently, inspires a collection that pairs peony prints, contrast tones of lace on lace and a summery sheerness . In addition, modernist sculpted sets give edginess to the collection that provides a typically provocative contrast to the prettiness in the range.
Spring 2012
Signature Agent Provocateur pink and black returns with a soft lacey capsule collection: Candace with a bust-boosting balconette bra, Baby with cheeky scalloped trim and Daina with painterly peony print. The floaty Daina gown in billowing chiffon is a departure for Agent Provocateur.
The Spring collection plays with contrasting colours. Sprinkle pairs pop colour polka dots with a black opaque and sheer base. Rowana layers fuchsia lace onto purple sheer mesh, in a design that boosts the curve of the bust and visually slims the tummy. The surprising combination of emerald and purple layered lace in Ariel brings a fresh and fun edge to the line.
The high-waisted big knicker is celebrated this season in both lacy and graphic lines. Sheer Mercy includes both a big brief and a deep roll-on with a 1960s-style deep elasticised trim. It is ideal to sculpt the feminine form with a comfortable amount of support. Shandey offers a dramatic big brief and cutaway bra with a modernist edginess.
Summer 2012
A bold and vibrant 60’s pop yellow brings a surprising punch to summer’s palette. Rizzo is a full cup lace set including a statement corselette. AW11’s bestselling Lorna is transformed in sheer azure blue with fuchsia ribbon, piping and trims. Konchita is trimmed in dark pink appliqué lace , which trims this set like sugar frosting on a cupcake. Continuing the appliqué theme, Petronella sees nude silk panels adorned with black lacy embroidered flowers for the most feminine of styles.
A capsule collection within Summer 2012 has been created for customers demanding Agent Provocateur’s most flattering styles in a nude palette. Katherine, a curve-enhancing set only available in black, in now re-imagined in a luxuriously heavy nude silk. Vintage inspired gathered appliqué makes Honesty a sculpting Basque with a balletic feel. Finally, Sidonie transfers from AW11 into a Summer colour way of ivory and ballet pink.
