In addition to his successes on "both sides" of the runway, Pejic is booking both menswear and womenswear campaigns, and well-paying catalogue jobs. His latest is for Dutch retail chain Hema, modeling their women's sexy lingerie — including Hema's "mega push-up bra," which must have mega properties indeed, because Pejic has no breasts to "push-up." His Sydney-based agent spoke with Australian fashion blog Frockwriter, saying the ads "[are] revolutionary ... I've never known a man to do a women's lingerie campaign before."
Pejic looks very pretty in the pictures, but of course — and such is the "power" of his androgynous features — he's likely to be mistaken for a female model by those who don't know who's who in modeling right now. However! The shoot is already becoming controversial in the Netherlands, where, realizing this is not a woman, citizens worry the ads will send a negative message to young women on a never-ending quest to get skinnier.
How Pejic came to be working what appears to be a solid B-cup is answered easily enough (gym socks, chicken cutlets, small balloons, etc.), but the question of what message this sends to Hema's lingerie's buyers is more awkward — and seems certain to foster a new round of opinion pieces about how lazy (and often, gay male) fashion designers only want to design women's clothing for boy-ish frames. But is it more problematic for girls with body-image issues to see a male body in ads for women's lingerie, or on a fake one entirely? And why are these even viable options when, gosh, there are a lot of women out there with undies-campaign-worthy physiques?

Scarlett Johansson Strips to Sexy Lingerie, Talks With a British Accent in Under the Skin Movie Trailer
In a recently released trailer for her upcoming flick Under the Skin, the 29-year-old actress shows off her sexy lingerie while playing a dangerous and seductive alien that preys on hitchhikers using a human body.
The trailer starts out with a celestial image of a planet. A dark-haired Johansson is then seen riding down an escalator, browsing some clothes in a store then putting on makeup in a hand-held mirror while riding in the passenger seat of a car.Johansson chats with the male driver before she suggests they head back to her place. Back home, she strips down to nothing but a black bra and panties while enticing the man as he wades through a dark liquid.
Among the many other things shown in the dark and semi-confusing trailer are Johansson walking down a windy beach followed by a man standing alone in the snow.The trailer ends with a person engulfed in flames running through a forest. How's that for drama?

Selena Gomez Poses In Lingerie In Sizzling ‘Stars Dance’ Outtake
Selena Gomez almost broke the internet when she updated her Instagram with a fuzzy pic underneath a curtain. Fans mused that she *could* be naked and the blogs immediately started buzzing. I wonder how they will react to an even sexier outtake from her Stars Dance photo shoot, which surfaced online today (March 27).
The 21-year-old looks even more gorgeous than usual in the sizzling pic, posing in black sexy lingerie and a silk robe. The shot is still completely G-rated in a world where Miley Cyrus shows her breasts more often than her driver’s license but it’s definitely on the sexy side of things for Selena. Maybe she can re-use this still for her secret project?

Arsenic & Vieilles Dentelles
Sometimes good things come from being bad. Designer Laure Hurlet’s self-described greediness for fashion inspired her to create and launch her lingerie brand Arsenic & Vieilles Dentelles (A&VD). The Belgium-born designer launched the brand in 2012 and most recently showcased A&VD at last month’s Lingerie Fashion Week.
Arsenic & Vieilles Dentelles debut collection – Eat Your Little Pea – is steeped in the designer’s appreciation for Slow Fashion and offers lingerie fanatics a high-quality collection that is artful, sensuous and designed to be loved.
Laure adds: Arsenic & Vieilles Dentelles is a Lingerie label that believes sexy lingerie is more than a clothing — it’s a second skin, a real fashion accessory that acts as a beauty product within which women can have fun, express their personality and reveal their own sensuality.
Visitors to Lingerie Fashion Week had a chance to see the collection and meet Laure and her team in person at the event’s “One’s to Watch Exhibition”. The brand’s website showcases the collection of bras, knickers, thongs, garters, suspenders and A&VD’s very own Shibari-inspired rope.
Every A&VD intimates style is playfully named after a species of Pea and we’re sure every one of our readers will fall in love with the brand’s Mushy Pea suspender made from delicate black silk mesh and decorated with little black dots on the front. All of Arsenic & Vieilles Dentelles’ items are made from high end, environmentally safe materials and crafted in Belgium.

Is Agent Provocateur's 1950s housewife SS14 campaign sexy or sexist?
We can't decide if we love or loathe Agent Provocateur's SS14 suburban housewife sexy lingerie campaign. You're going to have to help us decide...
When we first spotted Agent Provocateur's SS14 suburban housewife lingerie campaign our brains started screaming SEXIST. But now we're not sure whether it's brilliantly devious or annoyingly out-dated?
The official party stance says, "Encapsulating the false utopian world that is synonymous with the suburban housewife of the 1950s, globally renowned photographer Miles Aldridge brings to life the distorted reality of the Stepford Wife..."Okay, so it's all about telling the stereotypes to do one. Or is it all about 'encapsulating' the perfect doting wife? We're confused.
Creative director Sarah Shotton says the campaign embodies, "the pristine and glossy 1950's housewife. Our campaign girl has it all, she's a lady in the street and a wildcat in the bedroom and the collection mirrors her pretty perfection."

Plus-Size Reality Show Winner Lands Sexy Lingerie Campaign
We’ll be honest, we don’t tend to expect too much of America’s Next Top Model winners. We love a telegenic crew of dramaculous 20-somethings as much as the rest of America, and we always enjoy watching their crazy photoshoot challenges and hope the best for them after they win, but we’re always shocked to see them after their season wraps. After the second or third cycle, we started to feel a little awkward whenever Tyra Banks mentioned the name of the show. Calling it America’s Next Top Model just seemed disingenuous, given that no actual top models were actually created.
But now one of her winners has a legit campaign. Whitney Thompson, the first plus-size model to claim victory on a season of ANTM back in cycle 10, landed a sexy lingerie campaign for Panache Lingerie‘s line, Sculptress, which has band sizes from 36 to 46 and cup sizes that run from D to J.“I feel feminine and sexy when I wear the pieces, which is important for me and other curvy women,” Thompson said. “It’s about time we had a collection like this for the real woman.”Boo! -12 points for trotting out the tired “real women” argument. Kate Moss is just as much of a “real woman” as Thompson, they’re just women who have different body types. And all body types should be able to be clad in fancy lingerie if their owners so desire.
Thompson does look mega sexy in the campaign, though her hair is sporting such an odd dye job we wondered if Tyra showed up and forced her through another weird makeover. You could cut glass with those cheekbones or eyebrows, though, and her boobs look fantastic, which is a good advertisement for the bra she’s wearing.
“You can really tell that they understand the fit,” she said of the Sculptress line. “I don’t care how cute a bra is if it doesn’t fit me properly! Each piece in the collection is a comfortable fit with great support, and they’re beautiful.”

Lingerie trade ban has Russia's knickers in a twist
MOSCOW — A trade ban on lacy lingerie has Russian consumers and their neighbors with their knickers in a twist.
The ban will outlaw any underwear containing less than 6 percent cotton from being imported, made, or sold in Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan. And it has struck a chord in societies where La Perla and Victoria's Secret are panty paradises compared with Soviet-era cotton underwear, which was often about as flattering and shapely as drapery.
On Sunday, 30 female protesters in Kazakhstan were arrested while wearing lace underwear on their heads and shouting "Freedom to panties!"
The ban in those three countries was first outlined in 2010 by the Eurasian Economic Commission, which regulates the customs union, and it won't go into effect until July 1. But a consumer outcry against it already is reaching a fever pitch.
Photos comparing sexy modern underwear to Soviet goods began spreading Sunday on Facebook and Twitter as women and men railed against the proposed changes.
