Reflections of the ’30’s with the soft, silky feel of Light Touch by Berlei and the subtle, sensuous illumination of Price’s candles. `Venetian’, the classic candle style, from Price’s is in 24 different colours and a variety of sizes; from 61p. Light Touch has two styles in White Cloud or Blue Angel, and sizes 34-36a, 34-38b, 34-38c. [Above] shows Plunge’ a deeply plunging bra, £1.95 … made in Qiana, silky, smooth—epitomising that ’30’s feeling.
If you have never felt silk next to your skin, Berlei recreates that sensuous feel with a new range of bras called Light Touch. They are made in a luxurious material, Qiana. Silkier than silk, Light Touch gives you that ’30’s feeling; soft, saucy and sure. Price’s candles echo that mood beautifully, with their subtle, caressing light shimmering around you.
A stunner of an advertorial, sadly with no photographer credit, for Berlei bras with a stunning Seventies-does-Deco aesthetic. Which, in turn, signposts something rather more familiar from later Seventies into Eighties imagery. Whoever this photographer was, I think they were very ahead of the curve (if you’ll pardon the pun!).
