Agent Provocateur‘s F/W 2012 Soiree collection is glamorously gothic; each piece is rich in embellishment and adornment. Extravagant lace trims, heavy beading and intricate detailing are all abundant. I am sure that Santa Claus will be delighted to bring you those goodies…

CORDELIYAH KIMONO

Absolutely stunning are two lace sets, ‘Cordeliyah’ and ‘Damira’, that both include a full length gown with a Victorian flare. ‘Cordeliyah’ is made in elegant navy silk and navy French Leavers lace, while ‘Damira’ is created in sweeping weightless black silk chiffon.

DAMIRA GOWN

DANIKA PLAYSUIT & PASTIES

Who wouldn’t like to get tangled up in this mysteriously sexy Swarovski-encrusted playsuit ‘Danika’?! Delicate shimmering crystal chains romantically drape over your curves and the seductive stretch black taffeta straps give a sense of entrapment. Luxurious French cobweb lace detailing finish this decidedly dark look.
