Take a journey into the exotic hidden Hawaii and experience all that is sexy and seductive of Elle Macpherson Intimates Summer 2012.

Taking inspiration from the prints of the 50’s, from island botanicals, lush jungles to islander tattoos, this Summer sees the most adventurous collection of prints that compliments this season’s fashion love of everything tropical.

As Creative Director, Elle Macpherson explains, “my latest collection is a compilation of sketches, paintings and experiences transformed into lingerie through the use of print, embroidery, lace and styling.

“I really love this new collection, with beautiful new prints and colours, well designed lingerie really changes the shape of your body under clothes so hips, waist and breasts look the best they can. It's the underpinning of everything,” explains Elle.

Dive into the calm blue waters of Tropical Paradise with this retro print of palm trees on deserted islands trimmed with the earthy tone of sepia lace. This collection covers a figure enhancing balconnet bra or a bodysuit perfect for wearing as outerwear to a babydoll dress and lounge pants for those lazy days on holidays or around the house.

Take an Island Cruise with seductive tropical flowers against a black backdrop on stretch satin with seductive lace trims or for the ultimate in seduction, Palm Tree Breeze showcases a black stretch mesh with two tone embroidery, creating part floral part tattoo exotic.

Stepping out of the tropical flora and Elle takes inspiration from the local’s distinctive tattoos with Island Tattoo for her afterwear collection featuring Camisole, Shorts, Lounge Pants in stretch satin and a Long Chemise luxuriously boarded in lace.

Whether heading to the tropics or having a tropical moment at home, Elle Macpherson Intimates showcases an exotic collection to take you on this journey.
