What Katie Did Lingerie

Founded in 1999 What Katie Did specialise in lingerie and corsetry inspired by silver screen sirens of the '40s and '50s.
Their collections can be purchased at www.whatkatiedid.com, or in their stores based in London UK and Hollywood USA.
We’ve always been big fans of Viva Van Story and when we heard that she was working on a book titled ‘Sheer’ we couldn’t wait to see it. It’s full of saucy images of pin ups in sheer or semi sheer lingerie which surely should make it a must have for fans of What Katie Did. The image below featuring our Harlow Bullet Bra and Suspender Belt is probably the only non sheer image in the book, which is lucky as otherwise we’d have problems finding a family safe one to use! We’ve teamed up with Viva’s publishers; Korero Books, who just happen to be based in London to host a little launch party in our Portobello Road boutique. There will be a tableau of pin ups, including Ruby True, a British model who appears in the book, all wearing What Katie Did lingerie which is featured in Sheer. So please join us for an afternoon of pin up, cocktails and cake - along with a generous discount on both Sheer and the lingerie featured in the book. Sunday 21st October, 3-5pm. What Katie Did, 26 Portobello Green, 281 Portobello Road, London W10 5TZ.

It was Vogue’s Fashion Night Out a couple of weeks ago and although our boutiques were unable to participate this year, our lingerie did! London burlesque troupe The Folly Mixtures added some glamour to FNO at London’s Burlington Arcade. The Burlington Arcade is my favourite arcades in London, full of smaller luxe brands (including Lulu Guinness), it really gives you an idea of how glamorous shopping in Knightsbridge was in years past. Maybe seeing these pictures will give the Portobello Green Arcade some inspiration! The Folly Mixtures wear our Harlow Bullet Bra and Suspender Belt customized with rhinestones.

The third in our Miss Miranda preview series - and my favourites - images by photographer Luci Alice, lingerie by What Katie Did and shoes by Fabulously Fetish. See more at The Fetishistas website. Below Miss Miranda wears our Art Deco inspired Marlene Lingerie with Full Contrast Fully Fashioned Stockings. For those of you who remember our fully fashioned stocking drama of a few weeks ago, you’ll be pleased to hear that the factory is back up and running and currently working on some Full Contrast Fully Fashioned Stockings for us which will be here later this year.

At What Katie Did we don’t get many red carpet appearances so we were thrilled to see Kat Graham show a hint of our Josephine Bullet Bra at last weeks MTV Video Music Awards. Kat Graham is one of the new breed of multi talented peformers, moving from music to dancing to acting (Bonnie Bennett, The Vampire Diaries) effortlessly. At the VMAs she teamed our cheetah print Josephine Bullet Bra with a Jean Paul Gaultier suit, which is rather apt as Jean Paul is famous for his love of the cone bra too.
