Charlotte Olympia x Agent Provocateur to launch capsule collection

London-based designer Charlotte Olympia Dellal has teamed up with one of her favourite lingerie brands, Agent Provocateur, to create a capsule collection for the label.

Fit for any Charlotte Olympia fan, the founder of the luxury footwear brand translated her fondness for vintage glamour into three lingerie sets, complete with three complementing shoe styles. Naturally, the styles incorporate signatures from both labels, such as Charlotte Olympia’s iconic Kitty Face and Web pattern, as well as silhouettes from Agent Provocateur.

Although it is not the first time the two brands have worked together - Charlotte Dellal created two shoe styles with the luxury lingerie brand in 2012 - it is the first time the designer dabbled at lingerie design. A long-standing fan of the lingerie brand, Charlotte Dellal found the two worlds of footwear and lingerie have more in common than first believed.

“They’re both technical. They have to fit, and they have to function,” said Dellal in a joint interview with Agent Provocateur’s Creative Director Sarah Shotton with WWD. “They’re very personal, and have the power to make you feel a certain way.”

Shotton added that she believed that Dellal was the best person to design this particular collection: “Charlotte has the best Agent Provocateur collection I have ever seen. She has a better archive than we do. She was very hands-on during the process, and has amazing taste and style — and understands the brand’s sense of humor.”

The resulting collection includes footwear that can be worn both in the bedroom and out as well as styles for all shapes ranging from high waisted briefs with removable suspenders, a silk teddy and the lingerie’s brand Trixie G-string. Other accessories from the collection include a headscarf, silk satin slippers, a bag and sleeping mask in the shape of a cat face as well as a set of three briefs featuring Charlotte Olympia’s Kitty Face, nicknamed ‘ménage a trois.’

Each item bears the Charlotte Olympia Hearts Agent Provocateur logo and the capsule collection will be packaged in a bespoke shoebox and dust bag. Prices for the collection range from 95 pounds for the brief set to 445 pounds for the stocking boots.

The collection is set to launch on January 18, exclusively at Charlotte Olympia and Agent Provocateur stores, as well as online, and at Net-a-porter.com - however Charlotte Olympia will only offer shoes from the collection, while the set of three briefs will launch in March.
