In 2019, British lingerie house Coco de Mer unveiled a capsule collection created in collaboration with Playboy – a partnership that felt almost inevitable for a brand so fluent in erotic aesthetics. The designers took their cue from the Playboy “After Hours” editorial, a celebration of hedonistic nocturnal pleasures, and translated its spirit into lingerie. The result is a concept built on chic, playfulness, tongue‑in‑cheek glamour and unapologetic sex appeal.
Playboy’s signature palette – red, blue, black and silver – appears in silhouettes that are provocative without ever crossing the line into caricature, cut from beautifully executed fabrics. The range covers all the essentials: bras, soft bras, suspender belts, panties and bodysuits. For us, the black Gilded Heart set, with its intricate lace and dramatic lines, is where the collection’s mood comes together most perfectly.
