The separate pieces are ultra feminine, with alluring detailing. Bottoms frequent plenty of frills and ruching, topped with large silk bows and come-hither seeming. Bras are adorned with [lace draping](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parade-that-lace), elegantly skimming the bodice. The demi cup is fiercely sensual and lined with Swarovski crystallized trims. Pieces are rendered from 100% French silk chiffons and satins, allowing the most [luxurious lingerie experience](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bloomers-intimates). The lingerie line is inspired by 50s icons of elegance and grace, such as Audrey Hepburn. The classic and timeless glamor is combined with contemporary design, resulting in comfortable and chic garments. While the lingerie is quite sensual, it holds a certain subtlety. This subtlety lends the look a super sweetness. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 89% | Activity: 90% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Retro Lingerie:** Lingerie lines inspired by retro styles - **Vintage Silhouettes:** Introducing vintage designs and silhouettes in lingerie - **Luxurious Fabrics:** Creating luxurious lingerie with expensive fabrics ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion and Apparel:** Retro lingerie could rejuvenate the fashion and apparel industry - **Textiles Industry:** Creating lingerie using luxurious fabrics can be trendy in the textiles industry - **E-commerce Industry:** Online e-commerce sites can leverage retro-lingerie trends to enhance their brands to attract potential shoppers ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Romantic Kitschy Lingerie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/for-love-and-lemons-1.md) - [Ultra-Light Intimates Silhouettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/feather-lace.md) - [Delicate Bridal Lingerie Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bridal-lingerie-line.md) - [Dreamy Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frankies-bikinis-keepsakes-collection.md) - [Valentine's Day Intimates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-lemons.md) - [Romantic Size-Inclusive Intimates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gabi-gregg.md) - [Whimsical Spring Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025.md) - [Liberating Lingerie Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zhilyova.md) - [Office-Themed Lingerie Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-desking.md)
