Pistol Panties Pops Up at Selfridges

Sexy swimwear brand, Pistol Panties, who manage to combine a hip London edge with Californian cool, last night launched a pop up shop in Selfridges 3rd floor lingerie area, highlighting their 'Western Heroine Meets Psychedelic '70s collection' for S/S'12.

The highlight parts of the collection featured '50s type daisy prints with enhanced cleavage swimsuits, floral print bikinis with frill pants, Aztec print sexy strapless swimsuits with large brass ring detailing and lots of floaty chiffon long and short kaftans with plunge neck sequin detailing - the ultimate in Bohemian cool for St Tropez, Portofino or Zuma beach.

Daphne Guinness' niece, model Mary Charteris rocked a cutaway Pistol Panties all-in-one under cut off denim shorts showing that these pieces have adaptability for street wear, so long as you have the body and the chutzpah to wear it. Mary Dj'ed a high Summer set featuring a mix of '60s sounds with modern day pop while owner of Pistol Panties, Deborah Fleming, charmed everyone.

The mood was infectiously high as people drunk prosseco, ate popsicles and Jo Seph's gourmet popcorn and even tried out quick St Tropez tans so they could get more in the mood for high Summer jinks. The unseasonal heatwave helped, of course. Clever Pistol Panties timed it just right.
