white house michelle obama lingerie
The First Lady – better known for shopping at more modestly-priced High Street stores – along with the Queen of Qatar, Sheikha Mozah, closed off part of Madison Avenue to spend time in the luxury lingerie shop. Their purchases contributed to a market-spanking 12.5pc lift in sales.
When they closed Madison Ave, was it for Michelle’s safety, or the tamale vendors?
Agent Provocateur, which is styled on vintage Hollywood glamour, sells handmade Calais lace corsets that sell for up to £900, which could ruffle the feathers of more than just President Barack Obama in an election year.
My guess is there is very little she can do to get a “rise” out of Barry. £900… Oh yea, there is a joke there!
Gary Hogarth, Agent Provocateur’s chief executive, refused to be drawn on the store’s closely kept “secret client list”. But he admitted the brand had attracted a high number of “unexpected famous names” – especially in the US, where sales have overtaken the UK.
Is she is paying by the piece, the acre, or by the bolt?
…“This is a real luxury brand,” says Mr Hogarth. “But now it is also being run with a strong business discipline. That has meant a lot of changes to the finance team, merchandising and production and planning. It also means negotiating on every rental contract – which is more than possible in this market.”
Does anyone need a new barf bag? At some point haven’t you made enough lingerie?
…”The glamour of the AP brand is really powerful – it has a luxurious quality, that means people have a sense of walking away with a special purchase even when they are buying a pair of knickers,” says Mr Hogarth.
“Would you like us to wrap the shipping container for you Mrs Obama?”
With a bit more “research” I found that much of their lingerie is made in Romania and of synthetic materials. (Some of the best research ev’ah!) Even better, there are actually Middle East chains of this store. I am not kidding, they have stores in Qatar, Bahrain, and Dubai. Here is the link.
