Models dressed in designs from seven of France’s top lingerie houses walked the runway at Artscape Wychwood Barns Wednesday for the third annual "Secrets of Seduction" Fashion Show. The event—presented by Lingerie Française through its export council Promincor—drew 600 attendees, including media representatives, retailers, and V.I.P. guests, to the renovated streetcar repair yard.

“Our production company proposed this venue, and it was perfect. This is an old building that has been renovated and is brand new. It is very trendy and very artistic. We love it," said Patrice Argain, managing director of the French Federation of Lingerie. Argain noted that the event is intended to raise the profile of French lingerie companies in Canada. “Our purpose is to have the largest media organizations here to let Canadian women know about French lingerie.” MORE >>

In recent years, Bang & Olufsen has developed a reputation for collaborating with like-minded high-end brands to host unique product launches and elaborate parties for clients. The electronics company, which relies on Beyond Good & Evil Productions to manage and produce its events, has previously partnered with Louis Vuitton, Lamborghini, and Trump International. "We've started to get a following," said Jordan Korenzvit, owner of Bang & Olufsen Bloor Street.

On Thursday evening, Bang & Olufsen joined forces with Hästens, Audi, and Grey Goose to unveil the audio company's new White Collection at a cocktail party for more than 300 guests. Dubbed "An Evening in Heaven," the event was held at the Hästens luxury bed showroom in the Distillery District. “This is our fifth event of this type. We do it every year or two," said Korenzvit. “We’re showing off our white collection, so white led us to the theme of heaven, and the beds at Hästens remind you of heaven." (They also have five-figure prices.) MORE >>

Lingerie Boutique Opens With Burlesque Dancers

Inviting a burlesque dancer to model lingerie in the window is a surefire way to attract attention when you're the new kid on the block. Jennifer Klein, owner of lingerie boutique Secrets From Your Sister, did just that Thursday at the official opening of her midtown location at Yonge and Eglinton. Kitty Neptune of the Scandelles posed in the shop window while guests mingled at a cocktail party inside. "We like to have fun with lingerie," Klein said.

Trixie Beaver—also of the Scandelles—and three of Klein's friends modeled items from the collection beside the main bar, set up in one of the fitting rooms at the rear of the store. Servers offered a selection of fruity martinis made with Effen Vodka and passed hors d'oeuvres like tomato and bocconcini skewers from Stuart + Saladino Catering. A store employee, who goes by the name the Countess, served as the DJ. Sponsors included Empreinte, Fantasie, Freya, and Pleasure State. —Susan O'Neill
