The history of us

Founded in 2004 by Creative director Chloe Hamblen, Lascivious is the first and last word in experimental, directional luxury lingerie.

Fueled by a passion for the aesthetics of sex and a flair for sophisticated, modern design Chloe began designing, making and selling from her bedroom.

Fast forward to 2009 and Lascivious has evolved into a brand synonomous with cutting edge ideas and desirability, featuring high upon the wishlists of men and women wanting fun and unique lingerie with which to empower and seduce.

Now stocked in boutiques worldwide including Barneys in New York and Coco De Mer London, the brand is constantly growing with the addition of new lines, collaborations and accessories.

At present the lingerie collections are divided into five main categories; Latest, Classics, Showgirls, Bridal and Luxury Basics.

The Latest Collections are at the forefront of the brands image and allow creative freedom and exploration, constantly changing by the season to reflect current trends and demand.

Classics feature the most loved styles, and allows them to be accessible all year round.

Showgirls is the fun and feisty "anything goes" collection where artistic license and colour come together to form new interpretations of burlesque styles, translating old ideas into contemporary creations.

Bridal is for the girl who wants her wedding night to go with a bang! A great selection of romantic feminine pieces and strong smooth silhouettes that ensure the perfect end to the perfect big day.

Luxury Basics represents the idea that beautiful lingerie should be worn for the every day and so detail and shape are key to this collection of sexy seperates which focus on fit and comfort.

2008 saw new additions to the team and a new home for Lascivious, allowing for the continued dedication to providing the highest possible standard of innovative luxury design and product for its customers.

"Lascivious is easily one of the best British lingerie labels - combine the label's exquisite quality and sex appeal with Chloe's incredible creativity and marketing prowess, and you have one hell of a package! We love to write about Lascivious - they always deliver an amazing collection."

"We can't work out why we find lingerie label Lascivious so exciting. Perhaps you can help. Is it the hint of bonded insouciance encapsulated by the centrally placed strap on this enchanting bodysuit? The net layering peeking over the top of the bra? Designer Chloe Hamblen – who has worked for Agent Provocateur, Myla and innovative designer Marlies Dekkers – has been tipped to wrest Britain's lingerie crown from Agent Provocateur. Given the evidence, we agree."

"We love Lascivious for many reasons and here I list a few… Firstly Chloe sparkles with creativity and sweetness, secondly she hand stitches her whole range which is exceptionally well made, but mostly because her designs are so unique and always incredibly sexy. There is a sense of character to her pieces that inspires the sexual imagination and empowers who ever chooses to wear them."

"Feast your eyes on the tasteful and beautifully designed set of erotic illustrated cards by Lascivious. The independent lingerie company, has employed the services of some of the best illustration talent around to produce a set of saucy, seductive cards that, while they might make you blush, do so in a rather sophisticated way."

"London lingerie temptress Lascivious boasts a collection that rocks with exquisite dirtiness. When not kitting out ingénue-of-the-moment Jessica Alba for our recent cover story, Lascivious has been feverishly injecting a certain lewd excellence into Arenas bedroom. And with a pedigree including tutelage at Agent Provocateur, Alexander McQueen and La Perla, the designs of founder Chloe Hamblen offer a knowing sophistication that neatly counterbalances the outrageous sexuality."

"The name Chloe Hamblen probably doesn't mean anything to you, but it should - as a designer of some of Britain's finest lingerie for Lascivious, she's done as much to improve mens quality of life as anti-anxiety drugs and that guy that came up with the internet"

"Chloe Hamblen's Showgirls line is my choice for playful fun"

"Here is lingerie that men and women can enjoy in equal measure. As luxurious as it is exotic, as flattering as it is decadent, Lascivious is guaranteed to have you and your partner drooling with pleasure. This is sexy underwear that is never vulgar or brash; that worships the female form without cheapening it. In fact Lascivious may just be the perfect seduction weapon known to womankind."
