We brought you the news back in May that international supermodel Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was to design a lingerie collection for Marks & Spencers and now, here is your chance to take a sneak peek at the 33-piece collection.

In the promo video, Rosie explains why lingerie is so important to her,

"I love everything about lingerie. I've always had a thing for it. It's completely feminine. It's something for women and it's ours, and it's a little secret."

The 25-year-old beauty landed the cover of Elle’s September issue and reveals how she always wanted to design but ended up falling into modelling in the interim. Rosie states that in her first foray into designing, she strove to strike a balance between young, modern, classic, sexy and feminine, as ultimately she wants it to appeal to everybody.

The collection features pretty separates, silky cover ups and simple but sexy three-piece sets in French lace, Swiss-designed embroidery and luxurious silks. The collection also retains M&S worthy price points between £12.50 and £65.

Obviously Rosie’s experience of 9 years modelling underwear came in handy, as she told Elle “I have a solid understanding of what makes beautiful lingerie and how good quality lingerie should make you feel… My goal was to create a luxurious collection which could flatter women of all ages and sizes, inspiring confidence and making women feel gorgeous in their lingerie.”

However, Rosie has also been an avid collector of vintage slips, corsets, kimonos and dressing gowns over the year and her passion for well-designed pieces is evident.  The collection took over a year to come to fruition, a time Rosie spent finding inspiration in vintage shops and flea markets in London, LA and Paris.

Rosie says she was particularly drawn to the opulent elegancy of the Twenties era and the golden age of cinema; evident in the intricate deco-inspired embroidery. The down-to-earth model also spent time consulting with friends and family members to understand what women really want from their undergarments.

 The Rosie for Autograph collection lands in store and online on August 30th. Bra sizes range from 30-40, cup-sizes from A to E (with selected styles available up to G.) Briefs range from sizes 8 to 20.
