Novel-turned-movie "Fifty Shades of Grey" won't be in theaters until February 2015 but promoters of the flick are busy stirring up interest in the film, as if fans of the E.L. James-penned book need to be whipped into excitement for the screening.
Recently, news has it that a lingerie collection inspired by the raunchy trilogy is said to land in stores later this month.
"Following the successful launch of its debut collection in September, the festive Fifty Shades of Grey Lingerie and Sleepwear for women range is about to land in Tesco," MailOnline reported. "Designed in collaboration with the steamy author herself, the collection is inspired by the global best-selling trilogy."
The said range includes 19 new pieces, "including logo sleep-masks and sheer lingerie in jewel tones."
We're predicting that this collection will be selling like hotcakes. We won't be surprised if the items go out of stock before the year ends.
"For the Christmas collection we wanted dark and sensual pieces with a hint of decadence," E.L. James said, as noted by Lingerie Insight. "We went for rich, deep red and midnight black to create a forbidden allure, and used signature embroidered elements and silk trimmings to add a touch of festive luxury."
"Designing the collection was a very organic process. It was important that every piece should be distinctly Fifty Shades, so we included iconic elements such as the Fifty Shades mask in the lace embroidery for the Seduction range, and a crystal key charm for the silk Temptation," the author added, as quoted by MailOnline.
The collection includes pieces with phrases like "no peeping" printed on it. There are also plunge and balconette bras in the mix, with matching thongs. The undergarments have a very budget-friendly price range, going from $8-$40 apiece.
The collection will be available in Tesco stores on November 24.
This "50 Shades"-inspired lingerie range is not the first of its kind. One had been produced late in 2013, when the author collaborated with Swedish retailer KappAhl, The Mirror said.
Then, in September this year, another range was released by the author in collaboration with Tesco as part of its F&F clothing line. Cosmopolitan UK called the range "surprisingly affordable" and "sexy."
Looks like the author had managed to fine tune her designing chops. Will she outdo herself in the upcoming collection?
In other updates, the first novel in the "50 Shades" trilogy has gotten a cover makeover. It now "has a steamy hot movie tie-in cover" showing "Anastasia Steele being pushed against a wall," Just Jared said.
