New Launch of Penthouse Lingerie Site

Buffalo, New York (January 26th, 2009): Penthouse Lingerie is delighted to introduce its brand new vibrantly exhilarating website: www.penthouselingerie.com to enhance the company's latest lingerie line which resembles a revamped and modernized 50's pin-up girl style.

With each of these collections portraying a fun unique taste, Penthouse Lingerie has stepped away from the typical lingerie scheme to add a little extra flavor to unleash the inner Pet in everyone.

The Sexy Pet collection uses a classic lingerie color combination of red and black in a cherry print knit. The grouping has a retro feel and is designed to appeal to generally a younger crowd. The garments are feminine and inspired by the vintage hot rods of the 1950's.

The Wild Pet group combines black wet look knit with a leopard print in a red, ivory and black color scheme. The group has a more edgy feel and appeals to a more wild woman. Inspired by the Hollywood bad girl whose "bad" behavior delights the press and public. The garments within the group range from risqué bedroom wear to pieces that can be styles to wear out to the club.

The Sweet Pet collection combines the colors pink, sea-foam green and lavender tied together in kitschy cupcake print cotton. Overall, this collection is targeted towards the ultimate girly girl. It features details such as bows, ruffles and ribbon ties. In keeping with the pin-up theme, this collection captures the “Cheesecake” type pinup that has come to represent the alluring side of the girl next door.

The Naughty Pet collection has a palate in black, pink and red within a tattoo heart print knit. The designers combined the eye catching print with black denim to create a rock 'n' roll collection. The grouping will appeal to women of all ages. The collection includes sexy separates and some pieces that are suited to wear as both lingerie and steamy street wear. Details like eyelets, lacing and handcuff charms are reminiscent of the aesthetics of the glam rockers in the decadent 80's.
