Stella McCartney who has her own lingerie label recently spoke to WWD about the importance of correct fitting lingerie. Stella McCartney who has her own intimates collection recently spoke to WWD about the importance of lingerie in a woman's wardrobe - according to Stella it's the foundation of every woman's wardrobe.

She told WWD: "Lingerie really is an important standpoint of a wardrobe and it has a big impact on how you wear your clothes and what you wear on top of lingerie."

Stella says she is "obsessed" with lingerie and takes it very seriously, unlike other ready-to-wear designers. "There aren't many rtw designers who take lingerie seriously, but it really complements my rtw collection. Lingerie is more than an interest to me - I'm slightly obsessed with it. We are working closely with our rtw in colour ranges and we always bring in prints. Sometimes it crosses out the other way with hardware and gold ring details that adorn straps, which I think is beautiful. Lingerie is almost like sportswear in a sense. It can bridge the gap and can be something very luxurious and feminine, but at the same time can be highly technical, and I find that really interesting."

Last week the designer announced plans to show her RTW collection at the Somerset House catwalk event in February 2012 as part of a 'special fashion presentation' that will tie in with the opening of a World of Stella exhibition in Selfridges, a new fragrance launch, and the opening of a new Stella McCartney store, her second atelier in London.
