LESS IS more as far as lingerie goes next season.

Bikinis and diminutive drawers adorned the circular catwalk at the bi-annual Harrogate Lingerie and Swimwear Exhibition, North Yorkshire, promising a racier line of underwear designs for spring and summer 2002. This season's 200 exhibitors included companies such as Playtex, Gossard, Triumph, Lepel and Pretty Polly alongside newcomers such as FleurT, Charlotte Trevelyan and Little Kiss. Everything from the latest push-up bras, breast enhancers to lingerie, swimwear, nightwear and African Kikoys was on show at the Harrogate International Centre.
