Agent Provocateur unveils erotic spring campaign inspired by a FOOT FETISH photographer

YANKING a pair of tights off your feet isn’t usually considered the sexiest of acts.
But Agent Provocateur has photographed a supermodel doing just that for its bizarre (yet still somewhat erotic) spring/summer 2017 campaign.
The lingerie giant has taken inspiration from the work of foot fetish photographer Elmer Batters.
Elmer found fame in the 1970s by creating arty images of glamorous women with an emphasis on stockings, legs and feet.

One racy snap sees the 25-year-old Romanian beauty pull a pair of sheer black stockings off her feet while lounging around in a low-cut lace bra and high-waisted knickers.
In another, she lies on her back while wrestling off a pair of yellow suspenders.
Andreea lies face down a black two-piece adorned with silver embellishment while pulling off vibrant purple hosiery.
The campaign was styled by British stylist Jane How in a studio in London - not far from the brand’s first Soho store.
The spirit of Sarah Shotton’s SS17 collection incorporates vamp and seductive fabrics, and a nod to the 70’s colourful, playful accents.
The campaign features the key styles from the range including Angelica, a rework of best-selling crop top Annoushka which features stretch mesh layered with a bondage lace ribbon.
The Sofia waistcoat bra in black lace added a masculine vibe, and an exquisite nude chiffon Cora set was trimmed with French hand appliqued black leavers lace.
The Silva set brings a bold metallic accent with silver-foiled embroidery leaf print in a high-legged big knicker with a crop top bra.
This season’s favourite Cherry motif is visible on the black tulle Nabina set.
The Seraphina body in red is paired with vibrant orange stockings and will be a “Valentine’s must”, according to the brand.
In December, Agent Provocateur launched a new Whatsapp service that allowed couples to chat with a store adviser in order to find the best lingerie.
A former sales girl for the label has previously revealed what happens behind the scenes, including people having sex in the changing room and politicians shopping for small for their partners.
