Video queen Kylie stays undie cover

Feb 5 2003 By The Journal

Pop star Kylie Minogue showed off her underwear yesterday - at the launch of her new lingerie collection.

The singer has designed the sexy Love Kylie range and unveiled it at the Selfridges store in central London.

Unfortunately for her male fans, she opted not to model the underwear herself, although she did claim to be wearing it under her silver leather dress.

Instead she left it to four leggy models who raised temperatures on a chilly winter morning by posing in skimpy bras and knickers.

Kylie, 34, does wear the lingerie in a saucy video which will be playing in a window of the Selfridges store on Oxford Street.

The Aussie star said she had enjoyed making the video, explaining: "All I had to do was jump up and down in my underpants."

The range is made up of six different collections called Vamp, Seduce, Sheer Escape, Fever, Diva and Cheekies.

The styles go from sweet to seductive and include black fishnet bras, baby doll slips and knickers with peek-a-boo keyholes.

Kylie hopes many of her customers will be men who were previously too shy to buy underwear for their partners.

"It's really daunting walking into a lingerie department and, hopefully, boyfriends and husbands can now feel a little bit safer about choosing something their partner will like," she said.

Love Kylie has already been a huge success in Australia.

The diminutive diva has not designed just with herself in mind - the range goes up to a generous size 16.

Prices are from £10 to £50 and the collection is available from Selfridges in London and Manchester from today, with plans for other stores around the country later in the year.
