Madonna Nude 1979 beautiful hot pink and black lingerie from this fabulous range
Madonna:
Take your hands off my pants MADONNA
The lingerie range, Madonna Nude 1979, has been launched in Britain by many internet lingerie retailers and outlets.
It has been created by Rosanna Ansaloni, a Milan designer, and according to the UK retailers, is based on naked pictures of Madonna taken by Martin Schreiber, an American photographer, in 1979.
This is not the first time Madonna has tried to crack down on use of the Schreiber pictures. In 2001, her lawyers unsuccessfully attempted to stop Adam Glickman, an American condom salesman, from producing a range of contraceptives using the same images. Last week, Glickman said he had sold "hundreds of thousands" of the condoms since his clash with the singer, but would be discontinuing the line next month because of falling demand.
The underwear, which will be made by Pielle an Italian lingerie manufacturer, features transparent pants decorated with tickly ribbons and crystals. Items included in the range, which have names such as Love Healing and Sensuality, also include what figleaves.com calls "a super sexy shiny satin baby doll with detachable garter belt".
T-shirts are printed with a motif of Madonna's face and a crucifix necklace on the front and back. The knickers are embellished with the rock star's initial in crystals.
The range for men includes black lace Y-fronts and "micro-fibre" briefs bearing Madonna's name. Prices for women's items are £70 for a madonna bra and £30 for madonna knickers. Pants in the men's collection will cost £40.
Whitehead added: "The range is really high end — it's not something that has been produced quite cheaply with a logo slapped on it. The quality of the fabric is beautiful — there is a whole design ethos that has been put into it.
"We are aiming for women who want an aspirational take on underwear. They love celebrity, they love the link with the underwear and it is a way of buying into that person's lifestyle."
Neither Ansaloni nor Pielle could be reached for comment this weekend.
A number of female stars, including Kylie Minogue, Elizabeth Hurley and Elle Macpherson, have launched lucrative underwear ranges but Madonna, long known for her keen business sense, will not receive a penny from the range bearing her name.
Madonnawas an unknown dancer when the nude photos were taken. She was paid $30 (£16.70) for the three-hour photo session with Schreiber and she signed over the rights to the photos, a decision she has come to regret.
