As if best-selling day and eveningwear, accessories and shoes weren’t enough, is now adding lingerie and loungewear to Somerset, her range for John Lewis.

In addition to balconette bra and brief sets, the collection comprises silk pyjamas, an oriental-inspired kimono robe and a show-stopping black sleeveless silk jumpsuit – reminiscent of 1930s film icon Marlene Dietrich in Morocco. Plus, a gifting line will be available in the run-up to Christmas, with silk eye masks and lingerie packaged in beautiful gift boxes.

Says Alice Temperley: ‘I think it is what is worn underneath that really inspires a woman to feel beautiful in her clothes – that inner, secret glamour.’

We can’t wait to get our hands on the collection and, with prices ranging from £15-£250, we might just have to treat ourselves to a few pieces
