Agent Provocateur

Getting to know an AP girl is some peoples fantasty! Here is an intimate questionnaire grilling Bassma, the manager of our glorious Berlin Store.

What is your favourite current range and why?
Aliyah: Leopard print is always a winner with me. The briefs have a cheeky cross at the back where you can see the top of your bottom. The bra is a fantastic mix of vintage pin up with a modern twist in the double layering of the fabric on the cups.

Esme: Its pure seduction. The silk feels divine on the skin and despite being a soft cup, it still creates a beautiful shape for every cup size, and I'm a D...I feel like Catherine Deneuve when I wear this set.

Tell us about your first AP experience?
I actually started with the company 5 years ago when at Pont Street in London. But my boyfriend had bought me AP lingerie before that... I fell in love at first touch!

Who would you like to see star in an AP campaign?
Eva Green - she is just so beautiful, seductive and intelligent.
Drew Barrymore - She is an understated sexiness and also has an air of cheekiness.
Monica Bellucci - Timeless elegance and beauty.

If you were a pair of knickers, what would you look like?
I would be a pair of suspender briefs with a sheer see through tulle material with silk lining. I would either be in silver leopard print or dark bordeaux red.

What is your best moment working in the shop?
The camaraderie, support and passion for AP from the girls who I work with in the shop as well as world wide.

And outside of AP what do you like to do?
I love to sing and write songs with my garage/surf/ rock band in Berlin the 'Meanreds', letting my musical alter ego 'Agent Bee' loose on stage. I always seem to end most gigs on the floor or singing in the audience area. It's me and 3 Berlin boys letting it rip.

What fragrance do you wear?
I am a die hard AP Signature fragrance fan. I have been wearing it now for 5 years...Timeless classic that nothing tops.

What is your idea of a romantic evening?
After a day of surfing, a late leisurely evening dinner by the ocean with lots of tasty food you have to eat with your fingers, drinking a beautiful bottle of red wine with someone who can you can talk to and laugh with till the wee hours of the morning. Not original, but a classic.

What would be your top tips for men picking out lingerie for a loved one?

Check out your 'loved ones' bra and brief sizes in their underwear drawer when they're out, so you know the sizes in advance. If you don't know a babydoll or slip are great alternatives to sized sets.

If you are not sure about what colour or material she may like, the following are sure shot winners:
- Silk
- Lace trimmings
- Blacks, deep reds and baby pinks
- Demi cups

Always get a full set as a gift bra, bottoms, suspender belt and stockings.

What do you think puts AP head and shoulders above the rest?
We offer exceptional luxury customer service with an added cheeky twist.
The provocative, seductive, and humourous campaigns we have staged over the years. Our lingerie is pure seduction and the range of styles on offer are more than most luxury brands, while the fits are some of the best in the world. Anyone who starts their affair with AP will know that their love affair will last for a lifetime!
