Alice Temperley adds lingerie to Somerset range Alice Temperley has added lingerie and loungewear to her best-selling Somerset range for John Lewis. TelegraphPlayer_TMG10331023 British designer Alice Temperley's record-breaking John Lewis range, Somerset, is about to get even better. Not content with offering best-selling women's day and eveningwear, accessories and shoes, Temperley is set to introduce lingerie and loungewear - her first ever experience in the underwear world. The 23-piece collection, which will hit stores in October, is inspired by Japanese prints and Yves Saint Laurent's iconic 'Le Smoking' tuxedo. As such, there is a delicate oriental floral print - called Night Floral - peppered throughout and pyjama-cum-loungewear so sophisticated it would look just as at home in a bar as a bedroom. WATCH: Alice Temperley on the Somerset collection Temperley's personal favourite is the sleeveless black silk tuxedo jumpsuit with white piping (below), which she describes as "beautiful and timeless," and takes inspiration from 1930s film icon Marlene Dietrich in Morocco . A tuxedo pyjama set follows the same classic ilk, inspired also by the black-and-white Ginger Rogers movies the designer watched in her youth. There are also silky camisole and knicker sets, long and mid-length chemises and luxurious cashmere dressing gowns in black and grey. Our favourite pieces from the new collection; Cashmere night robe; Black sleeveless silk jumpsuit with ivory piping, £145; Night Floral chemise, £85. In the lingerie department there are four balconette bra and classic knicker sets available in a silk scallop style in claret and ivory, a cream vintage lace, and the Temperley-designed 'Night Floral' print. "Lingerie is my next love after clothing," says Temperley. I think it is what is worn underneath that really inspires a woman to feel beautiful in her clothes - that inner, secret glamour. The Somerset range, which is named after Temperley's beloved home county, became John Lewis's fastest-selling brand ever, taking eleven times the sales usually seen for a brand launch in just one day when it went on sale last year. The range goes on sale in store and online from October 1.
