You can always count on Agent Provocateur to go completely over the top and they have not disappointed with this year’s winter collection. Featuring the elite members of the APEX crew AP have gone for an out of the world collection of lingerie with a futuristic twist on some classic themes.
A New World Order
The New World Order – Part 2 The Return of the Apex is the story behind the new collection and goes something like this:
“At some point in future an exclusive organisation of women conclude that man has ruined the Earth and decide to leave for the stars…”
Believable – yes. Feasible, maybe?
Anyway, to cut a long story short, this new utopia doesn’t go quite to plan and so an elite crew of of superwomen, aka The APEX (Agent Provocateur Elite Xemplars) are despatched back to Earth to get some fresh DNA in order that their new world can continue.
The mission succeeds but our female saviours get infected by a virus which makes them frumpy and unattractive.. so another mission to Earth is required in order to make them sexy and desirable again… You get the gist! If you have a few minutes to spare and want a giggle then read the full story here…
