“You can always tell when a girlfriend has a new love in her life because she starts shopping for gorgeous lingerie, says fashion photographer, Cathy Hassan: “There’s no denying that exquisite underwear will make any woman feel special and give extra confidence for that first date.”

For those with very little money to burn, Debenhams has teamed up with Janet Reger to bring you her extensive expertise at pocket-friendly prices. Supermodel Caprice certainly seems to know a thing or two about enticing undies. Her pretty new underwear range is also available exclusively at Debenhams.
