Harrods introduces a striking addition to its luxury lingerie collection: high-waisted black jersey briefs priced at £890. Crafted from a blend of viscose, wool, and elastane, these pieces require dry cleaning, adding roughly £2 per wash to maintenance costs.
Design by Renowned Creative Director
Sarah Burton, Givenchy’s creative director and the designer behind Kate Middleton’s 2011 wedding dress during her time at Alexander McQueen, created these briefs. Available in black and white, they feature an embroidered Givenchy Paris signature on the back. The composition includes 36% wool, 43% viscose, 15% polyamide, 5% polyester, and 1% elastane.
Bold Statement in Underwear Fashion
Harrods highlights the briefs as a bold statement of confidence and refined rebellion. This season’s Givenchy underwear line blurs lines between sensuality and empowerment, with sleek bra tops, corset-inspired structures, and sheer layering pieces.
Fashion enthusiasts may pair these high-rise briefs with sheer dresses and skirts, aligning with current trends. A matching bullet bra jersey top from Givenchy retails for £2,250, while a satin bra top with embroidered pearls costs £9,050.
Celebrity Style Inspirations
Actress Kristen Stewart has been spotted wearing the briefs. Sienna Miller recently styled a white net cutaway empire dress with prominent underwear at the 2025 Fashion Awards in London. Kaia Gerber, daughter of Cindy Crawford, donned a black sequinned lace dress with oversized pants at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival. Both Miller and Gerber admire Burton’s work.
Affordable Alternatives
For everyday options, Marks & Spencer offers full briefs at a fraction of the cost. A five-pack of pure cotton briefs sells for £8, or £1.60 each, and machine-washable on a standard cycle. One Givenchy pair equates to roughly 556 M&S equivalents.
