Kate Upton Beats Selena Gomez for 2012 Hot Body

Selena Gomez may be the “most beautiful woman in the world,” but Kate Upton reigns as the top bikini babe of 2012.

Kate came out of nowhere last year to take America by storm, and choosing her curvy figure as the best is a no-brainer. Her impact has been so significant that the fashion industry is now changing in order to accommodate her.

The 20-year-old Sports Illustrated cover girl is perhaps the most compelling swimsuit babe of the last ten years, and it’s due in no small part to her famous breasts, legs, and tummy. Not since Claudia Schiffer has there been a supermodel as exciting as Kate Upton, so, of course, she has the Number One Body in the World. Selena Gomez was crowned for the second year in a row as the prettiest woman by Mahvrick, but she didn’t even come close to Kate on the list of the best physiques.

What’s great about Upton is that she doesn’t have the stereotypical stick figure. She’s made it OK for women to actually look like women. And, the busty blond will be around for a long time, because she pretty much does it all. Whether it’s fashion, swimsuit, or lingerie work, Kate always hits it out of the park, so you can expect to see her on similar lists in the future as well.

Retail Advice Column Released by the Lingerie Journal

The Lingerie Journalrecently released a new retail advice column on Expert Accessory Displays aimed at helping lingerie retailers incorporate add-on items into feature displays to create more visual interest among customers and increase their average transaction.

The new retail advice column by Libby Dowd pulls together advice from visual merchandising expert and founder of Interior Elements, Leslie Groves.

The tips range from how to incorporate delicate washes like Eucalan to leveraging apparel and hosiery at a retail setting. Some of the advice comes directly from lingerie manufacturers like Baci Lingerie.

In the article, for example, Baci Lingerie’s Joy Menon recommends a less is more approach to displaying small accessories: “A small grouping of products also creates a sense of demand,” she notes.

The Expert Accessory Displays article has already received a huge amount of traffic and a great response from the lingerie retailers noted Luis Paredes, publisher of the Lingerie Journal. The article is part of an ongoing series of Lingerie Retail Advice columns.
