‘The Americans’ Costume Designer Debuts a Lingerie Collaboration

The fashion eagle has landed. Repeat. The fashion eagle has landed.

Espionage fans, rejoice. Timed to the season three premiere of the hit FX show The Americans on Jan. 28, costume designer Jenny Gering has teamed up with lingerie line Cosabella to curate a collection inspired by the spy-centric series. 

The collection, which is available at select boutiques around the country and online starting Friday through Feb. 23, was inspired by the post Cold War drama’s character of Elizabeth Jennings (played by Keri Russell), who, along with her on-screen husband, poses as a part of a suburban family in order to conceal their KGB spy identities in post Cold War America.

“Cosabella is perfect because it’s very Elizabeth, in that it’s very classic, refined and elegant, and the quality is impeccable, but it’s also sexy without trying to hard,” says Gering, who turned to Russell’s character for inspiration during the process.

“I know these characters so well at this point so its a question of what she would wear,” says Gering of the collection, which includes items such as the sheer Amalfi lace bra ($84.50), and the demure 24/7 mid slip ($91). “It’s also pieces that are more appropriate for the time period. It’s very much what i thought she would gravitate toward,” Gering adds.

Look for separates similar to items worn by Russell’s character in past bedroom scenes, and possible sightings of pieces from the new collection (priced between $40 to $207.50) in season three. But you didn’t hear it from us.

Angelina Co. Sheriff’s investigators believe ‘lingerie looter’ has struck again

ANGELINA COUNTY, TX (KTRE) -
Investigators with the Angelina County Sheriff’s Office believe the so-called “lingerie looter” has struck again. This time, the burglary suspect struck a house on CC Road outside of Diboll.

Lt. Pete Maskunas with the Angelina County Sheriff’s Office said the 911 call came in Thursday. A patrol deputy went out to take the report from the home owners.

Although the home owners weren’t sure exactly what had been taken, they said some of the woman’s underwear and a few other items were taken.

Maskunas said the MO is similar to the 19 to 20 other burglaries ACSO investigators attribute to the so-called “lingerie looter.” The suspect forced his way into the home, but no pictures were taken. The ACSO lieutenant said they believe the last time that the burglar struck was a case that the Lufkin Police Department worked in November 2013.

The Angelina County Sheriff’s office, the Lufkin Police Department, the Diboll Police Department, and the Texas Rangers are all working different leads on the case. Maskunsas said it now a county-wide investigation and that the sheriff’s office is not taking this incident lightly.

The burglaries date back to 2009, according to Maskunas.

Maskunas said that people should be on the lookout for anyone in their area who looks like they don’t belong or like they’re just passing through. People who spot unfamiliar vehicles or who have had people knock on their doors for no reason are urged to call in even if it seems minor.

Anyone with any information should call Maskunas or Sgt. Harold Rapsilver at (936) 634-3331.
