A new lingerie collection by Brazilian designer Lucia Iorio is named “Find Me If You Can” and contains GPS equipped lingerie, which is being marketed to the technology-savvy woman. Fashionable, but ardent feminist critics have labelled the garments hi-tech virginity belts.
The lingerie line consists of lace bodice, bikini bottom and faux pearl collar, with the GPS device apparently nestled in the see-through part of the bodice next to the waist.
Lingerie maker Lucia Iorio told AFP the wearer is in control.
This collection … is a wink to women and a challenge to men because, even if she gives him the password to her GPS, she can always turn it off,” Iorio said.
She can be found only if she wants to.
It’s not a modern chastity belt. Some men think they can keep tabs on their girlfriends with it, but they’re wrong,” she said.
Unconcerned with the discussion her new line has raised, Ms Iorio is also indifferent to the global financial crisis and its jolt on the sale of luxury things – the GPS lingerie retails for a cool $800 with a standard Global Positioning System, to $1100 with a more advanced model.
Some women are now interested in buying it for protection,” she said, adding that in a violence-prone country like Brazil her GPS lingerie should soon be selling briskly.
Designer acknowledges to selling only a few so far, but is full of optimism for the future.
