Agent Provacateur's Opening Party in Chicago

Chicagoans braved the winter storm Thursday night to attend the opening party of Agent Provocateur (47 E. Oak Street). A scantily clad model from Argentina moved through the crowd in sexy lingerie, sometimes with a whip, which she had to use on some unruly party goers. Guests enjoyed champagne and colorful macaroons as they toured the tiny, pretty shop.

Provocateur is known for their provocative assortment of underthings and has a celebrity following of Dita Von Teese, Paris Hilton, Christina Aguilera, Carmen Electra, to name a few. The Chicago outpost not only sells sexy lingerie, but also footwear, perfume, saucy accessories (like whips), perfume and classic stockings with back seams.
