Here's a look at world-famous lingerie giant Etam's showing in the fashion capital of the world last week.

Women's intimates are a big business and French label Etam certainly drove the point home with their huge showing in Paris on January 24.

Held at the opulent Grand Palais des Champs-Elys es as part of Paris Fashion Week, six lines of innerwear, swimwear and lounge wear were showcased by models as the likes of Mark Ronson, The Kills and Boy George provided live music. Check it out!

To start off with we have this classic black set with sheer borders -- perfection on the perfect bod!

High on glamour
