“The British have gone lingerie crazy,” reported Women’s Wear Daily in 1996, due in no small part to the opening of the first Agent Provocateur boutique in London two years earlier. Selling whips and pasties alongside bras and panties, the label helped to spark a trend for high-end, overtly erotic lingerie that continues today.
