A certain retail space on Newbury Street is going from candles to corsets in mid October, when Agent Provocateur (123 Newbury Street, Boston) opens its doors in the former home of Diptyque. The UK-based company (helmed by Vivienne Westwood’s son, Joe Corre) is bringing its full line of lingerie, accessories, bridal pieces, maternity wear, and beauty products to Boston women (and, we presume, their rightly excited significant others). Ladies, expect all the racy, lacy, strappy, and sexy underthings that Agent Provocateur is known for. Guys, rejoice. Just one question: does this mean we can’t get away with wearing mismatched bra-and-granny-panty combos on laundry day anymore?
