As revealing as chiffon cami-knickers on a breezy day, 'Knickers' exposes the undiscovered world of underwear, from noble beginnings to catwalk domination.
You can tell a lot about a lady by the knickers covering her derriere. Whether she chooses a gauzy lace thong, snug briefs or frilly bloomers is a secret insight into her character.

So how did something as simple as an undergarment get to become so important? And which famous wearers have helped this slip of fabric achieve iconic status?
From the celebrities whose panties have made them famous and the designers who live for lace and Lycra, to some of the sexiest slips on celluloid, take a decadent journey into stockings, strings and under things.
