Not content with having found her way into our hearts, Kylie Minogue is now aiming to get into our underwear drawers as well. The Aussie singer, who is as well-known for her raunchy outfits as her music, is about to launch a new range of lingerie called "Love Kylie".

"I've been fortunate enough to do a lot of travel in the last decade and during that time I've amassed quite a selection of knickers and lingerie from around the world," she says "I thought it would be fantastic to be able to get all these pieces in one range… My aim is that the lingerie is fashionable, flirtatious, comfortable and enjoyable to wear."

The collection, made in satin, lace and fine mesh, includes uplift bras, thongs, camisoles and G-strings. It is divided into several ranges with provocative names liker Vamp, Seduce, Diva, Dolly and Sheer Escape. Some of the items, which Kylie says she wears "all the time" are also emblazoned with lyrics for the singer's hit singles.

The 34-year-old's underwear range has already proven a big hit in Australia, and she is hoping that it will be equally well-received when it is launched in Britain on May 31. Selfridges in London will have advanced shipments available from February 4th.
