4 FEBRUARY 2003
Kylie Minogue has proven her love for her adopted home by giving the British people a very personal gift – her knickers. Well, she isn't quite "giving" her underwear, but she is making it available to all for a reasonable price. And the charming Aussie has once again proven too much for us to resist as she launched her new lingerie range at Selfridges in London.

Posing with models at the event, the petite singer showed beyond doubt that small is indeed beautiful. Wearing an elegant silver dress while the other - rather taller - beauties demonstrated the appeal of her new undies, she showed she can easily measure up to the high-flyers of fashion.

The range, called "Love Kylie", includes elegant lace styles along with more provocative, minimalist items. The designs, made in satin, lace and fishnet, are split into a number of lines with names like "Diva", "Vamp" and "Fever".

"It's really daunting walking into a lingerie department and hopefully, boyfriends and husbands can now feel a little bit safer about choosing something their partner will like," she said. Prices range from £10 to £50 and Kylie's "Love" is available for your perusal at Selfridges stores.

The range has been available in Australia for some time, but the new collection is the first to be launched in Britain. It offers evidence, if any were needed, that Brits have been completely seduced by the one-woman phenomenon that is Kylie Minogue.
