SINGAPORE (Reuters) - A diamond thong worth S$168,000
($122,000) was the highlight of a lingerie fashion show in
Singapore on Thursday.
The Triumph Luxurious Diamond Thong had 518 brilliant-cut
diamonds, totaling 30 carats, studded into the front of a black
lace thong in a floral pattern. The skimpy underwear that left
little to the imagination also had 27 white gold tassels
hanging off it.
Danielle Luminita, a brunette model from Romania, was
carried down the runway on the shoulders of two male models
wearing only the diamond thong.
"It is very comfortable, it's not heavy or scratchy or
anything," Luminita told Reuters backstage.
A spokeswoman for Triumph International, the lingerie
company that commissioned the thong, said that the thong would
be dry cleaned before going on display.
"It's a signature piece, obviously we aren't going to sell
it," she said.
