Triumph will release a lingerie collection adapted from the winning look of last year's Triumph Inspiration Award (TIA).

The four-piece collection, comprising a push-up bra, a brief, a bra vest and bodysuit (right), takes its cue from the sculptural corset designed by 36-year-old Boglarka Bodis from Hungary that recalls Madonna's famous conical bra by Jean Paul Gaultier.

Ms Bodis, a former civil servant, is now a designer with Triumph.

Available from Monday, the pieces will be stocked at Triumph boutiques in Ion Orchard, 313@somerset, 112 Katong and its counters in Takashimaya Department Store and Robinsons Raffles City. Prices range from $39.90 to $179.

Started in 2008, the TIA is an annual lingerie design contest for aspiring designers from around the world. This year's finals will be held in Shanghai next month and is based on the theme "Dragons and Butterflies".
