Glimpse is the new bi-monthly publication from Tony Nylons, recreating some of the titillating humour found in magazines from the 1940s through to the ‘60s – but featuring genuine stockings lovers from today. This is really fun and packed with stylish and good humoured photography.

It’s done with a lovely balance of style – always very sexy, but not porny or sleazy. If you like images of women in sexy ’40s lingerie, buy this book
