Limited-edition Katy Perry lingerie from West Ham?

A British soccer club is to sell limited-edition Katy Perry lingerie.

The American singer wore a sexy West Ham-themed outfit at the MTV Europe Music Awards earlier this month. The set was a tribute to her boyfriend Russell Brand, who supports the team, and the claret and blue underwear has proven a hit with football fans.

Katy wore a basque with West Ham badges positioned over her breasts. She also wore a matching garter and frilly knickers with ‘Rusty’ emblazoned across her butt – her nickname for British comic Russell.

Now the London-based club have decided to commission a range of underwear for fans. Limited edition copies of the basque – made from replica shirts – will go on sale for £300.

Siobhan Dillon, who designed the outfit, is thrilled with the reaction to the lingerie.

She said: "I thought it would be cool to try and make the shirt as football-oriented as possible. So, I used the collars along the top of the brassiere and used the two badges on the front. It was made entirely from the three shirts, but we had to take the Airtex out and replace it with some lining."

A spokesman for West Ham said: “We are responding to huge demand.” Russell was delighted with Katy’s outfit, writing on his Twitter page soon after the show: "Wow. Now MY GIRLFRIEND has worn a West Ham basque while hosting the EMA's. What a day! I might revive Gandhi and ask if he wants to be mates."
