toujours dans ses boudoirs, une multitude de merveilles tout
en dentelles. « Elle reste la grande dame du dessous “olé olé”
mais jamais vulgaire, qu’elle a créé dans les années 80, sans
que les féministes mouftent », précise Sylvie Barbier. Avec des noms
comme Lovely bertine, Encens’Moi ou Maliceuse, ses collections font
rêver les femmes autant que leurs compagnons. En Espagne, c’est la
maison Andrés Sardá qui manipule avec génie la dentelle de Calais.
Le créateur barcelonais imagine un univers intemporel et délicieu -
sement sensuel que toutes les femmes peuvent s’approprier, quelles
que soient leurs courbes. Ajoutez à cela les défilés Victoria’s Secret,
qui inondent le Web de filles sublimes habillées de tenues audacieuses
et d’ailes subtiles, et vous comprendrez pourquoi la lingerie restera à
jamais la meilleure arme de séduction au monde… •

{Fashion }
From simple, practical and
comfortable, underwear has
become an ultra-glamorous
couture component of fashion.
And when it comes to “torrid”
lingerie, some labels are well
ahead of the field, starting
with Agent Provocateur
whose uninhibited undies flirt
openly with porn chic. The British brand also had the
smart idea of using prestigious faces to promote its
wares: in its latest ads the flamboyant Monica Cruz
poses in a suspender belt on a velvet sofa. Each of its
lines is hotter than the last, and there are accessories
too: nipple pasties, eyemasks with Swarovski crystals,
gold handcuffs – everything you could ever want! But
all very couture and displayed as if it were fine
jewellery. On this side of the Channel, our iconic
Chantal Thomass continues to exhibit a multitude
of lacy wonders in her boudoirs. “She’s still the
grande dame of naughty, but never vulgar, underwear,
which she began producing in the 80s, without
the feminists batting an eyelid,” Sylvie Barbier points
out. Thomass’s collections with their suggestive
names feed the dreams of women and their partners
alike. In Spain, the Barcelona designer Andrés Sardá
does wonders with Calais lace, creating a timeless
and deliciously sensual world that all women, however
curvy, can make their own. Add into the mix Victoria’s
Secret, inundating the Web with sublime angels
flaunting audacious little numbers and gorgeous
wings, and you understand why lingerie will always
be the best weapon of seduction in the world. •
