VAN HERPEN X AUBADE
Sartorial Expression
Aubade is presenting a capsule collection bringing
all the creativity of the Dutch designer to the world of
French lingerie
Luxurious materials, complex techniques and intricate
workmanship serve as the meeting ground for
Van Herpen’s sophisticated haute couture whimsy
and the disciplined savoir-faire of Aubade. The result
is Sensory Illusion, 10 spectacular pieces that
give rise to a magical botanical universe in which the
movements of the human body complement those
of nature, featuring embroidered leaves intended to
exalt a woman’s femininity. The graphic, almost architectural,
lines have been magisterially juxtaposed to
highlight the organic allure of the decorations, leaving
space for sensuous see-through effects at the
décolleté and magnificent embroidered panels on
the back portion of the bras. There are two chromatic
versions: Golden Leaves, a delightful mix of bronze
foliage and black lines; and Silk Rose, in various iridescent
tones of pink. This capsule release includes
a soft, triangular bralette, an underwired little triangle
model, a very low-cut padded bra and a push-up
number. To be combined with skimpy bikini briefs,
traditional briefs and shorty models featuring allover
lace treatments. The selection is completed by a
bodysuit, a jaunty short petticoat and a garter belt.
The collection will be available in selected stores,
Aubade boutiques and on the brand’s website.

Radical creativity, daring exploration of materials
and an unmistakable aesthetic vision distinguish the
amazing design work of Iris van Herpen. Ever since
her memorable first fashion show back in 2007, she
has continued to inspire absolute awe and wonder
with her stunning methods of expression and multidisciplinary
approach – she’s a pioneer in the use of
3D prints in the sphere of fashion – and since 2011
she has been a member of the prestigious Chambre
Syndicale de la Haute Couture Parisienne. Her dramatic
creations draw inspiration from the most bizarre
reaches of the realm of nature, combining traditional
techniques with innovative new ones in completely
new, pioneering ways. Just to give you an idea of her
importance, six of her dresses have been purchased
by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and
her creations have been displayed, among other exclusive
venues, in the Victoria & Albert Museum in
London and the Parisian Palais de Tokyo.
With their Maryplaid brand this Veneto company

F.lli Campagnolo is an established company of longstanding
repute located in Romano D’Ezzelino, specializing
in the sport sector, home furnishings and
children’s clothing. It was founded shortly after the
Second World War just as the Fifties were turning into
the Sixties, inspired by the entrepreneurial intuition
of the entire family of five siblings who knew how to
grow and transform an artisanal family-run operation
into a bona fide industrial operation.
«Our company’s story begins more than fifty years
ago with an open-air market stall in our beloved
hometown of Bassano del Grappa, with one woman,
Maria Disegna – my grandmother,” recounts the
owner, Maria Pia Campagnolo. “Thanks to her determination
and boundless passion, this remarkable
