Ballet is, to me, the perfect correlation to the essence of true lingerie. It is all about romantic fancy expressed by the discipline of detail. No other designer better embodies this than England’s Jane Woolrich. From her atelier in northern England, Jane’s personal devotion is translated into designs recognized worldwide for their delicate detail, exquisite handwork and excellent fit. Bias cut nightwear that float in clouds around the body are still made with leavers laces that are hand cut, appliquéd, ruched, and pleated. Tiny ribbons and pearls add mystery to garments draped in silk, cotton voile and the finest satins. They are the quintessential expression of passion and the power of love and, the ultimate Valentine’s gift.
“The ballet is a purely female thing: it is a woman, a garden of beautiful flowers….” George Ballanchine.
