Splendid Fantasy ~ La Fee Verte
The curtain rises. From the depths of the orchestra, the music surges, flooding the senses with anticipation. The beautiful ballerina ascends en pointe to dance one of the most memorable tributes to feminine enchantment and romance in the history of classical ballet. It is the Pas De Deux, Tchaikovsky’s mesmerizing musical dream sequence from The Nutcracker Suite, during which the Sugar Plum Fairy pays tribute to the heroic Clara for saving the Prince. The drama created by the combination of gorgeous costumes, dreamlike sets, tantalizing sound and extraordinary footwork appeals to my Russian genes. It’s the intensity, the overwhelming emotion of being lifted to another reality, even for a brief moment in time, that to me is the essence of lingerie.
The ethereal ballerinas, in their poetic tutus are elegant illustrations of both the strength and softness in a woman’s nature. Seduced by the hypnotic atmosphere of this magnificent and difficult craft, I am reminded of my first impression of the sexy underpinnings offered by the Montreal based La Feé Verte brand. Each piece of lingerie is carefully draped for maximum allure with minimum fuss. The choreography of luxury fabrics in provocative color combinations floating effortlessly over the body produces a unique expression of contemporary femininity; a sophisticated composition of sensuality, poise and charm. Just as the Nutcracker is a timeless celebration of a spellbinding dream, so does each design from the La Feé Verte collection offer an everlasting gift of passionate fantasy.
