I started thinking about David Blaine’s artistry the other day while visiting the Chantelle showroom in NYC to re-look at fall and preview spring 2013 products. The Chantelle brand, already a master at balancing intimate performance and feminine mystique, has captured the essence of illusionism in their newly launched Paris Paris collection. They have managed to create a trompe l’oeil effect on fabric with an innovative woven satin jacquard that appears to be delicately appliqued lace, but is, in fact, a mere impression. Combining this visionary optical technique with an exquisite leavers lace, they have created a group of intimate designs as functional as they are seductive. The T-shirt bra, in sizes 32-40 and B – F cups, is pictured here with the matching hi-waisted brief, in sizes XS –XL. Chantelle presents a very practical bra with a very provocative persona. Perception becomes reality. Inquiries: lgeerhart@chantelle.com
