Simply Elegant ~ Epure by Lise Charmel

Despite all my global travel, I had never been to San Francisco.  Now, my son has relocated there and I had a perfect excuse this weekend to take a detour on the way to see clients on the West Coast.  He lives within striking distance of the Golden Gate Bridge and since this is an anchor of this charming city, he was very anxious to show it to me in all its sunlit glory.  However, it was very foggy and he was very apologetic.  I on the other hand was totally intrigued by this airy dew that tiptoes across the bay and weaves itself around the rocky shores and through the steel girders that support the bridge.   It hugs these forms and yet while you are moving through it, it seems as if it is not even there. To me it is luxurious cloak that almost disappears even as it embraces this sophisticated city.

I have been thinking about how to define the delicate beauty of the Epure brand from Lise Charmel ever since I took an in depth look at it in Paris last year. This week-end’s encounter with the notorious fog cradled in the breast of the San Francisco landscape seems a perfect metaphor. These intimates, crafted with the renowned research behind the Lise Charmel design group, are engineered with innovative fabrics and exclusive Calais laces such as the Reve de Dentelles  bra pictured here.  Available in sizes 32-38, A-E  cups, this style epitomizes the transparent elegance of the Epure style.  Just like the soft mist that hovers over the San Francisco Bay, these bras float lightly over a woman’s body quietly demanding attention but never intruding on her grace.
