Christine Lingerie Mother’s Day Artistry: Toile Jardin

By ELLEN LEWIS

There is no denying my respect for Christine Morton’s eponymous brand. I have covered the Christine  Lingerie collection before.  To me, it is an art gallery, a panoply of silk canvasses, each one worth displaying individually for its creative expression.

This time, it’s the Toile Jardin print. It reminds me of my mother and the French toile wallpaper in her bedroom when I was young. Of course, my mom, now long gone, is often on my mind. However, every May as her birthday and Mother’s Day approaches, the memory percolates. She was a connoisseur of elegance, understatement, and creativity. She respected luxury, but never exploited it. She proffered quality as a viable investment. And she was an avid swimmer. How does this relate. I asked Christine for the inspiration for the Toile Jardin story. Her response:

“Different French tapestries and fabrics. Heavenly Blue is a classic colour to use. The sky and the ocean where I swim every morning. This print on pure silk charmeuse is very soft and elegant.”

My mother is not here, but what a keepsake any of this 7 piece sleep and loungewear collection would be for any mother worthy of the gift of appreciation.
