Lingerie is to me a way of lifting women up. It is, if handled with class, the mystique that infiltrates our wardrobes, a voyage to femininity and self-esteem.

Filmed for IMAX, the close up slow motion photography was mesmerizing. I was completely seduced. The collage of colors and shapes undulating beneath a shimmering light was exquisite.

When my sister in law was married in Paris a few years ago, albeit a very intimate party, there was something somewhat “Je ne sais quoi” about the whole affair. It’s that French chic that permeates most everything one sees in this elegant city. No lingerie design house possesses this style more then the venerable Cadolle. Every detail; stitch, ribbon, fagoting, embroidery, fabric, boning and lace reminds me who … Read More
