Fusing the concept of true regal luxury the collection portrays the classic elegance and delicacy of Westminster Abbey’s high lines and vaulted ceilings. The underwire Basque with detachable brief conjures up the lines of this architectural wonder.
CHATEAU DE VILLETTE
Luxurious on the inside and exuding on the outside, Chateau de Villette’s opulent detail and surrounding garden are captured in the lingerie with both their strong lines and curves. The chateau designs mirror outlines of the female body, which are built upon with the intricate lingerie of Nichole de Carle. The exquisite staircase of the chateau is mimicked in the design of the back of the bra and the symmetry of the surrounding gardens are built into the exceptional style.
ONYX Collection Story
The Onyx collection draws inspiration from Dan Brown’s ‘The Da Vinci Code’. Focusing on architecture in the book, and the essence of mystery behind the story , the collection captures the seductive mystic builtinto the story of the search for the secrets of the Holy Grail. Symbolic meanings hidden within paintings and gloriously coded architecture form the basis of the styles of the Onyx range with exceptional design.
LOUVRE (Limited Edition)
Luxurious soft triangle bra and mini brief with delicate lace, fine silk and plaited elastic reflects the innovative design of the Louvre: the cutting edge modern design of the double inverted pyramid structure with rhombus shaped glass panels, juxtaposed with the classic formal architecture of the original building. The Louvre is the perfect housing for the wonderful art collection and connects the Opal collection to the Onyx concept following on with the Da Vinci code theme.
THE LAST TESTAMENT
Inspired by the symbolic detail in Leonardo Da Vinci’s ‘The Last Supper’. The Last Testament style came about through the story of the representation of the chalice shape formed between Jesus and Mary Magdalena in ‘The Last Supper’ painting. The chalice being the ancient symbol for the female is the perfect embodiment of femininity and grace.
