For the first time ever, fourteen prestigious French brands have come together to present their collections at an exceptional fashion show in tribute to this know-how and creativity. These luxury houses, which share the same values and heritage as renown corsetiers, express themselves with one and the same voice: "Lingerie, Mon Amour"!

These brands have always been "in the air du temps", synonymous with elegance "à la Française": ANTIGEL, ANTINÉA, AUBADE, CHANTELLE, EMPREINTE, EPRISE, EPURE, IMPLICITE, LISE CHARMEL, LOU, LOUISA BRACQ, MAISON LEJABY, PASSIONATA, and SIMONE PÉRÈLE.

We have also invited five emerging French Lingerie designers to join us in presenting their creations: ELISE ANDEREGG, MADAME AIME, MAUD & MARJORIE, PALOMA CASILE and YSÉ.

Organized by "Promincor - Lingerie Française" (the Association for the Promotion of Corsetry Industries) and supported by the "DEFI - La Mode de France" (the Committee for the Development and Promotion of Clothing), this poetic and captivating show highlighted the savoir-faire of french corsetiers.

In the magnificent Pavillon Cambon, the show presented the iconic Parisian Woman : Marie-Antoinette version 2017, a mysterious ballerina, a Lady New Look and Dandy Girl in smoking jacket.

The orchestra was conducted by the talented founder of the group Prequell, Thomas Roussel, and comprised of fourteen musicians. Together, they will play unique and unusual live music : electro symphonia.

It was an amazing show appreciated by more 500 guests : international buyers, influencers, VIP, French actress ( Emilie Duquenne, Deborah François, Marilou Berry), Olympic Champions ( Camille Lacourt, Elodie Clouvel) …
