Paris Undressed

French women seem inherently more confident in their bodies, able to embrace the sensuality of life and love. What's their secret? Lingerie. Yet, despite an insatiable curiosity for all things French, most women still find lingerie an enigma, a tangled mélange of silk and lace, and are confused about how, when, and where to wear it. (Hint: it's not just for special occasions.) Many aspire to having a drawer full of silky, lacy undergarments, but have no idea where to start: How should my bra fit? How exactly do I wear a garter belt? Do bras and knickers always have to match? With illustrations by French lingerie designer Paloma Casile, Paris Undressed: The Secrets of French Lingerie will help women feel at ease with their figures and show them how to integrate a lingerie lifestyle à la française to enhance their own femininity, confidence, and joie de vivre. It will transform the way women perceive their undergarments - and their bodies - and reveal how to co-ordinate a lingerie wardrobe to reflect personality and to meet lifestyle needs with the right dose of reverie. The book also includes a hand-selected guide to the most confidential addresses and lingerie boutiques in...

Stunning images of women in intimate apparel from the artist heralded as “among the most important fashion photographers of the twentieth century” (The New York Times). Through the 1950s and the early 1960s, working with that era’s supermodels, fashion photographer Lillian Bassman created the quintessential modern feminine image of women in their lingerie. As Ginia Bellafante put it in the New York Times recently, “In place of heavyset women constraining themselves in what was essentially equipment, Ms. Bassman deployed immeasurably lithe models, conveying a world in which women seemed to linger in the pleasures of their own sensuality.” Fifty years later, these images have lost none of their allure, and the enormous cultural impact of the TV show Mad Men has given them new currency. “For more than half a century, Lillian Bassman’s lingerie-themed photographs have seduced the viewer, with their stark contrast, stunningly graceful figure lines, and vivid texture.” —Vanity Fair

From the crinoline to thigh highs, and from the corset to the G-string you can choose to conceal or to reveal, the important thing is to be liked and to like yourself. In this book, the history of lingerie is seen both for its elegance and from an ironic angle. Starting from the first bodices and corsets which were true instruments of constriction hidden under layers of crinolines, we come to the glittering and theatrical display of lingerie on the catwalks of the most recent fashion shows of Victoria's Secret. The century between these two extremes ushered in social changes that influenced our habits: we can see a reflection of these changes in the colourful advertising campaigns of the 20th century and enjoy comparing that retro style with today's glossy advertising. And while some past slogans may raise a smile out of amusement or nostalgia, the pictures of film stars shown "in déshabille," on or off the set, are absolutely breathtaking. Hovering precariously between modesty and provocation, lingerie remains inextricably linked with feminine evolution and reflects, better than any other garment, changes in society.

Je l'ai engagée pour qu'elle redresse ma société, pour ramener Marks Lingerie à la vie. Je n'avais pas prévu qu'elle deviendrait mon amie. Je n'avais pas prévu de tomber amoureux d'elle. La règle numéro un dans les affaires, c'est de ne jamais avoir de relation avec ses employés. Je pense qu'il y en a une autre qui interdit de s'éprendre de sa meilleure amie - qui interdit d'imaginer les courbes de son corps ou la façon dont elle reprendrait son souffle si je baissais sa culotte et descendais la fermeture Eclair de mon pantalon. Mais maintenant, je n'en peux plus d'attendre. J'ai décidé de jeter les règles aux orties. Au diable l'entreprise. Au diable notre amitié. Au diable mes peurs.

Basée sur les procédés mis en place à la naissance du prêt-à-porter par Alexis Lavigne, en 1841, cette méthode de coupe pour la lingerie féminine pose les bases de l'enseignement de l'école Esmod dans ce secteur. Axée sur l'élaboration à plat d'un tracé du corps de la femme sur lequel le modéliste extrapole le volume du vêtement à créer, cette méthode peut ainsi traverser les modes et surtout s'adapter à l'évolution des tailles et des conformations de façon universelle. Méthode simple, claire, logique et précise, elle s'adresse beaucoup moins à la mémoire qu'au raisonnement en utilisant une technique rationnelle par tracé, appelée ''coupe à plat'' qui donne des formules clefs, valables pour toutes les modes et permet de construire tout le vestiaire de la lingerie féminine (Soutien-gorges, culottes, slips, strings, corsets, bustiers, guêpières,...), à transformer dans tous les secteurs (classiques et intemporels, mode, luxe, sport,...). A la fois un ouvrage d'initiation et un document de référence sur les techniques de modélisme de la lingerie féminine.

Covering the fun, often deliciously risqué, history of lingerie, you'll meet the first innerwear-as-outerwear model (a 5000 year old Snake Goddess in a corset!), take a peek beneath the astounding 11 pounds of underpinnings worn by our Victorian sisters, and discover the special sewing secret behind the military-inspired bullet bras of the I940s and 50s. You'll also see how, in more recent times, Madonna has manipulated the power of underwear to maximum effect. Clad in crinolines and bustiers, she channeled one pan 50s prom queen, one pan Marilyn, and just enough S&M spice to bring lingerie out in the open, helping to launch the innerwear-as-outerwear phenomenon that is such a staple of today's music and fashion. With its engaging combination of alluring images, fascinating history, and modern musings, Lingerie: a Modern Guide is your one-stop guide to the shapewear that has shaped the world.

The Secret Life of Syrian Lingerie

Autor: Malu Halasa

Número de Páginas: 0

This book reveals a largely unknown and unexplored side of Arab culture and designone rarely glimpsed in todays geopolitical debates that characterize the region. In Damascus and Aleppo, approximately 200 companies vie for a highly competitive domestic lingerie market. The lingerie forms part of popular Syrian tradition surrounding marriage; if a groom does not buy the undergarments for his wife-to-be, then her mother will. Some lingerie designers resort to gadgetry (blinking lights or sound loops of pop music) or the sweet tooth (candy- or chocolate-encrusted panties), while others stick to classics like the thong panty featuring a bird embedded in a ring of fl uorescent pink boa feathers: called Ish Al Asfour (birds nest in Arabic)a kitsch interpretation of womens pubic hair. Malu Halasa describes her and Rana Salams visits with the designers, manufacturers, vendors, and consumers of these undergarments, shedding light on the social mores of Syrians and questioning Western preconceptions about Islam. Photographs by Gilbert Hage highlight the editors top 30 of lingerie styles discovered on their many trips to the souk in Damascus. Also in the book: self-portraits by the young...
