Parisian Luxury Lingerie.
I had the pleasure of meeting Fifi Chachnil a while back, at her boutique in the 3rd Arrondisment of Paris, situated on a quite street between trendy Etienne Marcel and Les Halles.
Entering into the world of Fifi Chachnil is like bringing out your inner Bridget Bardot, sensual but never vulgar.
Feminine, soft, bubble gum pinks, french Rivera, playfulness and full of character. It’s almost like you’d expect of a wardrobe full of lingerie for a girl or woman who loves to be feminine and sexy for the fun of it. Lots of silk, lace, frills, and plenty of variety of pinks.
It’s one part Pin-up era and one part Alice in Wonderland.
Sensual Strength.
As for Fifi Chachnil the person; her presence really struck me as effortlessly feminine, charming yet alive. She has a delicate power in the way she dresses and the softness of her voice that’s evident in her designs, music and even the decor of the boutique that’s like a huge yet chic two story lingerie closet. She had her blond hair in a neat up-do with a red silk ribbon and silhouette hugging dress, as if in a 1950′s movie.
The dream Closet.
Like the french say its a lot of “frou frou”
Fifi prides herself in making lingerie for “real” women. She’s into the art of making a woman feel comfortable in her undergarments. These lingerie are perfect to be worn on your wedding night or a boudoir photo session here in Paris. Guys this would make a great gift for your special lady.
Visit any one of her three boutiques in Paris but my favorite is the one at address 68 rue Jean-jacques Rousseau
75001 PARIS
Telephone. 01 42 21 19 93
Selected works of the Master couturier Madame Grès (1903-1993) are on display at the Bourdelle Museum in Paris. All throughout her life Madame Gres stated that « Je voulais être sculpteur. Pour moi, c’est la même chose de travailler le tissu ou la pierre ». When translated she said she wanted to be a sculpture and that for her working with material is as similar to working with clay.
