Chantal Thomass - un parapluie

Chantal Thomass

This fashion house led by the the stylish Chantal first made the lingerie scene during the 1960s and 1970s.  All the world was shunning the frilly lingerie and burning bras.

She flaunted the feminist movement, fabricating lingerie from menswear fabrics and at the other end of the spectrum sensuous fluffs of lace, silk, organza.  While visiting Paris, I regularly walk past this window on Rue Saint Honoré, always anticipating a visual treat.

Dansez-vous?

A few weeks ago just after dark, Marie, Peter and I were walking back toward the apartment along Rue St. Honoré and saw this window display at Chantal Thomass. The creativity of the "window artists" never ceases to amaze me in Paris. Here we have a salute to ballet with an authentic ballet barre, tutu, and pointe shoes (Repetto, bien sûr)... all with the promises of luxurious lingerie. Nothing naughty, just elegant French lingerie.

Would you buy these?*
