While her designs are available at only 4 retail outlets in the world, designer Nichole de Carle is making a big impression in the lingerie world. The London-based designer brings the hard-edged design elements of great architecture of the world and interprets them into luxurious, satiny foundation garments. Free of extraneous decoration, her collections remind us that lingerie is intended as the structure upon which fashion is built.
The “Opal Collection” takes its inspiration from four architechtural gems, located in four fashion capitals of the world: The Louvre in Paris, the Duomo in Milan, Westminster Abbey in London, and the Chrysler building in New York. Her “Onyx Collection” is inspired by architecture featured in the book “The DaVinci Code”, by Dan Brown, and reflects the mystery and mysticism of the search for the Holy Grail.
Nichole’s creations, unlike some other designers’ offerings, are practical and emminently wearable. Only one question remains unanswered for us. How can one possibly bear to cover up these stunning fashions with other clothing?
