"... pieces are beautifully crafted" - Net-a-porter.com
Birds of paradise, exotic flowers, the Garden of Eden, Gustav Klimt, Art Nouveau and Les Ballets Russes are sources of inspiration for the fantastic and exclusive oeuvre of Belgian lingerie and nightwear designer Carine Gilson. She transforms Calais lace and silk from Lyon into 'haute lingerie' with masterly finesse, and her designs catapult the imagination into a dream world of sensuality and elegance. This book explores her philosophy and work, focusing on her designs, the luxurious material she sources, and the craftsmanship of the atelier that has been transforming lace and silk into exquisite and luxurious lingerie, robes, and nightgowns for nearly 30 years. Carine Gilson's couture lingerie is sold in her own stores in Paris, London, Taipei and Brussels and in famous couture houses around the world.
Karen Van Godtsenhoven is an associate curator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Carine Gilson studied at the Antwerp Fashion Academy. She designs luxurious bespoke lingerie, cocktail dresses, kimonos and cruise wear in her Brussels atelier. Her creations have been on the covers of Bazaar, Vogue, The New York Times Magazine, Madame, and other leading magazines.
