lingerie from the world-renowned Italian brand La Perla. La Perla
is celebrated for its sophisticated, sexy, and beautifully designed
and crafted lingerie. The company was founded by Ada Masotti, an
artisan skilled in the tradition of handcrafted Italian corsetry,
in 1954 when she opened a small lingerie boutique in Bologna. She
combined her impeccable craftsmanship and understanding of women's
bodies to fulfill their growing desire to possess undergarments
that were not only functional but also beautiful and alluring. The
continuous dedication to artisanship, to fine quality, and to
women's needs and desires has transformed the small Italian
boutique into an internationally beloved brand. La Perla's lingerie
is a mix of beauty and seduction, and it is the unparalleled choice
for women all over the world when they want to feel sensual and
desired. This is the only book ever published on the glamorous and
delicate lingerie produced by La Perla throughout its history. The
book first pays homage to the Italian craftsmanship, including the
use of fine Italian fabrics, that helped to establish La Perla as
the maker of sophisticated couture lingerie, and that continues
with today's collections to set the company apart from other
brands. Then it showcases the exceptional intimate garments the
company has created throughout the years with gorgeous archival
images as well as sexy, sumptuous photographs of the latest
collections.
