A Fusion of Timeless Inspirations

Lise Charmel’s Éclat d’Or Collection draws from a rich tapestry of influences that span centuries and cultures. The collection finds its muse in the mythological grandeur of Greek goddesses, the enigmatic allure of Egyptian tombs, the intricate beauty of Renaissance triptychs, and the artistic brilliance of Gustav Klimt. This eclectic blend of references infuses the lingerie with a sense of timeless elegance and profound sophistication.

The collection is more than just lingerie; it is an homage to haute couture jewelry. Each piece is meticulously crafted to emulate the opulence of fine jewelry, transforming the body into a canvas of luxury and refinement. The incorporation of these historical and artistic elements not only enhances the visual appeal of the lingerie but also imbues it with a narrative depth that resonates with the wearer.

Craftsmanship that Shines

At the heart of Éclat d’Or lies Lise Charmel’s unwavering commitment to exceptional craftsmanship. The collection features exclusive embroidery, meticulously laminated in gold, and applied to transparent mesh. This combination creates a mesmerizing effect, where the golden embellishments seem to float gracefully over the skin, enhancing the allure of the wearer.

The transparent mesh serves as a subtle yet seductive backdrop, allowing the intricate gold embroidery to shine in all its glory. The result is a series of pieces that are not only visually stunning but also embody the luxury and sophistication associated with Lise Charmel’s legacy.

A Statement of Luxury and Artistry

Éclat d’Or is more than a collection; it is a statement of the extraordinary. It represents the pinnacle of lingerie design, where every detail is thoughtfully considered to create an experience that is both enchanting and luxurious. The interplay of gold and transparent mesh, combined with the collection’s rich artistic inspirations, makes Éclat d’Or a truly astonishing example of how lingerie can transcend its traditional boundaries to become an art form in its own right.

As the holiday season approaches, the Éclat d’Or Collection by Lise Charmel stands ready to captivate and enchant, offering a glimpse into a world where lingerie meets high art. It is a celebration of beauty, craftsmanship, and the eternal allure of gold.

Even today’s plus sized models don’t represent the rainbow of shapes and sizes that are the average American woman. Add to that nuances of religious and personal convictions and Blush has quickly evolved to be a lingerie company whose customer base includes conservative Christians and Muslims who may not want to shop in a traditional adult store or on a site with models. 

“Lingerie shopping shouldn’t make people feel uncomfortable or compromise their values.”

“We saw a need to serve a large portion of the American public. Our message is positive, fun, and wildly inclusive of every-body. We love helping men and women feel comfortable and confident.” says the founder.

BlushXO sets itself apart by offering more than just traditional teddies and babydolls. They’ve branched out into leatherwear and offering romantic gifts like massage oils, bubble bath, and more. Their product offering expansion came after listening to requests from customers that were looking to purchase romantic gifts, but were hesitant to go in store. The playfulness of lingerie and toys went hand and hand and the company has seen overwhelmingly positive response from new and repeat customers.

“It’s a common misconception that people in more conservative communities don’t have a need for things like toys or romantic gift. We’’ve found that the need is there and are here to meet it without forcing customers outside of their comfort zone.”

BlushXO is ramping up for the holiday season with a planned Black Friday sale and holiday giveaways on their social platforms.

BlushXO’s line up of body positive lingerie without models includes:

• Plus size lingerie up to 5X 
• Leatherwear
• Corsets and Bustiers
• Babydolls and Chemises

While the Curve brand has enjoyed onsite shows in the United States, with events in New York, Las Vegas and an inaugural Los Angeles edition launched in February, its organizers began planning digital alternatives early on in the first months of stateside COVID-19. With 21 webinars produced since April, Curve has enjoyed a lot of preparation to introduce Curve Connect as its new virtual offering, allowing the intimates-event brand to expand its reach to other regions including Japan, Brazil, Kenya and Australia.

“The platform we used is more suited for matchmaking and networking. We were allowing the brand reps to contact the buyers on the platform,” Curve Chief Executive Officer Raphael Camp said. “They have access to the buyers directory and can reach out to them and request meetings or chat with them. That is what was different. It’s what I bet on, and it was successful.”

As a software solution that focuses on matchmaking powered through artificial intelligence, the London-based Grip focuses on building relationships—a facet of industry events that different groups within the apparel business have been trying to reclaim through their virtual events.

“This platform allowed us to broadcast a lot of content. We produced almost 20 hours of original content ourselves, from roundtables to panels and webinars,” Camp said. “We offered workshops for retailers as well, to survive and do business during these difficult times. Different types of content curated for retail, for marketing, Instagram, and of course we had content about lingerie—famous influencers and trendsetters on the next-year and three-years-from-now trends.”

Some of these segments included “Sourcing and Sustainability: Redefining Values,” “Return to Sexy!” and “Lingerie Shopping in the Era of Black Lives Matter: How to Update Your Brand or Boutique for the Time.” During this time of social distancing and safe-shopping guidelines, the event also afforded opportunities for attendees to learn how to fit bras during this new atmosphere of selling lingerie by featuring “Are You Ready to Reinvent Your Bra-Fitting Business for 2020?,” “The Virtual Fit School: ‘How to Survive and Thrive in This New Time” and “A Lingerie Fitters Guide to Addressing Breast Surgeries.”

Another big moment off the virtual-trade-show floor was the presentation of the NPD & Curve Excellence Awards, which highlighted the outstanding work of the industry’s veteran retailers, beloved brand representatives and innovative labels with the intimates-event brand and market-research company collaborating to celebrate changemakers within the category.

“We organized the first-ever Curve Excellence Awards in partnership with The NPD Group, which awarded the best brands, and on the Curve side we awarded the retailers who did some charity projects and gave back to the community and essential workers in the area,” Camp said. “One of the top retailers, Danny Koch of Town Shop in New York City, received the lifetime achievement award. He got his retail store from his parents, who got it from their parents, so it’s a family history of lingerie.”

A retailer who has attended Curve’s shows over the course of her business’s 14-year history, Yvonne Khakzadi-Alicea, founder of Granite Bay, Calif.’s Yves Lingerie, thought the show afforded opportunities to bring together the intimates community. She emphasized that exhibitors must make the virtual-show process easy by making certain their line sheets, pictures, pricing and other pertinent information are available through the platform. Khakzadi-Alicea, who specializes in larger cup sizes, was approaching trends cautiously as she placed orders, needing to fill in and search for Fall and Holiday.

“I got together with Chantelle and Aubade. She sent me some samples. Dita Von Teese is sending samples so I can look at the line,” she said. “I am not taking a lot of risk right now. I don’t think anybody is. I went through 2008, the last time the market fell. We have to be cautious. Loungewear, sleepwear, but something that is special and is okay in the mid-price point. You want to offer a good product, but I don’t see someone spending $500 on a top.”

Khakzadi-Alicea advised her peers to remain authentic to their clientele with pieces that reflect their core customer base. While she doesn’t feel that taking risks is wise at the moment, investing in a single special piece to see if it resonates with customers is a better choice to freshen up inventory, yet she felt there is a special part of selling intimates that cannot be ignored.

On the exhibitor side, Eveden Senior Vice President of North America Laurel Nash saw trends in skin tones, pinks—particularly a bright version of the hue—warm blues and rose. She saw customers ordering their bestsellers in new colors, allowing them to remain with tried-and-trusted products while refreshing their offerings safely.

“In general, our customers are buying our bestsellers in new colors. The fit process is very different than it has been before, so customers trust the styles that they generally know fit, and they are very interested in new colors,” Nash said. “Ilonia is our strongest-selling brand, and we have a bra called Matilda that has beautiful dot detailing on the top cup. For this season we introduced hearts instead of dots, so there were some nice, whimsical details there.”

Noting the seamless manner in which Curve expanded on its educational webinar offerings by providing panels throughout the Curve Connect show, Nash recognized the importance of members of the industry coming together to learn from their peers. She felt that the show was true to its name by connecting people within the industry during this challenging time.

“Just what the name says, Curve Connect,” Nash said. “It has helped connect the lingerie community. Even if we’re not connecting physically on the platform, it’s helped people realize that life is going to go on and we can look forward together and we’re in this together.”

With one edition of Curve Connect on the books, Camp revealed that the virtual platform would be open until late November. While he foresees potential for the virtual component to grow, remaining part of the brand, he is also planning for next trade-show season beginning with a Los Angeles edition of the onsite version of Curve, with a tentative event schedule planned for the first weekend in March 2021.

While 2020 marks the 13th edition of the highly-anticipated Fashion Week event, it is the first to incorporate Live Video Shopping into the programme. Etam’s partnership with Lafayette Plug and Play innovation platform has enabled them to fast track the live video shopping solution with Bambuser.

The show is also available to watch and shop now on the retailer’s website.

Etam Group is something of a pioneer in the digital customer experience, constantly building bridges between its bricks-and-mortar stores and online universe and places its ‘phygital’ approach at the core of its strategy.

“Our goal with this partnership is to keep on speeding up the integration of innovative solutions, to enhance the customer experience and roll out an omnichannel business model,” says Elya Hasson, Etam Group’s Chief Digital Officer.

This year’s show, themed “Glamor, Rhinestones and Sequins,” turned Paris’ famed Boulevard Haussmann into a socially-distanced catwalk. Audiences viewing the live stream were taken “backstage,” where they had an insiders’ view of the models and celebrities as they prepare for the show, which started at 21:00 CET.

Once the models had left the catwalk 30 minutes later, the audience thenhad the opportunity to purchase looks from the catwalk via Bambuser’s highly-interactive and engaging Live Video Shopping technology.

Following the surge in demand for live video shopping, Bamabuser also announced the establishment of companies in the UK and US, with new offices in London and New York respectively.

“Etam’s annual Live Show is traditionally an amazing experience, and with the addition of Live Video Shopping, they’re taking it to a new level that’s more participative and engaging,” says Sophie Abrahamsson, Chief Commercial Officer at Bambuser. “We’re confident that audiences are going to love feeling more like they’re actually at the show – plus they get the instant gratification of buying the items they’ve just seen. It’s very powerful, and even when the world returns to ‘normal,’ we foresee this is what the fashion week of the future will look like.”
