La Perla Atelier Couture Spring 2015

Lingerie and sportswear are rarely shown together, and their appearance on the couture runway courtesy of La Perla 

Hooded silk satin robes and basketball shorts with appliquéd frastaglio lace made with real gold thread had a sporty spin reminiscent of boxer’s garb, and certainly packed a punch.

The Italian brand, courtesy of creative director Emiliano Rinaldi, paraded what it termed “inside/out” looks for the made-to-order La Perla Atelier Collection, an expansion on its first such creations that were launched for the brand’s 60th anniversary last year.

 N.Campbell(who closed the show) said “I am honored. I am 44 years old, I am not 20 years old, like these girls.”
