Simone Perele SS14 collection in NYC.

Last month, we had the opportunity — and pleasure — to see Simone Pérèle’s SS14 collection in person at their showroom here in NYC. Simone Pérèle’s Caroline Soulagnat walked us through the collection with hanger after hanger of gorgeous pieces. The brand’s SS14 collection is described as revealing “…a woman of intrigue and appeal. She is easy going yet multifaceted, romantic yet mysterious, deliberate yet spontaneous.”

As always, each collection is inspired by art, travel and culture. Quality fabrics, embroidery, laces and ribbons are selected with infinite care by the brand to enhance a woman’s natural curve. Along with some gorgeous designs, Simone Pérèle’s SS14 collection showcases the brand’s innovation with state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques like 3D knit technology in their Andora range and aloe vera infused lace in Caressence.

Simone Pérèle believes that every woman deserves to be exquisitely comfortable in her sexy lingerie. Divinely soft “Lotion Touch” microfiber (one of the finest knits ever created), hugs curves to perfection with a silky-smooth sheen surface. Folded, stitch-free microfiber edges draw pure lines and a seamless finish against the skin, so that no elastic or creases are felt. Adjustable straps complete the collection, offering three different positions (straight, racerback and halter) for the most discreet look under clothing. Inspiration is also a work of art in the making. Each season, Simone Pérèle artisans reinvent the collection by adding a new creative design element. This season, Inspiration makes its debut in alluring Midnight Blue and with a chic assortment of six straps that decorate the shoulders, including Simone Pérèle’s signature guipure accents, and an ultra-sensual lace back. Showcasing Simone Pérèle’s iconic style, each piece is signed with a silver-studded brand logo.

Insolence embodies the woman who is unafraid to be herself, and seizes her life with unabashed passion. Her sense of freedom is illustrated with dove-like embroidered wings using Saint Gallen embroidery. Supremely soft to the touch, each wing is worked in a dynamic juxtaposition of matte versus brilliance. Ethereal wings adorn bra cups in perfect symmetry, angled towards the straps to create a harmonious design that simply soars. Insolence honors the multifaceted aspects of what it is to be a woman, and her beautifully complex, sometimes contradictory nature. In White, Insolence expresses her purity of spirit; Plum calls forth her mysteriousness and depth, and Flame awakens her wild, provocative nature. Her exquisite nature and unbridled independence is captured in every detail: satin straps, pleated bows, the touch of satin framing the bust, and the hints of radiance emanating from the embroidered wings. Insolence illuminates the freedom of the spirit.
