Step into a unique botanical universe. For Autumn/Winter 2022, Aubade invites Dutch luxury brand Iris Van Herpen to create an exclusive capsule collection, bringing the designer’s unbounded creativity into the world of exquisitely crafted French lingerie. Known for her other-worldly haute couture creations, Iris Van Herpen’s work breaks down the boundaries between exceptional artisanal craftsmanship and pioneering multi-disciplinary techniques. In a meeting of minds, both houses came together around their shared passion for luxurious materials and intricate techniques, resulting in an exquisite 10-piece collection where seduction meets savoir-faire.
Iris Van Herpen looked towards nature, exploring both its fragility and pulsating vitality, to create this one-of-a-kind collection where swirling leaf embroideries become mystical ornaments decorating the female body. The designer came up with a new take on Aubade’s iconic gradations, adding a modern touch: graphic architectural lines which contrast with the organic shapes of the embroideries. Named “Sensory Illusion”, the line is available in two colourways, each expressing a different interpretation of sensuality: Golden Leaves, a contrast between bronze foliage and graphic black lines, and Silk Rose, a blend of iridescent tones ranging from pale to antique pink.
The Aubade x Iris Van Herpen collection features a wireless triangle bralette, underwired triangle bra, plunging padded bra and half cup bra, all with contrasting top-strapping and elastics which structure the line for a graphic look. Each bra features a matching tanga, an Italian brief or a statement St. Tropez all-over lace shorty. Rounding up the collection are a bodysuit, nightie, and a seductive high waist suspender belt.
