CARINE GILSON: LINGERIE COUTURE
Couture lingerie by Carine Gilson is hand made in Belgium using the finest French silks and Chantilly laces. Whit Carine Gilson, perfection is a second nature. A Fine Arts graduate from the Brussels academy and the Antwerp Fashion Academy, Carine Gilson was only 23 when she bought a small sewing workshop. In 1994 she created the “Carine Gilson Lingerie Couture” line. The most precious and noble materials are used in her collections. Carine Gilson is one of the rare designers to imagine lingerie as more than a simple accessory. Each season, she is inspired by a different artistic theme (Russian ballet, Klimt, Art Nouveau, Art Deco…). Carine Gilson is the maestro of lingerie design. She only uses the finest Lyon silks and the most delicate Chantilly lace for bras, panties and negliges. All her creations are beautifully handcrafted and stitched by the skillful hands of a few seamstresses in the designer’s old fashioned workshop in Brussels. Production takes place in her own workshop in Brussels where, for more than 15 years, she has perfected her skills and the quality of her work. Handmade design in a “haute couture” spirit. The use of subtle colours gives the collection a timeless quality while remaining determinedly modern. Very quickly, she seduced the most prestigious shops and departments stores, from New York to Tokyo, via Rome and London. In 2006, Carine Gilson opened her first shop in Paris, and in the same spirit, in 2007 in London.
