If lace goes so well with our lingerie, it is because we see only advantages in it! Absolutely essential in our lingerie drawer, delicate, refined and highly coveted, it can be transformed at will, coming in all shapes and colors. Durable, easy to maintain, equally suited to special occasions as for everyday wear... Our lace lingerie is a real chameleon... Luxury! This sure value that adapts perfectly to all styles.
If 400-year-old lace carries with it a charm that is certainly old-fashioned, it is indeed the prerogative of modern women, women who dare and who take pleasure in wrapping their curves in pretty materials that rest on the skin like a caress. At ICONE, we share a passion for beautiful materials that we work with all the delicacy they deserve in order to create infinitely refined, elegant designer pieces that respect the curves that will welcome them.
Embark with us into the world of our house, creator of fine and contemporary lingerie, lace underwear which contains within them an (almost) magical power: that of enhancing the body of those who wear it.
Lace and fine lingerie: the ideal combination
We are convinced that fine lingerie necessarily involves the use of refined materials. Lace has a secret weapon, an irresistibly old-fashioned asset: it tells stories. Yes, lace lingerie transmits emotions.
The incredible history of lace
Did you know? Lace has celebrated its 400th anniversary and it is clear that this great lady has not aged a day. Created in Venice in the 16th century, it was Catherine de Medici who opened the doors of the Royal Court of France to it.
Initially strictly intended for men of the clergy, lace gradually began to be part of the wardrobe of members of the royal family. At the time, lace remained subject to sumptuary laws. By exclusively adorning the outfits of people of high society, lace conveyed an image of wealth and refinement before being democratized over the course of history.
Have you caught the snub to history? Previously intended only for men of the clergy, it now dresses the most daring and feminine lingerie of the 21st century . It is also for this ambivalent connotation: sometimes pure and innocent, sometimes for its accents full of charm and sensuality that we love to dress our fine lingerie in lace.
It is a subtle way, our way at least, of dressing women in the omnipotence that is theirs.
The thousand and one reasons to give in to the temptation of lace lingerie
Our fine lace lingerie evokes grace, self-confidence and finally, simply, taste, the pleasure of being a woman. A true symbol of assumed femininity, lace has always fascinated with its perfect balance between lightness and worked patterns, between sophistication and romanticism.
This material, so noble and yet somewhat intriguing, plays with us and the way we look at it. It fascinates us with its ability to reveal the body without ever showing too much, to undress and dress at the same time.
At ICONE, we take special care in selecting our materials, and lace is no exception. We are committed to showcasing France and its exceptional craftsmanship, which is why we collaborate with internationally renowned lacemakers such as Sophie Hallette, a true reference in the field. Do you remember Kate Middleton's wedding dress adorned with sublime lace that the whole world praised? This is once again a true work of art by Sophie Hallette.
In addition to being sufficient in itself to dress the feminine silhouette, our lace lingerie will accompany you for many years. And the height of happiness: in addition to proving particularly resistant to the passage of time, it is easy to maintain.
Always evoking the passing of time, our lace lingerie is characterized by its timelessness. Elegance, class, grace do not know the pangs of fashions that come and go. Truly timeless, our designer lingerie crosses all eras and all trends without being described as "outdated".
Finally, if you know our house and its values, you know that we share with you the same fights including that of inclusion. Our lace lingerie is imagined, designed and dreamed for all women of all styles and all body types. There is only one condition: that of loving fine lingerie.
Whether you have voluptuous curves, a slender silhouette, a discreet chest or even particularly defined curves: you are powerful and our lace lingerie is there to remind you of it.
Lace lingerie fits into the everyday life of modern women
Since its birth and through customs, lace has adapted to the rhythm and lifestyle of women.
In addition to having undeniable aesthetic assets, lace is now combined with just the right amount of elastane to blend perfectly with the curves of the body in order to give it a second skin effect that is becoming difficult to do without.
It is precisely this feeling of wearing nothing, of merging with your lingerie that is at the heart of the ICONE creative philosophy. Imagining such intimate pieces cannot go without a celebration of women, without actively listening to their daily needs, their desires, without infinite respect for their body and their freedom to move and exist, the fruit of so many past struggles.
To reconcile women to simply being "women", to encourage them to dare, to allow them to take a confident approach, because they have the right and are legitimate to do so, the philosophy and the way of creating lingerie must evolve.
The "woman object" has no reason to exist in our design house. On the contrary, our lace lingerie , far from being a simple useful and/or beauty accessory, becomes an extension of your body, of your femininity. Our lace bras, panties and bodysuits follow you in each of your movements and in all your challenges.
Elastane, then, for the optimal fit. But if you are already a fan of our brand, you know how much our creative team loves to play and combine beautiful materials. How about a triangle bra combining semi-opaque tulle with floral lace for a refreshing and romantic touch?
With each collection, you are offered a veritable festival of refined materials that come alive on a wide chromatic palette. Tulle, embroidery, lace… Are in the spotlight at ICONE!
Finally, and always with the desire anchored to our art to offer you pieces that respect your body, all our panty bottoms are designed in organic cotton labeled GOTS. We owe the best to your privacy, which is why we have selected excellence: a cotton excluding any chemical input, dye or adjuvant and respecting strict environmental and toxicological criteria.
Lace lingerie: genuine designer pieces accessible to all icons
At the origin of ICONE, there is this bold bet to associate noble materials and affordable prices with the objective of making available to all women living with their time, bold and in search of effortless, the possibility of accessing designer pieces. The bet has been kept, it still is and will continue to be kept.
Our lace bras as an ode to freedom
Our Parisian brand enjoys deconstructing the traditional codes of ultra-sophisticated designer lingerie, which it spices up with contemporary graphic cuts, combinations of materials, clever plays on transparency, a touch daring, always elegant, like the icon in all its splendor.
Like a pretty postcard, our often renewed collections embody a world in their own right.
Sometimes French, sometimes Italian, lace enhances our bras which hug the chest without ever oppressing it, leaving it with a lovely natural curve which comes alive as you move.
Still in this spirit of freedom of movement, the lace combines nicely with a ruffled basque particularly appreciated by the great contemporary romantics.
Are you looking for an outfit for a formal evening, a romantic one or simply to satisfy a particular desire to express all your femininity? Put on black tailored pants, a matching blazer and let the pretty lace of your bra show. You can complete your look with stilettos to lengthen the silhouette or with sneakers that will affirm your modern style, a style that does not fit into any box, a style that belongs to you and that resembles you.
Matching panties for all tastes and body types
Always in a desire to meet all your needs but also to correspond to this great plurality of styles and tastes which make all the richness of today's femininity, we try to offer in each collection diverse and varied lace lingerie panties without any compromise made on quality.
Sportswear fans will undoubtedly appreciate our panties designed in soft microfibre, ideally fitted and always decorated with refined finishes such as lace inserts. And since the essential is in the details, our lingerie bottoms are designed so that they blend in with your silhouette and leave no marks on your pants.
Of course, our other icons will not be left out and will find their happiness in our floral lace thongs, ruffled or not, more or less minimalist.
Depending on the patterns and the work of the lace, our designer lingerie will subtly reveal some nuances of your skin texture.
As you will have understood, our lace lingerie, constantly reinvented according to your desires and our inspirations, does not intend to correspond to any stylistic standard. It is refined and flighty, light and sophisticated, romantic and fine, contemporary and a bit old-fashioned and it will never cease to surprise you.
