La Perla Malizia: Cherchez la Femme La Perla Lingerie: New from the Malizia Collection
Cherchez La Femme

02/08/06
The new Malizia collection opts for an elegance without ostentation and slightly faded by time, offering an image of carefree sophistication. A "shabby chic" feel, pastel colours, micro-prints and finishings that recall the laces found in flea markets; the art of combining different patterns and materials according to whim: the personal touch for a romantic and extremely feminine underwear.

COLOURS
Delicate pastel shades and soft combinations that range from old-fashioned pink to peach and to mud, with touches of ivory as a common theme; then there are shifts in shade from light blue to turquoise, and finally the classic black and white.

STYLE
Mix is chic. This is the philosophy of a collection that has creative and sophisticated mixing as its raison d’etre.

• Leavers lace and "plumetis" tulle, combined tone-on-tone or in the version with ivory lace together with a warm Provencal pattern.
• A folk interpretation of the "patchwork" theme also for the printed series that softly mixes micro-speckled and paisley motifs on satin, tulle and silk georgette, with a cotton lace border as a trait d’union.
• Cotton muslin comes back for a fresh and natural style, combined with a very light polka dot tulle and with macramé details.
• Jacquard mesh and stretch microfibre for a minimal-sport look that lends elegant simplicity to the technical qualities of a latest generation fabric.
• Finally, the garments that repropose a silk-effect material and styles typical of the corsetry creations of the 1960s and 1970s have a distinctly vintage feel.

CHARMING GIRL
Naive prints and gluttonous beads. "Charm" pendants and rainbow stripes. And then jeans-effects and micro patterns with Indian inspiration. All on a sexy-glamour note.

COLOURS
Pink and azure, yellow and green, orange and red.

THE PLAIN COLOUR
Sophisticated and slightly retro, the bon ton bow that does up on the neckline or that invents the most frivolous G-string. The irresistible "charm" pendants with a multicolour cord motif and the "mini-boules" in coloured plastic that invent highly coloured necklaces or belts on the garments, offering an original alternative to the jewels to wear on the beach. Sunny colours with contrasting edges and oriental mood for the embroidery in cotton knots on micro fibre.

THE PRINTS

• JEANS & FLOWERS: "Hawaiian" flowers matched with "jeans" or micro "tie" designs.
• STRIPES: The "navy" stripes are inevitable, here in the jacquard version on micro fibre, personalised by coupling with plastic mini-boules, the main theme in the "jewel-bikini" with embroidered cups.
• GADGET: Coloured shoppers, lipsticks, sun creams and lollipops: a frivolous glam spirit for the naive print on micro fibre.
• CACHEMIRE EVOLUTION: The classic paisley design explores new nuances, modulated on the black/grey tones, on pink and azure.
