The Maison Lejaby Hit Parade Continues with the Elixir Line's Manon Collection, Given Whom You Know's Highest Recommendation!

Earlier this week, we featured the Precieuse Collection and the Kerala Collection by Maison Lejaby, a brand that has been pursuing excellence since 1884.  We have been thrilled to kick off our coverage of this prestigious brand this week!  Of the three lines we tried, we love the Manon the most!  The fit is just superb.  Like the previous two, it boasts premium materials and acute attention to detail and workmanship (or maybe workwomanship!) that is to be coveted by women everywhere.  Made in France bien sur, Elixir is one of the four divisions of Maison Lejaby.  Luxury, curves and sensuality... Maison Lejaby's Elixir line signs an ultra glamorous trilogy for women in full bloom. Enhanced décolletés and cleavage, hips and waits sculpt the body... such dazzling seduction assets.  The new Lejaby Elixir of joy sublimates curvy silhouettes with six sexy lines of garments, that are both glamorous and ultra lightweight. In addition, this hommage to Botticelli -rather than Giacometti- insures great support, in order to better exalt the curvy aesthetic ideal.

The Spring - Summer collection reflects the creativity and know-how Lejaby's has proven for nearly 130 years, and has been designed to beautify hips and cleavage. Gourmet fruity-colors from raspberry to pomegranate bring life to this juicy line. Elixir required the fabrication of specific bras-three part cups- a vertical seam redefining the contours of the breast with a smooth and rounded shape. Perfectly maintained by a set of flexible underwires, Elixir blossoms with sumptuous dresses showing sexy plunging necklines, high-waisted skirts , together with fine bras embellished with embroidered veil... How to better reveal the Elixir woman in you?

Transparency and munificence of the curves are outlined in English style embroidery... Manon praises femininity in all of its glory. New romantics and women of character succumb to the charming top, Brazilian thong and silky baby doll, parted just beneath a satin bow that holds a dizzying cleavage.

 

 The Manon Collection of the Elixir Line by Maison Lejaby has earned Whom You Know's Highest Recommendation!  Add this to your collection today.

With mad elegance, Lejaby Lingerie and 

swimwear collections open the saga for Spring-Summer 2013 with great panache... ONE COLLECTION AHEAD OF THE COMPETITION SINCE 1884

Constant innovation 

With women always at the heart of its focus and as a precursor of trends, in the 1960s, Maison Lejaby negotiated for the exclusivity of LYCRA® fibre in France. Until that time, the elastic parts of a bra were composed of natural gum (rubber, in fact), which dried out and disintegrated over time. 

LYCRA® would add its extreme lightness and du

rability to create new, optimized comfort. Com

bined with Nylon, also new on the market, the c

are of garments became easier (rapid drying, no 

ironing, etc.). Today, the selection and attention 

focused on sophisticated materials which 

LYCRA® fibre “dynamises” are major assets to Maison Lejaby’s very modern collections. 

A partner in women’s lib

The 1970s were marked by the women’s lib movement. Again, Maison Lejaby was there. In res

ponse to miniskirts and the winds of freedom, the 

Maison innovated and opened up new horizons in 

the world of lingerie. The Liberty line created in 

1972 was a true revolution: a line with no rein

forcement and in six bright colors, far removed 

from the ultra-classical styles of yesteryears. In 

1977, the Mandarine line reworked scallops, until 

then used only on slips, to offer a new form of decorative, seductive décolletés. 

Creator of invisibility in corsetry, w

here lingerie often rhymes with seduction, 

Maison Lejaby takes a different stance to offer 

women a new approach to lingerie. In 1995, the 

brand launched Nuage and for the first time used 

microfiber, a material that was very new at the 

time. Nuage marked the beginning of the era of 

Invisibles and Ultra Comfortable. Season after sea-son, Nuage has become even more natural, chic, t

rendy and refined, and can be broken down 

infinitely to please women in all their daily mome

nts. In 1999, Invisible Briefs were included in 

the collection and became references in terms of c

omfort and innovation. More than 13 million 

units have already been sold and the success continues today. 

For their 2013 Spring-Summer Collection, Madame Colette’s couture workshops want to sublimate the heritage of the past via: 

- A culture of permanent creation and perfecting 

- A daring combination of materials both highly technical and luxurious 

- An obsessional search for the perfect fit 

- The revival of expertise in couture methods and craftsmanship, 100% handmade and 100% made in France 

Spring brings new life. Flowers, with reborn courage, peek through the snow.Robins sing a se

renade and their dances of love light up the sky.  A

fter the winter, the survival instinct takes over 

and nature, back to its essentials, becomes all the 

stronger. The same holds true for the new 

Maison Lejaby: a delicate plant breaking through 

the ice, but full of the sap that transforms buds 

into fields of flowers.The 2013 Spring-Summer 

Corsetry, Swimwear and Couture collection pays 

homage to all the “hands” - the small, modest and 

courageous flowers, that bring life to Maison 

Lejaby Couture’s new beginnings. Homage to cou

ture design. A style that is worked to perfection. A 

very precise, but light hand tracing a structured 

line. Homage to the loveliest materials, the most 

precious fabrics and the most delicate lace. Fine 

silk dressed in hand-crafted embroidery.  H

omage to the very difficult work of colour on 

silhouettes. Calligraphy in China ink. The obviousn

ess of a monochrome line. Off-whites with “toi 

et moi” and off-blacks. Then a fantastic palette of 

pastels. Couture colours: the culture of precise 

colours. Delicate, contrasted, surprising yet 

seductive hues. Homage to the Maison’s perfect 

fit. An invisible scientific approach to the anatomy 

and comfort. An art forgotten once worn. And 

that is its success – when a good fit and pleasure 

meet. When hidden stitches reveal character. 

Homage to daring corsetry that is no longer 

concealed – a veil to unveil.Apparent or conceal 

ed: the art of seduction. Letting the body live free. Homage to the unique expertise of the corsetry 

seamstresses. Prodigies who tame shapes and 

matter with a firm but light hand, just like a caress. 

Homage to Madame Colette, the Studio’s direct

or, who lends her eyes, hands and voice to Cou

ture Corsetry. The writer Colette loved spring 

flowers. Colette, the concept boutique, sparkling 

with blue dots. Every spring, Madame Colette 

brings corollas to life, lovingly draping the upper 

body.Homage to eight moments in a Parisian wo

man’s life.Timeless, yet so modern.
