HISTORY of LINGERIE
A redoubtable weapon
Lingerie is not simply a matter of taste. For women, it has everything to do with instinct
and sensitivity, fundamentally feminine qualities. Men who love women, and know a
little about their intimate relationship with lingerie, cannot help but join Jacques Laurent
in his plea: "Because lingerie clings to the most secret, the most febrile, and, for men, the
most thrilling parts of a women's body.....it allows the immagination to run riot.
Women may be running a risk if they forget that lingerie is a unique weapon-unique
because it is designed to please the man it strikes while arousing in him the desire
to strike back."
