Combining regality with the boudoir culture is what Nichole de Carle does best. Statement lingerie pieces are underpinned by a playful sophistication which exudes seduction in the most eloquent and alluring way possible. De Carle is one of many brands taking an elegant spin on kink culture, resulting in collections which allow any woman to feel like royalty in the sheets.
Specialising in body contour and fit within a range of selections, including lingerie, swimwear, corsetry and bridal wear, Nichole continues to empower women and her brand through resolutely modern statements. The designer graduated from the world-renowned Contour Design course at De Montfort University with First Class Honours, where she developed and gained the rare skills permeated in her designs. Her career in the lingerie industry began in 2001, where she worked as a tailor for the mega design houses of Alexander McQueen in London, Donna Karan in New York, and Pleasure State in Australia.
Nichole was driven by the visions conceived at the McQueen house and went on to start ‘Nichole DeCarle’ lingerie in 2008. She began designing for private clients, which ultimately resulted in an international following of more regular global clients.
The British designer draws from her historic lineage to define her rich tastes, innovative style and finely-crafted signature. Her family, the de Carle Huguenots, are of Royal decent and renowned for their exceptional artisans and professionals in high societal positions. She is also inspired by architecture: some of her favorites include the Louvre in Paris, Westminster Abbey in London and the Chrysler building in New York.
The result of this inspiration is design that evokes beauty, wit and sophistication not only in their aesthetic, but in their fit. She is able to recreate an era of genuine care, bringing royalty to their knees in the bedroom through the most elegant and seductive way possible. De Carle only uses the finest silk and lace, allowing any woman to feel like a Queen in the sheets. De Carle even admitted to wearing her own pieces everyday.
“It’s silk, dynamic, fashion-forward lingerie that I just can’t seem to get enough of.”
De Carle’s uniquely fine style is acknowledged internationally by celebrities and is gracing pages in Russian & Spanish Vogue, Marie Claire, Glamour, and FHM. More recently, Cheryl Cole’s tour was dressed and undressed in striking sexy intimate apparel. De Carle also revealed that “Emma Watson, Kara Tointon and Rosie Huntington Whitely are also loyal fans of the brand.”
We ought to thank De Carle for allowing us to play the seductress any day we choose, without having to compromise our elegance.
This is one of our many brands that will feature in the up and coming Masters of Fashion Lingerie title.
