Newer notables KNOWN AS THE INITIATOR OF THE “DESSUSDESSOUS” , LINGERIE WHICH CAN BE WORN AS OUTERWEAR AS WELL, VANNINA VESPERINI ON 13 OF SEPTEMBER UNVEILED A NEW STORE. A SPACE ENTIRELY DEVOTED TO WOTH MEN AND WOMEN’S DESIRES, LOCATED IN THE HEART OF PARIS’ 6TH ARRONDISSEMENT. Vannina Vesperini Taking inspiration from the Italian Renaissance – with an exquisite design carried out by architect Francois Muracciole – Vannina Vesperini’s boudoir store unravels on two floors for a total area of 431 ft2, transporting anyone who enters into a dreamlike atmosphere: a beautiful sky on the ceiling, a clear allusion to The Nuptial Chamber by the painter Mantegna, and walls with golden leaf overlays in delicate lace prints, oozing luxury reminiscent of the Venetian palaces. The captivating universe is equally inspired by the building’s majestic façade, with a high relief representing unusual motifs such as the head of rhinoceros combined to the head of Mercury. On entering customers are welcomed by a comfortable modern style sofa with rosewood color velvet covering where they can sip tea in exotic fragrances as they browse through the stylist’s latest lingerie and ready to wear collections. Want something even more special? Vannina Vesperini receives her clients by appointment in the cosy first floor salon for exclusive consultations and to create unique tailor-made items according to specific desires and requirements. First class treatment in a store that is an absolute must. Vannina Vesperini – Paris – France
