Her deep black bob hair makes her unmistakable. She has made alluring and scandalously sexy lingerie democratic, using silk trimmed of lace, threads and frills, at a time lingerie needed to be only functional. According to her website, she even invented lace tights. Chantal Thomass is the goddess of chic underwear.
In the video, she introduces her to her countryside home. The similarities between her pink, grey, black personal interior and her Rue Saint Honore boutique in Paris is striking.

By the way, pink, black grey … Does that make you think about a big worldwide lingerie label? You get it. Victoria’s Secret. I think Chantal Thomass is a huge inspiration for Victoria’s Secret. The colors, the deco of the boutiques, some of their items. Thomass and Victoria’s Secret collaborated for a special winter 2004 collection. Well before H&M and Karl Lagerfeld or Stella McCartney or Jimmy Choo dit it.

I almost missed her once. I was in the fitting room at the second floor of her boudoir boutique in Paris, rue Saint Honore. This fitting room is conceived like a dream bedroom. Comfortable sofas, carpets all around and bold curtains. All pink, glossy black and grey, Thomass’ favorite colors. This room is created to make you feeling very special. I was with my BFF, trying some sexy underwear on, and admiring myself in the miror.

She appeared from a hidden door, said good afternoon, and went down the stairs before I realized it was herself. I just said good afternoon back. It was quite awkward to get caught half naked.
