BY SALLY F. WHITE
Moving beyond the traditional bridal trousseau lingerie, contemporary designer Claire Pettibone captures feminine wiles and romance in a 2005 collection of white lace and embroidery lovelies. Upon graduating from Otis Parsons School of Design in Los Angeles in 1989, she elected to venture into the world of fine lingerie with a vision of sexy, yet comfortable, undercover glamour for modern ladies. She has plied her art for 10 years to perfect the fit and fabric for a series of collections, from floral printed tulle to elaborate stretch lace and even knit. Her luxury lingerie has been featured in movies and television shows and attracts celebrity notice around the world. Her dreamy spring bridal selection combines Venise appliqués with Chantilly stretch lace and silk ribbon flowers.
