Maison Lejaby x Lea Peckre‏ A/W'14 collection

A collaboration with designer talent Lea Peckre and French lingerie pioneer Maison Lejaby– 2015 can only mean one thing: the much awaited introduction of the A/W’14 pret-a-porter collection.

Unexpectedly, the rare collaboration of Maison Lejaby, a prominent figure in high-end French lingerie and Lea Pecke a 29-year-old designer, is something out of the ordinary. However, out of the unexpected fruition, the beginnings of creative genius in the fine line between lingerie and pret a porter has been born.

Lea Peckre’s designs focus on architectural volumes and striking dark colours in parallel to Maison Lejaby, with its long running collection Maison Lejaby Couture. A collaboration between a reputable brand and a new designer often brings with it a wave of the contemporary. Yet, Lea Peckre stresses the importance of it being very important to be able to define one’s own style when being in a collaborative process, especially when you begin in this trade. Consequently, I have built a collection in my own way, following the codes of the trademark specific to Maison Lejaby.

Sensuality, femininity and seduction are all key themes running throughout the A/W’14 collection as the classic elements of silk and lace are dismissed to pave way for the contemporary. Unusual materials such as alpaca, neoprene and lycra are used to design sensually crafted bodysuits and bustiers. For Maison Lejaby, Lea Peckre has instilled a breath of fresh air in the underwear as outwear trend that is not going away any time soon.
