Like Deneuve

French actress Catherine Deneuve is over 80 now, and she remains sultry and glamorous. With a toss of her blonde mane, she has come to represent the confident sensuality that age seems to bring to many European women. Jane’s Vanity celebrates her allure with beautiful lingerie that is right for any age (or nationality).

JV garments speak to our bodies in many ways. Only satisfied with the best, Jane and Emily select lingerie and loungewear to love for a long time. The colors and patterns from various design houses intermingle playfully. You wear JV in your own way. But, in addition, there are some tricks.

For example, JV not only offers bras in a variety of cup sizes, but also bras with side straps that make it possible to adjust them to four bra sizes. Karolina Laskowska does this magic for you on all of her bras. Latest in: her lacy green Cassiopeia Emerald Lingerie Set. But admire them all. Seelanii design house from Warsaw offers the Jagoda longline set in berry silk that adjusts to three bra sizes. 

Another trick of agelessness comes in the form of chemises and short kimono robes. Their provocative shapes, yummy colors, silk and lace, make you feel…well, like a French film star. Wear the chemise alone while primping, showing slightly beneath a dress or blouse, or for sleeping. And just add the lovely kimono when you arise in the morning. Emma Harris offers mix and match choices. Which is good, because how could you choose between the Slip and Kimono Robe combos of the Elsa Chestnut,  the Rochelle Lime, the Veronique Cobalt, the Celeste Raspberry, or the Clara Chemise and Smoking Jacket in luscious deep purple? Layalina brings you a similar quandary with the Arielle designs in Lime and Ivory or Fuchsia and Red. 

Break the tie by opting for a Camisole Set with matching tap pant. Emma Harris has concocted them in the Celeste Champagne, the Celeste Raspberry (with Kimono Robe), or the Clara Vintage Rose (with Bed Jacket). Perhaps Merle Noir wins the day with her collaboration with Karolina Laskowska that results in the dreamy Nocturne Camisole Set whose lacy top is perfectly modest for an evening out and looks especially well with a black cocktail suit, midi skirt, or flowing trousers. Just one set left in size L.

And, thus adorned in JV, your charm will sweep away all the rest. Just like Deneuve’s.
