Lingerie as a second skin, capable of interpreting every facet of femininity – this has become a pillar of the international La Perla relaunch, with its acquisition by holding company Pacific Global Management, headed by Silvio Scaglia. The company’s new direction is reflected in the new image for its retail arm, which started with the flagship stores in Milan and London in winter 2014.
La Perla opens its second Boutique in ParisParis is the fashion capital where La Perla has just opened its doors to the second new boutique which complements its historic counterpart in Faubourg St. Honorè. The new boutique is located in the Rive Gauche chic heart at the crossing of Carrefour de la Croix Rouge and the prestigious Rue de Grenelle. On September 24th took place the cocktail party for the grand opening hosting special guests such as the actresses Emmanuelle Beart, Emmanuelle Saignier, Melanie Thierry, Dolores Chaplin, Pauline Lefèvre and celebs such the writer Amanda Sthers. Femininity has been really the absolute protagonist of this event.

The new design for the La Perla boutiques is the result of the work of architect Roberto Baciocchi, founder of the internationally renowned architectural studio with its headquarters in Arezzo. He also took the reins for all of the stores of Prada, Miu Miu and Church’s.
The project is clearly inspired by great Italian architecture, and was put together by Baciocchi for La Perla. References to the work of Carlo Scarpa from the Castelvecchio Museum in Verona can be found in the soft, dusty coloured walls dressed in painted fabric, and in the display cases within the store. The ultra-feminine range of colour shades, from pale blue, through dusky pink to daffodil yellow, plays on the luxurious essentiality of the hexagonal Portuguese marble slabs. Severity and softness are also found where the paving meets the rugs and silk tub armchairs in the same pastel tones as the walls.Emanuelle-Beart - La Perla

The arch is one of the distinctive architectural elements of Italian art and here it becomes a backdrop lined in pink onyx inside each window. The La Perla creations are displayed in transparent cases with gilded metal hangers or presented to customers on velvet-lined trays.
One of the main features of the new La Perla project is the gateway in front of the fitting rooms: a symbolic element that marks this space devoted to intimacy, creating an exclusive place in which femininity reigns. The fitting rooms, featuring amethyst-coloured walls, are defined by backlit tulle panelling, creating a light, mellow and comfortable space. Another element is the metal grate feature that recalls ancient confessionals, and a “Service” bell for calling a member of the sales staff.

The second floor of the new boutique is an espace privé, dedicated to VIP customers, where they can access exclusive services such as the new Made to Measure collections.
The opening of this new french boutique is an important stage in the expansion project of the retail arm, considered to be a benchmark in the great La Perla international relaunch. The new image will be unveiled in the flagship La Perla boutiques, which includes Barcellona, San Francisco, New York.
