Our Favorite Time of the Year; New Carine Gilson

It's always a pleasure to present the latest collection from Carine Gilson; one of the most high-end luxury lingerie designers in the world. The Fall/Winter 09/10 pieces are perfection, from the delicate gold Chantilly lace that tastefully trims each piece, to the luxurious hand-dyed satin silks. Carine actually designs her own lace, so it's just another exclusive you get when wearing her items. Our favorites this season include the asymmetrical chemise and the gorgeous fringe shawls! Actually, with Carine Gilson, it's hard to choose a favorite when we know that each piece is handmade with the precision and craftsmanship that is practically a lost art in our modern world. Another perk is that most of these pieces can be worn as outerwear...because Carine Gilson is meant to be shown off!
