Designs by Chantal Thomass often possess what she calls the “over/under” quality—items that function as underwear, but are also beautiful enough to be worn as integral parts of an outerwear ensemble. Thomass began designing lingerie in 1975, when she audaciously offered romantic, nostalgic designs that opposed the prevailing style for practical undergarments.
