La Perla appoints Pedro Lourenco

Pedro Lourenco has been appointed the creative director of La Perla with his collection for the esteemed brand being fall/winter 2016. Lourenco will be responsible for lingerie, sleepwear, beachwear, loungewear, accessories, menswear, as well as the Atelier collection.

“I am fascinated by the early days of the brand: a small atelier focusing on corsetry made to the highest standards and designed to enhance the beauty of women. The founder, Ada Masotti, a visionary woman, was aware of the fact that fashion was constantly being revolutionized and lingerie had to change with it. In her universe, modernity walked hand-in-hand with femininity and functionality did not preclude creativity. She changed the way the world thinks of lingerie. I am amazed by the philosophy she created and I want to bring it back today,” details Lorenco.

“The talent, style and creative maturity of Pedro Lourenço are the reasons of our choice, ”says La Perla Chairman Silvio Scaglia. “His approach and style relate to our founding values and reflect the path overtaken by the brand in the last two years. The sartorial excellence and sensibility for the female body combined with a quest for innovation are pillars of La Perla and match the skills and talent of this young designer. La Perla, together with Pedro Lourenço, will blur the boundaries between lingerie, beachwear and outerwear, extending its natural focus on sensuality, elegance and preciousness”.
