| Gallery label | Sugar and spice
Fifi Chachnil's lingerie often draws on vintage silhouettes. Her designs are feminine, flirtatious and spiced with a touch of girlish playfulness and sentimentality. Her classic 'babyloo' playsuit combines a blouse with bloomers styled like those worn by girls for gym in the 1920s.
Chachnil associates closely with Paris and Parisian women but she is inspired by, 'toutes les filles' [every girl].
