The french designed Jean Paul Gaultier first created a collection with La Perla in 2010. This lingerie set was designed for that collection. It is decorated with scrolls of soutache braid, which is often used to trim military uniforms and tailored clothes. The decoration is tactile and adds body to the tulle.
