Lightness is another theme for the season, according to La Perla. The use of transparent Leavers lace and tulle contribute to this. Exquisite embroidery, as one would expect from a top-of-the-line lingerie brand, feature, from careful use of lace to Florentine fret-work appliqués.
   The items seem more classy now that they appear in La Perla stores, than when they first were shown under harsh catwalk lights. They are softer than what we first expected, with La Perla itself claiming that some of the silk designs having ‘rigour and snobbery’. Still provocative, they have a very different impact, enhancing the figure rather than detracting from it through overdesign. They contrast the sharper shades of La Perla's beachwear collection this season, which also adopted a colourful theme.
