This means coordinated pieces and more natural forms. From a design perspective, the latter is reassuring and familiar. Hence, La Perla’s designs go with the contour of the figure, there are soft curves in the brassière designs, and the only exception to this is the brassière-bretelle.
   There is one point of contrast, as shown on the previous page: the combination of classical design with modern technology. No woman is going to take a retrograde step in comfort even if designs are becoming more restrained. Hence, La Perla has adopted a special air padding for one design though to the wearer—and observer—it is a classically shaped and styled bra.
