Chantal Thomass
for the Vice Versa Hotel
The most famous designer of French lingerie is also the icon of Parisian glamour, voluptuous and even sometimes provocative, but never losing its sense of chic.
For the Vice Versa Hotel, she was the needed mistress of ceremony: inspired and a bit cheeky under her legendary fringe, only she could gather in one place all the facets of the City of Light, including fashion, luxury, gastronomy and art.
Chantal Thomass, who has rehabilitated the basque, garter belt and corset, and invented lace tights, has also conceptualised the decor of an entire hotel, built around a theme that is as subversive as it is universal: the 7 deadly sins.
"The theme has immediately come to my mind: 7 floors, 7 deadly sins! (...) I would naturally be expected to excel on Lust and Gluttony, but the real challenge resided in Avarice and Pride, for example, which are vices that I am less familiar with. I wish you happy sins for sweet nights! "
