8 PORTRAITS, 8 WOMEN
The date of March 8, which celebrates International Women's Rights Day around the world, is an opportunity for our House to reiterate its support and commitment to women. When Simone Pérèle, a young woman of 28, created her brand, she was determined to liberate bodies with audacity and creativity. She shook up the lingerie landscape with avant-garde techniques and iconic creations. That's why, every year, Simone Pérèle celebrates committed, self-confident women who, each in their own way, help society and women advance a little further in their quest for freedom.
