"Mon coeur est de dentelle"
Carine Gilson’s story harks back to the 90s.
Freshly graduated from Antwerp’s Royal Academy of Fine Arts in fashion, Carine Gilson discovers Maille France -a small Brussels atelier specializing in fine underslips - and instantly fell in love with lingerie.
Soon she launched her Couture lingerie line, Carine Gilson, a synonym for a world filled with incomparable beauty. In no time, the press and finer stores from Japan, England, Italy and America came calling.
The prestige of Carine Gilson’s lingerie has grown quickly thanks to the excellence of her savoir-faire. Every piece is crafted by hand.
Mastering her craft, Gilson raises lace incrustation to an art form.
The Ateliers
From the bias work to the pleating, cutting and inlaying of the Chantilly Lace, everything is made by hand.
The Carine Gilson ateliers manufacture a limited quantity of designs, as they are exclusive crafts.
The House takes inspiration from artisanship and know-how of the past century to create novelty. Art déco, Japonism and Art nouveau are recurring themes of the collections.
The respect for technique and craftsmanship comes to life to create timeproof, lasting, indelible pieces and elevates a passion to the rank of an art form.
