PARIS UNDRESSED: THE SECRETS OF FRENCH LINGERIE

Book ID/图书代码： 06481016B89738

English Summary/英文概要： American women wear underwear. French women wear lingerie.

French women seem inherently more confident in their bodies, able to embrace the sensuality of life and love. What’s their secret?
Lingerie.

Yet, despite an insatiable curiosity for all things French, lingerie remains an enigma: a tangled mélange of silk and lace, and confusion over what, how, when, and where to wear it. (Hint: it’s not just for special occasions.) Many women aspire to having a drawer full of silky, lacy undergarments, but have no idea where to start: How should my bra fit? How exactly do I wear a garter belt? Do bras and panties always have to match?

With user-friendly illustrations by French lingerie designer Paloma Casile, Paris Undressed: The Secrets of French Lingerie will help women feel at ease with their figures and show them how to integrate a lingerie lifestyle à la française to enhance their own femininity, confidence, and joie de vivre. It will transform the way women perceive their undergarments — and their bodies — and reveal how to co-ordinate a lingerie wardrobe to reflect personality and to meet lifestyle needs with the right dose of reveries. The book also includes a hand-selected guide to the most confidential addresses and lingerie boutiques in Paris, and discloses where to find the perfect bra, couture camisole, or cheeky panty.

Paris Undressed goes behind the seams, combining cultural references, expertise, and practical advice to inspire every woman to reconsider her underwear drawer.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 美国女人穿内裤。法国女人穿内衣。

法国女人似乎天生就对自己的身体充满自信，更能拥抱生活和爱所带来的性感成分。她们的秘诀就是内衣。

很多人都对法国的一切充满好奇。尽管如此，内衣仍是一个谜：各种纠缠的丝绸和蕾丝，而更纠结的是，究竟谁、什么时候、什么地点才能穿上它们。（提示：是的，这样的内衣并非只适用于“特殊”的日子。）许多女人都渴望能拥有满满一抽屉丝绸、蕾丝的内衣，却不知道从何开始：如何选择合适的胸罩？究竟怎样穿吊袜带？胸罩和内裤必须配套吗？

本书中包括十分有趣的、由法国内衣设计师Paloma Casile画的插图，能够帮助女人接受自己的身材，找到适合自己的内衣，提升自身的女性魅力、信心以及生活情趣。本书将改变女性对于内衣以及自己身体的认识，并揭示如何整理自己的内衣抽屉以反映个性和生活情趣。书中还包括一本精心挑选的巴黎内衣精品店地图，并告诉读者在哪里可以找到完美的文胸，定制吊带背心或是时髦的内裤。

本书结合文化背景、专业技能和实用建议，旨在启发每个女人重新考虑自己的内衣抽屉里究竟该放些什么。(LYR)

Awards/获奖情况：“An essential guide to every woman who wants to bring a little lace and a whole lot of Ooh La La! into her life.” ― Jamie Cat Callan, Author of French Women Don’t Sleep Alone

"The book is a surprisingly fun take on the ‘us versus them’ Paris expat experience, and demonstrates that good lingerie ― don’t ever call it underwear ― is part of the cultivation of the sensual that is essential to the French art of living.” ― Elle Canada

“[Paris Undressed] gives detailed information and tips on how to find the right bra for you, but also approaches the topic of lingerie in a much different language than we’re used to hearing. Namely, it’s not about sex, but rather it’s about feel.” ― 29secrets.com

“In the book, Kemp-Griffin essentially offers a mindfulness guide to wearing lingerie the French way. She tells readers how to take a Marie Kondo-like approach to their underwear drawer (though Step 1 is to call it lingerie, not underwear).”― Toronto Star
