Chantal Thomass departs her brand's creative direction

French lingerie designer Chantal Thomass is leaving the brand she created in 1975, which became part of the CL Group in 2011. Her departure marks the end of her role as creative director for the line that bears her name, characterized by audacious collections reflecting its creator’s own unique style. Recognized for its boudoir influences, Chantal Thomass lingerie is sold at its flagship store in Paris as well as in the Groups Chantelle multi-brand stores. The brand will continue under the creative direction of Natacha Jacquier-Laforge, studio director of the brand and one of the founder’s closest collaborators during the past 20 years. 



"We wish Ms. Chantal Thomass much success in her future projects," said Patrice Kretz, CEO of the CL group. "Her unique personality, talent and energy have helped break the codes of lingerie and its representation. We will take care to preserve the values that have led to this iconic brand's success and esteem: impertinence, irreverence and limitless creativity."
