Chantal Thomass is a French luxury brand specializing in high-end lingerie and hosiery.

Sejarah
Chantal Thomass founded her eponymous label in 1975 after launching her first ready-to-wear company, Ter et Bantine, in 1967. She is credited with revolutionizing the lingerie industry by integrating intimate apparel into mainstream fashion shows. Her work challenged traditional perceptions of undergarments, transforming them into decorative accessories. Throughout the late twentieth century, the brand influenced global trends by reviving vintage silhouettes like the garter belt and the corset for a modern audience.
