Founded in Paris in 2017 by designer Lisa Chavy, LIVY brought a fresh, daring vision to French lingerie.
After more than a decade designing for the industry's most respected names — collaborating on lingerie for Dior, Kenzo, Christian Lacroix, and Cacharel — Chavy launched her own label with one ambition: to create lingerie that goes beyond lingerie. Pieces designed to be worn as part of personal style, not hidden underneath.
LIVY sits at the intersection of three worlds: traditional French craftsmanship, 19th-century vintage romance, and modernist architectural design. It mixes Calais lace — the same heritage lace used by classic French maisons — with thoroughly contemporary techniques: microfiber, laser-cut edges, thermofusion (heat-sealed seams), and bold transparency.
The result is unmistakable: lingerie that emphasises the body through strong, deliberate lines. Jewellery-like pieces. Tattoo-effect designs that play with what's revealed and what's suggested. Mono-armature constructions that look effortless but require remarkable engineering. LIVY redefines where lingerie ends and personal style begins — backs, sides, "new décolletés" all become part of the design.
LIVY organises its collections around three signature moods, each named for a city that captures its spirit:
Paris — seductive, refined, unmistakably French. Calais lace, sensual silhouettes, the heritage of Parisian elegance reimagined for today.
New York — daring, innovative, architectural. Sharp lines, technical materials, the energy of a city that never stops reinventing itself.
Los Angeles — relaxed, effortless, sun-warmed. Pieces that move with the body, easy to wear, comfortable enough to live in.
Together, these three lines express what LIVY is really about — the idea that a woman is many things at once, and her lingerie should reflect that range, day by day, mood by mood.
Each LIVY piece begins with the same Calais lace tradition that defines the very best of French lingerie — woven on 19th-century looms in northern France, refined over generations of expertise. From there, LIVY adds something different: bonded edges instead of stitched ones, laser-cut details that would have been impossible a generation ago, transparent panels designed with architectural precision.
The pieces are designed in Lisa Chavy's Paris studio, with materials sourced from France and craftsmanship distributed between France, Morocco, and select international ateliers. Every collection holds to one principle: that contemporary lingerie can be both technically inventive and rooted in true French savoir-faire.
LIVY is for the woman who sees lingerie as part of her style, not separate from it. Who appreciates that intimate apparel can be artistic, daring, and architectural — without losing comfort or sensuality. Who wants pieces that feel personal, that surprise her, that change how she feels when she puts them on.
Price range: €120-1050 per piece.
