Even more spacious than its famous Shoe Galleries, Selfridges newly inaugurated Body Studio is the largest in-store department ever opened by the legendary London retailer.

Founded in 1948, the powerhouse lingerie brand, Simone Pérèle, opened their first monobrand boutique on rue François Miron in the trendy Marais district of Paris.

After years spent working for several leading European brands, such as Lise Charmel, Huit, Playtex and Gattina, as well as scouring lingerie boutiques across Germany, Maria Thiele decided to open her very own retail space in the Bavarian town of Asbach.
