In just her second year, Helene Ponot is becoming a brand to watch in France. She makes the “Made in France” the central themes of her collection with ostrich feather and fur embellishments that would only make sense on French lingerie . The collection takes inspiration from Ava Gardner, Gena Rowland, Lauren Baccal, and Anouck Aime. Helene also offers a bespoke service, but I would guess as her name grows, she will focus on her ready-to-wear collections. Find Helene in Paris.
