This year marks a remarkable moment in French lingerie history. To celebrate its 20th anniversary, Maison Close has taken a bold and beautifully poetic step - reviving SCANDALE, the legendary French lingerie house founded in 1932 and known as a true pioneer of modern intimate apparel.
For nearly a century, Scandale helped redefine how women wear lingerie, ushering in innovations like the elastic girdle and iconic advertising campaigns that fused allure with artistic bravado. Now, Maison Close becomes the new custodian of this heritage, honouring its legacy while propelling it into a contemporary creative vision.
A Reverent Union: Heritage Meets Contemporary Seduction
From this historic union comes ROCOCO - a collection that pays tribute to the golden age of corsetry and the sensual silhouettes that defined eras, reimagined through Maison Close’s modern lens. Inspired by vintage craftsmanship, structured boning, and architectural design, Rococo celebrates femininity as both sculpture and seduction.
The name Rococo evokes elegance, detail and theatrical fluidity — much like the period style from which it borrows its name — yet Maison Close brings it into sharp, contemporary focus: lingerie as wearable art, crafted to frame the body with purpose and presence.
What Rococo Brings to the Wardrobe
The Rococo collection takes its cue from classic corsetry and reinterpret it for today - what was once hidden beneath becomes a focal point of confidence:

The Legacy Continues
Maison Close’s decision to revive Scandale goes beyond a simple acquisition. It’s a nod to creativity that dares to mix past innovation with future vision. In taking the reins of such a storied brand, Maison Close not only honours the audacity and spirit that Scandale once embodied, but also invites a new generation to wear that legacy with confidence.
This is more than an anniversary - it’s the beginning of a new chapter in lingerie that celebrates tradition without restraint, femininity without apology, and seduction without compromise.
