7 ideas to make you feel like Sissi

Elizabeth of Austria, aka Sissi the Empress, has lessons in style and art de vivre for us all!

1. The corset reveals itself... to lingerie and beyond!

In recent years, the corset has regained its noble credentials. In a contemporary, embroidered version, our Sissi bustier will add a daring touch to your outfits...

Let it slip under a sheer top or over a lace shirt, and unleash your inner Sissi!

2. Stars in your hair!

Sissi was renowned for her exceptional finery and iconic hairstyles. Among them, the famous "Sissi stars", which she loved to make sparkle on her long hair... And what if you were inspired by Sissi to infuse your looks with that elegant, romantic touch? The hunt is on for barrettes, brooches and star jewels! Our tip: find vintage versions in honor of Sissi and the charm of the past...

3. Treat yourself to a visit to the Musée de la Vie Romantique in Paris...

Nestled in the heart of the 9th arrondissement, in a 19th-century house, this museum will take you back in time... to the romantic era of Sissi the Empress. Contemplate the works of art and objects, then finish the day in style with a cup of coffee - Viennese, of course - in the secret garden and its beautiful glass roof...

4. A trip to Vienna, in the footsteps of Sissi...

Ah, Vienna! A city of dreams, where the bridges over the Danube take you on a tour of baroque architecture, cafés steeped in history and romantic gardens... Take an adventurous trip to the Hofburg Palace, the former imperial residence, and its Sisi Museum. Stroll through the Volksgarten, Sissi's favorite garden, and don't forget to make a detour to Café Demel, a Viennese institution whose refined pastries made the Empress melt...

5. If you're looking for me, I'll be in my boudoir!

Set up a boudoir corner to get ready, surrounded by beautiful boxes, flasks and retro accessories... Here again, go on a treasure hunt, browsing flea markets and antique shops! A vintage dressing table, a mother-of-pearl comb or a gilded mirror will perfectly adorn this intimate setting, where every detail tells a story.

6. Dare to undress...

Let yourself be inspired by vintage nightwear! Long, romantic nightgowns or satin bathrobes will bring timeless elegance to your evenings. And underneath, of course, beautiful lingerie Scandale...

7. Take your inspiration from Sissi... literally!

Sissi was passionate about literature. She loved to attend performances at the Burgtheater, wrote poetry to express her emotions, and kept up long correspondence. Because writing letters is wildly romantic, dare to bring this custom up to date! And, if you've got the gumption, go for authenticity by arming yourself with your finest pen...
