The Catanzaro house has been striving for THREE generations to make you dream and fulfil your fantasies. The story began a long time ago when Italian immigrants came to France. His parents being tailors, Patrice Catanzaro simply grew up surrounded by incredible women who have nourished his imagination since childhood.

After training as a designer and pattern maker, Patrice created stage costumes for the theatre and designed leather and fur clothing patterns and ready-to-wear collections. After fourteen years, he decided to devote all his professional activity to his true passion: the Woman, and to create collections dedicated to a mesmerizing world, populated by libertines, unconditional lovers of his outfits. Moreover, he still considers himself a costume designer for whom only the show has changed: he has moved from the stage of the theatre to the one of fetish.

Patrice Catanzaro decides to put his talent at the service of femininity. He then creates in 1990 the collection “Les plaisirs de Marlène” and dresses the entire Parisian night.

Today, the troublemaker of the fetishist fashion, Patrice Catanzaro, has chosen to manufacture his creations in France promoting the quality and traceability of his products.

Showing great creativity, the Patrice Catanzaro brand presents several collections per year with sumptuous designs that meet the codes of seduction; lingerie, dresses …

MAISON CATANZARO continues its family history with the arrival of its new high-end lingerie brand IMPUDIQUE, created under the artistic direction of Charlotte Catanzaro, daughter of the designer Patrice Catanzaro, in collaboration with the fashion designer and chief pattern maker of the house for 10 years, Marielle Giacobbe.

IMPUDIQUE is both an association and a distinction between father and daughter, a sum of expertise acquired and in the process of being acquired for many years, and the personal signature of the young designer.

It's a line of lingerie, reflection of the modern woman with a strong personality. Like the fashion house, IMPUDIQUE is the brand of ambition for an unfailing continuity in the reunion of the past and the future.

The Audacieuse, Insoumise, Rebelle and l'Insolente collections, whose technical prowess are in tune with the French expertise, were born in the factory near Marseille. IMPUDIQUE, for Charlotte, represents her entrance into the world of the fashion lingerie and the universe of the sublime. Above all, it represents her claim to make the pride of her father, a renowned designer, following the patriarchal steps in her own way.

“This adventure would never have been possible without the affinity that has been created over the years between the Catanzaro team and myself, without the expertise of our seamstresses and especially without the experience and support of Marielle Giacobbe, the chief pattern maker of the Catanzaro house. I would particularly like to thank my father for the values he instilled in me and for his unfailing devotion. IMPUDIQUE marks today my ambition to perpetuate the name Catanzaro in the fashion universe.”
