Case Study


Intimacy, at the scale of a storefront.

Ysé designs lingerie and swimwear around real bodies and an unhurried, self-possessed idea of femininity. Carrying that intimacy onto a website — warm and personal, never clinical — was the heart of the work.

The Challenge

Lingerie is the most personal thing a brand can sell, and the easiest to get wrong online — where product grids tend to flatten everything into inventory. Ysé's whole proposition, founded in 2012 by Clara Blocman and Bérengère Lehembre, is warmth: pieces made to celebrate real bodies, spoken about with care rather than sold at.

A storefront had to hold that tone at scale — staying soft and human across lingerie, swimwear and ready-to-wear, and across the constant churn of seasonal newness.

02


The Approach

The work was led by art direction — the palette, the photography and the pace that make Ysé feel like Ysé — then built into a system that keeps that feeling consistent as collections change.

Three principles anchored it:

  • Warm, not clinical

    A soft, neutral palette and intimate photography that treats the body as something to celebrate, not merchandise.

  • Collections as stories

    Present seasonal edits as mood-led narratives, so browsing feels curated rather than transactional.

  • Considered femininity

    A calm, confident tone carried through type, spacing and imagery — free, never fussy.

The Solution

The storefront leads with atmosphere: warm neutrals, natural light and unhurried, almost cinematic photography that lets each collection read as a story before it reads as a shop. Lingerie, swimwear and ready-to-wear sit in clean, generous frames, and the brand's values — a certified B Corp, with a Second Life resale programme — are present without ever crowding the clothes.

On a phone the warmth carries over intact: a single, gentle column where imagery leads and the shopping never feels clinical.

The Impact

The result is a storefront that feels the way the brand sounds.

  • Personal at scale. A system built around warmth keeps every new collection feeling intimate, not inventoried.

  • Story before sale. Mood-led presentation invites browsing, so shopping happens as a consequence of feeling rather than friction.

  • Consistent and calm. The same considered femininity reads on every screen and through every season.
