THE CORSET IS BACK, OR MAYBE IT NEVER WAS LOST…To celebrate this occasion, in addition to bridal and non-wedding catwalks, Fashion, Fetish & Fantasy is a box set with more than four hundred illustrations by fashion designer François Berthoud (Rizzoli International), who placed lace corsets as an indispensable weapon of seduction among very tacky shoes. And in Paris, the first fashion show without Vivienne Westwood, which began with a love letter from her husband, the designer who is always by her side, ended with Cora, her beautiful niece, in a white lace bustier. A tribute to the woman who always believed in the corset, starting with the first catwalk in 1987, making it appear, opening it up, making it an outerwear item, freeing it from all taboos and freeing it from suspicions of limitations.
From that moment on, this piece of clothing, which alternately marked fashion, became a symbol and instrument of sensuality, emphasizing the female figure and testifying to her free choice. Potential put forward Jean Paul Gaultierher unforgettable nude corset with cone-shaped cups from Dolce & Gabbana, studded with stones, found stunning interpreters in the persons of Madonna and Lady Gaga.
Now Venus cage” walks down the catwalk and the bride certainly couldn’t miss it: a memory always balancing between innocence and sexuality, fascinated by vintage but also by modernity. The corset with crossed ribbons or a sequence of small buttons shapes the silhouette, emphasizes the waist and allows the skirt to be lush and exploding with a riot of tulle… Nothing more desirable.
