Gothic Revival - Gothic Fully Steel Boned Corsets, Clothing & Victorian Chokers

So Why Should I Wear a Corset?

Companion of women during centuries, then regarded as an oppression instrument and thrown away at the beginning of the twentieth century, the corset has come back into fashion with a bang. But everything has changed...Rather than being hidden under layers of clothing the corset is now the star of the show, worn with pride and made to be 'out there'! The corset has become a beautiful item in itself, a single and stunning masterpiece. From mass oppression instrument, the corset has become the mark of a strong singularity, of a choice, and it underlines the independence of the woman who wears it.

Fashion designers have begun to honour the corset : Vivienne Westwood the iconoclast has been the great precursory in the seventies, followed soon by Thierry Mugler, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Christian Lacroix, Dior... Since 1995, rare are the podiums where the corset, magnified by gorgeous fabrics and extraordinary forms, does not appear as a guest-star! The corset is also worn, more and more, by many stars, especially for film promotions or awards. Singers are great fans of the corset too : after Madonna, who has been the talk of town in the eighties with her famous Jean-Paul Gauthier corset, and returned corseted in 2004 in her Re-invention Tour, Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears and many others multiply their corseted appearances. Films like "Dangerous Liaisons" or "Moulin-Rouge" also showed us many corsets on the screen, and this cinematographic profusion seems to go on increasing.

It's up to you now to choose where you will unleash your corset on an admiring audience : Wedding (yours, or anothers), prom ball, receptions, gothic or fetish parties, cocktails, concerts and festivals?
