The Corset: Straight-laced or Feminist Rebellion?
Because underwear is the foundation of everything. This time: The Corset - from busty Bridgerton to Madonna’s pointy-coned creation, the corset has always raised temperatures. Fashion journalists Emily Cronin (Elle; Grazia) and Kate Finnigan (FT; vogue.com) discover how this controversial piece of clothing has evolved from being the cause of fainting fits and broken ribs to reshaping the body into a work of art.
“There were ideas that the corset caused your liver to split in half and crushed your internal organs, some of the accounts are quite crazy.” – Valerie Steele
“Corsets are having a resurgence - there’s a global movement with young girls reclaiming their bodies.” – Michaela Stark
“Women would buy rubberised ‘Tango’ corsets so they could bend backwards.” – Valerie Steele
“Corsetry never goes away, people just keep pushing and evolving it for whatever the current generation needs.” – Emily Cronin
