How to embrace the corset craze

It's time to let your inner Marie Antoinette run wild. The humble corset has made a comeback, and it’s been unbound from it’s lingerie limitations.

The traditional Victorian undergarment once associated with discomfort and difficult breathing - and more recently with the waist training craze - is now adorning celebrity trailblazers and designer runways around the globe as a street style chic statement.

Most recently seen around the waists of Hailey Baldwin, Karlie Kloss and Kim Kardashian, the corset can be layered over tops and dresses, to add a splash of colour or to create a more slick silhouette.

Corsets have featured heavily in the street style galleries and on the runways of the Fall 2017 fashion shows - including collections by fashion houses like Prada, Loewe and Moshino.
