Vivienne Westwood 'Boulle' Corset from A/W 1990 Portrait Collection
$3000
Vintage Vivienne Westwood corset from the iconic 1990-1992 Portrait Collection Era, in black stretch satin. This print is based on French Rococo Boulle furniture which was made by the process of inlaying tortoiseshell and metal into wood, a lost to time technique. Westwood used the relief of these Rococo furniture designs, and printed them in gold ink on stretch satins and velvets. The gold foiled appliqué was allowed to crack as the garments were activated onto the form.
This corset is labeled UK size 10, made in England. It is great condition, there is some evidence of wear on the inner lining but there are no rips or tears, and all of the boning is un-warped and intact. It is a veritable work of art, body sculpting wearable couture!!
across bust: 15"
across waist: 11"
*all measurements taken flat and un-stretched
