GARMENT X-RAY - CORSETRY

 

 

Corset-forward design can be interpreted through a range of refined constructions and silhouettes, from sculpted contouring and architectural boning to intricate corset lacing and structured tailoring details.

 

 

This trench coat from the Spring/Summer 2026 collection by Ann Demeulemeester reinterprets a classic silhouette through a corset-inspired lens. Crafted in a fluid satin with an exceptionally soft hand feel, the design is elevated by a lace-up back detail that allows the fit to be contoured and reshaped to the body. Balancing structure with softness, the piece transforms the traditional trench into a sculptural and effortlessly flattering statement.

 

 

This contoured bustier from the Spring/Summer 2026 collection by Tolu Coker explores silhouette through subtle structural manipulation. Defined by sculptural panelled construction and shaped side seams, the piece creates a naturally cinched effect that contours the body. The result is a refined bustier that balances softness in form with precise, architectural tailoring.

 

 

This bustier tweed top from the Spring/Summer 2026 collection by Matières Fécales channels structure through a refined, sculptural approach. Featuring internal boning at the sides, the silhouette is shaped at the waist to create a subtle corset effect on the body. Rendered in a classic tweed, the piece balances tailored elegance with a distinctly modern sense of form and restraint.

 

 

This corset-forward top from the Spring/Summer 2026 collection by Vivienne Westwood expresses a strong, signature approach to internal structure. Designed with a fully boned foundation integrated beneath a draped blouse overlay, the silhouette is sculpted and supported from within while remaining visually soft on the surface. The result is a piece that holds its shape with precision, balancing hidden construction with fluid, effortless drape.
