Exploring the house’s subversion of corsetry from 1987 to the present day, ‘Vivienne Westwood Corsets’ examines Westwood’s approach to underwear as outerwear. The exhibition illustrates the intrinsic links of the corset to historical dress, culture and fine art — which continue to serve as a constant source of inspiration for Vivienne Westwood collections today.
This special exhibition presents a curated retrospective through the brand’s iconic corset archive and features pivotal runway show looks. Each piece demonstrates Westwood’s ingenuity in corsetry design, and Andreas Kronthaler’s most recent iterations of this historical garment, which have gone on to influence the current collections of the house.
The exhibition is open from 8 – 21 May in the house’s flagship boutique at 44 Conduit Street.
