THE ART & CONTROVERSY OF THE CORSET

Looking through archival Vivienne Westwood capsule collections I was so engrossed with the beautifully crafted corsets that were designed. From the different prints to the structure of the corsets I realized just how much these pieces are not just pieces of clothing but art. The corsets themselves are beautifully crafted from cotton twill and structured with baleen and steel bones to keep its structure. It's clear that Vivienne Westwood’s corsets are eighteenth century inspired with an association with sexuality and deviancy. It is very common to see corsets be worn as a fashion statement instead of an undergarment. Historically, corsets were worn as a symbol of patriarchal oppression. However, in the present day it is a symbol of femininity and sexuality. Conspicuously the corset has become a fashionable article of clothing that can not only make your outfit more elevated but a form of empowerment. It can be seen as an art piece like the Vivienne Westwood corset, it has become a form of art that is showcased in museums around the world for all to see. However, with art comes controversy and the corset is far from it.

The history of corsetry illuminates controversy within many aspects. A perfect example of this is the 19th century controversial topic, “tightlacing”. Tightlacing was the practice of lacing someone into a tightly laced corset that significantly altered the shape of their body. There were many complications and health consequences due to tight lacing such as damaged or rearranged internal organs, breathing restrictions which oftentimes lead to faintness, fertility problems, and poor digestion. Horrifically, tightlacing did not only extend to women, it also extended to young girls. Historically, before the 16th century young girls were subjected to wear tightly laced corsets from their childhood up to womanhood. These young girls were “corset trained” for their future and subsequently subjected to achieve a certain beauty srand that enforced malicious notions of a woman's body that still linger in present day. The manipulation of women’s bodies to achieve a certain beauty standard is horrifically fetishazed and all a bit stereotypical for how a woman’s body should look based on obscure body standards. If we follow the festishisation of the “hourglass figure” then the ideal waist size would be little to none existent. It is undoubtedly clear that for many decades women have been subjected to beauty standards and fitting into the quote on quote standard. However, in recent years with the resurgence of corsets fashion lovers are beginning to treat this piece as a wardrobe staple piece.

One of my most favorite corsets is the infamous Jean Paul Gaultier cone bra corset dress that was presented in his Fall/Winter 1984-1985 show titled “Barbes”. The cone bra corset dress is a signature design that is continuously used in reference for the designer. Gaultier added many intricate attributes to the dress that makes it what it is, iconic. From the lacing on the back, to the sensual detailings of the fit of the dress when put onto the body, to the velvet textile used in a ruching effect to give the dress texture. This iconic piece by Jean Paul Gaultier speaks to the tantalizing nature of women and women's sexuality. This corseted dress gave a sense of fantasy where the woman wearing it could feel strong as the garment forces you to stand tall and feel empowered. The cone bra corset dress is taken out of the sphere of immorality and instead a sphere of self empowerment.

Similarly, Vivienne Westwood took the corset which signified patriarchal oppression and subverted it to luxury outerwear that is seen by many as a work of art. A particular Vivienne Westwood corset that I hold dearly to my fashion loved heart is the portrait corset which debuted in the Spring/Summer 1990 show “Portrait Collection”. In this collection there was a range of corsets that were printed with 18th century painting. Famously the 1743 painting Daphnis and Chloe, Shepherd Watching a Sleeping Shepherdess by the French Rococo artist Francois Boucher. This particular corset reinterprets the past of fashion and subvertly brings both the past and present together into the current era. Vivienne Westwood alternatively showed this corset on the runway as outerwear instead of underwear which in turn reclaimed its symbol of female liberation and empowerment. This corset has famously been worn by the likes of Bella Hadid and FKA Twigs. And has been interpretted in many different ways from the on coming fashion trends.

Both Jean Paul Gaultier and Vivienne Westwood have invoked upon the ideals of what it means to be a woman and how women are subjected to standards that are out of the norm. Instead both designers shifted the ideas around femininity and sexuality to more liberated, empowering, genderfluid approaches that allow women to no longer feel constricted but instead make a statement and I believe that is what makes it art.

In the present day it is apparent that the representation of femininity and gender fluidity, the exploration of corsetry is no longer subverted to oppression but acceptability and the celebration of the contour of the body. It is clear that there is still space for corsets, however not in the traditional sense. There is a new wave of sensual somatic that seeks to uplift the contour of the body and burgeon for liberation and empowerment.
