Bras and Cats: the real corsets

the real corsets: Puimond

It's been awhile since I started this section in my blog and today I felt like it was due to continue it. Today it's the turn of Puimond. This amazing designer started the bussiness in 1997. His corsets are wonderful pieces and really far away from the typical idea of a corset. They're absolutely feminine and the fabrics he uses are gorgeous. His work has been featured in loads of magazines and even Madonna wore them! So if you want your body to look like a hourglass, this is your call :) Now onto the lovely designs.

Nowadays, the corset seem to be a fashion trend. But it was not invented yesterday. Ladies involved into the gothic scenery have been using them forever. Now we can see cheap (and baaaad) copies of them in every single store we can imagine (zara, mango, h&m, and a big etc) but their quality and beauty has nothing to do with the real designers of them. From now on, I'll dedicate a post to every brand or designer that I think it's worth of be consider a Corset Artist. Hope you enjoy these series :)

Today it's the turn of the british designer FairyGothMother. You can find almost everything you want to feel feminine and sexy in their online shop but they're specialists in corsets. They also have created a lingerie line called Lulu&Lush with luxurious pieces than soon will be on my closet ^-^.

They've also done catwalks (watch here) and various celebrities and burlesque performers trust them for their appearances. If you live in the UK, lucky you! because they have a boutique in London (15 Lamb Street, Old Spitalfields, London E1 6EA). After this little introduction, I'll show you my favourites.
