"Never before have designs based on the corset reached such maturity and harmony. Designers seem to have captured the essence of the corset, they have transcended its shape, and its extremely refined and inspiring features. Today's corsets are sophisticated and extremely wearable.

The corset expresses contradictory messages: constriction and freedom, dominance and submission, femininity and power. And refers to current social values: violence, war, sex, nostalgia and conservatism.

The corset is full of paradoxes and that probably explains why it is still part of our society: it is timeless but it has never stopped evolving. It has evolved esthetically and symbolically: from underwear to outerwear (in late nineteenth century ball gowns), from constriction to power, from lingerie to armour."
