Dating to the late 1980s to early 1990s, this Vivienne Westwood corset top reflects one of the designer’s most enduring interventions in dress: the revival of historical corsetry as outerwear. Across this period, Westwood repeatedly drew on 18th-century tailoring and foundation garments, recasting them through a sharper, more theatrical silhouette that became central to her work. This piece distills that approach into a sculpted velvet front with elongated sleeves and a deeply cut neckline, balancing structure, sensuality, and historical reference in a way that is unmistakably Westwood.
