The corset’s history from painful to playful. Curves and comfort might be compatible today (thanks Spanx and Skims), but that wasn’t the case in the 17th century when Catherine de Medici brought the corset from Italy to France.  Made using materials like whalebone and metal, corsets contained and constrained women’s bodies, keeping them in place (literally and figuratively). They also subdued nature in favor of artifice as some women—and men—worked toward 18-inch waists.

Women have been lacing and unlacing through the centuries, but corsets can do more than create curves. The flapper’s smooth, cylindrical shape, for example, was sometimes achieved with the help of a stretchy foundation garment. Still, it’s the hourglass that leaves the deepest impression. In 1947 Christian Dior reintroduced it, through  heavily structured garments, with his New Look. The cinched waist remained in place through the 1960s, and was revived in the 1980s and 1990s by designers like Azzedine Alaïa and Jean Paul Gaultier, the latter of whom famously created the nostalgic cone-bra look for Madonna. At the same time Christian Lacroix was romancing the historical corset, and Thierry Mugler was imagining it for techno chicks. More recently, steampunks embraced the look.

t’s been a long time since corsets came out from under. Today, as Bowles notes, they are symbols of empowerment rather than of restraint and they’re as likely to be seen over a T-shirt or with jeans as dressed up on the red carpet.
