Vivienne Westwood Portrait Corset Viscose Gold 48 Women

First appearing in the Vivienne Westwood Autumn-Winter 1987/88 Harris Tweed collection, the Portrait corset reveals how Vivienne originally subverted the classic corset structure, worn by high society women of eighteenth-century salon culture. This season, the piece is offered in a metallic finish, complete with a zip fastening instead of lacing, to modernise the historical style.
