With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, I’d thought it might be fun to feature a sexy fashion staple – the Corset! Having first gained popularity in the Victorian era (for women and men), this important article of clothing has remained in style, having most recently been seen on starlets like Rianna, Kim Kardashian, Kelly Osbourne, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jennifer Lopez, Emma Watson, and of course, Madonna. Of course, if the timing is off, the bustier is a good choice any time of year, as comfortable on the beach as on the red carpet.
That being said, I’d like to introduce you to celebrity stylist Diane Lloyde Roth, who owns the luxury boutique L’Armoire. She also has gorgeous corsets for sale at her store, including one by couture designer Maggie Norris that Nicole Kidman wore on the cover of Vanity Fair.
