I'm hoping to use this dramatically shaped corset for the model slot at the next Oxford Conference of Corsetry. It is a very similar design to the one Madonna wore by Gaultier in her 1990 tour..

The Isabella Blow exhibition was inspiring. What an amazing life - full of interesting, artistic people & beautiful things. 

I have come away with a feeling that I should make my corsets more sculptural - like a Philip Treacy hat. To that end I will be inserting more bones per square inch than I have done previously...
