Christian Lacroix Fall 2001 Corset

This neon pink and green beaded corset from Christian Lacroix’s Fall 2001 collection embodies the designer’s exuberant approach to couture and his flair for colour, ornament, and theatrical excess. Richly embellished with intricate beadwork, the corset showcases Lacroix’s signature mix of historical reference and haute couture fantasy - merging 18th-century-inspired structure with the bold vibrancy of early-2000s glamour.

Tailored from an assortment of high quality silk-blend satins in vivid lime green, fuchsia and floral prints, it is embellished with candy pink pailette sequins and square black and silver studs. Varying slightly from the item shown on the catwalk, we believe that no two corsets were created alike, adding to its rariety and collectability. This piece captures the spirit that defined Lacroix’s work at the turn of the millennium: joyfully decorative and rooted in the artistry of couture tradition.
