Tom Ford for Gucci F/W '03 Runway Black Corset Waspie Belt

An ultra sultry piece of fashion history from one of the most iconic collections, the Tom Ford for Gucci Fall/Winter 2003 runway show. This black corseted waspie belt is truly one of the most sought after pieces from the infamous show. To quote Vogue's review of the show, "This season every major designer is talking about creating a "beauty" strong enough to defy our anxious times. Backstage that was the word Tom Ford used to characterize his Fall collection for Gucci—a collection in which beauty was personified as a power vixen extravagantly armored to face down a troubled world". How relevant and timely.

The corset is made out of a thick stretch neoprene fabric. It velcro's into place at the front and then straps wrap around you and buckle into place to cinch you in.
