Over time, the corset has evolved from a mandatory staple in every woman's wardrobe to a decorative undergarment and finally to a hot-ticket outdoor fashion, and the Hubert Barrere Corset collection tracks this evolution with a series of iconically artistic corset designs. Barrere has teamed up with art critic Charles-Arthur Boyer to tell this story using photographs of the famed French designer's signature pieces. Barrere is a respected designer whose artful designs have earned him collaborations with fashion houses like Dior, Chanel and Dolce & Gabbana.
