Four fashion insiders meet one storied silhouette...Manifest India
If there’s one garment that captures the evolution of women’s dress, it’s the corset. From Marie Antoinette to Margiela, Playboy to Prada — it has signified fetish, freedom, and politics through the ages. But today, bridal designers have reimagined and refined the silhouette to fit modern-day celebrations.
At Tarun Tahiliani’s parade at Art Mumbai in November, models wore shimmering corsetry with pre draped saris. Meanwhile, the new-age brand That Antique piece, worn by everyone from Masaba Gupta to Sobhita Dhulipala, is dedicated to bespoke corsets. Ahead, fashion influencers Pranav Goswamy, Ikisvon Jamang, Tarini Manchanda, and Karmaa Dhingra show us how to wear it for 2025.

High Contrast
Complement the structure of a corset by pairing it with an elegant drape. A Benarasi sari
worn with a corset blouse is a great way to embrace heritage weaves with modernity.
