Odalisque Corset

GUILD corsetry is a bridge between forgotten grace and contemporary elegance. The corsets are created comfortable even if the boning is integrated through the bodice for a more flattering silhouette. The Odalisque corset derives its name from mystical court ladies of ancient harems. Seductive, beautiful, and more educated than housewives, the odalisques were also a major inspiration for the 19th century’s artistic movement known as Orientalism. We are intrigued how in the past, a virtuous woman was portrayed as dependent and weak, while a strong, independent woman was portrayed as sensual, mystical, forbidden. GUILD corsets are made for strong women – women who dare to shine in their beauty and embrace their sensuality. The corsets are crafted of certified (BCI) Egyptian stretch denim.
