The fall shows have reintroduced the 50s with the 'bustier' making a comeback. Can it be pulled off without looking like a character from Mad Men?
The 50s was an era when women were marginalized as sex objects....and we've come a long way, but fashion will never be free of historic context. It may just be possible to work the 50s inspired modern take on bustiers without looking like you’re trying too hard to rock the latest trend. Miuccia Prada always riffs on the feminine with a full measure of wit, and her take on this come-hither undergarment is perhaps the most arch. Her ruffled bra tops, A-line skirts, and dresses that smack of the naughty nonchalance of a smarty-pants Lolita are perfect as statement pieces, but it’ll take a girl with a little cheek to pull off this look.
Marc Jacobs’ entire show for Louis Vuitton was dedicated to a woman who has little to do but dress her curves. His bustiers in florals and exquisite solids were gracefully done and could be paired with tailored pants or even jeans and look tasteful.
The bustier has been one of Dolce & Gabbana’s signature pieces since their first collection in 1985, when they brought the Sicilian postwar widow simmering onto the runway with body-conscious skirts and sweaters. Never ones to stray from their bombshell DNA, this fall they whipped up their bustiers in silks and lace-trim satin. A peekaboo print like that under a cardigan or jacket is your best bet.
