Workshop 6: The Corseted T-Shirt – Deconstructed Street Corsetry, 6 September – SOLD OUT
Inspired by Vivienne Westwood’s Pirate collection, this design transforms an oversized T-shirt into a rebellious corseted form. Combining drape and structure, it uses panel insertion, lacing, and raw-edge finishing. Techniques include eyelet setting, topstitching, asymmetric neckline shaping, and soft boning construction, merging historical corsetry with modern deconstructed streetwear aesthetics.
