👗 Corsets: More Than Just Tight Laces

The corset isn’t just a fashion relic — it’s a timeline stitched in fabric.

- Long before Victorian silhouettes, Minoan women (1600 BCE) wore fitted bodices that exposed the bust — for ritual power, not modesty.
- the 18th century, corsets (or “stays”) weren’t only for elites — working women wore soft, flexible versions for back support. Think: early posture correctors.
- During the 1900s, corsets became so rigid that doctors used X-rays to reveal displaced ribs and organs. Newspapers published the images — a viral moment of its time.

But not all feminists rejected them: some suffragettes chose corsets as symbols of self-discipline and style.

Later, Vivienne Westwood reimagined corsets as punk armor — subversive, not submissive.
Now they’re viral again — from TikTok trends to couture — reshaped with comfort and choice.

🧵 Fashion changes. The body stays political.

🖤 Deepti Barth: Sculpting Fashion into Silence

Berlin-based designer Deepti Barth doesn’t shout with fashion — she whispers through texture, precision, and monochrome minimalism.

A former first assistant to Carol Christian Poell, Deepti launched her namesake label in 2014, blending fashion with sculpture. Her signature? Ultrasonic welding — no stitches, just seamless, futuristic construction.

Her work isn’t just clothing — it’s armour. Stark, silent, and deeply human.
Deepti’s collections rarely follow trends. They question form, function, and the space between body and object.

💬 Not wearable fashion. Wearable thought.
