It lifts the bust and narrows the waist: the corset is finding its way into the modern world of fashion. Today, however, his styling is different.

The fashion world is changing. While more and more cozy Athflow pieces are sneaking into wardrobes due to the corona pandemic, a countermovement is apparently developing at the same time. "Search queries for 'corsets' have risen 39 percent", eBay UK reported in early January this year. One of the reasons for this is the successful Netflix series "Bridgerton". Is it just a coincidence that well-known fashion houses are now also picking up on the style of the Regency era?

Today the it-piece comes through clothing

Pamela Anderson (53, "Baywatch") recently demonstrated it. She secretly said yes to her bodyguard Dan Hayhurst and actually wore an underbust corset to her wedding. A very similar model can be found in this year's Cruise collection from the French fashion house Dior. How is the piece of clothing, which originated in the 15th century, styled today? It is worn over clothing with the cords or eyelets pointing forward.

Influencer Leonie Hanne (32) has already discovered the style for herself. She wears the brown leather bodice over a lace top and a tulle skirt. "Styling myself for Dior Couture put me in the 'Bridgerton' mood," said the fashionista, commenting on her modern look. Those who find this too daring can fall back on alternatives in 2021. These come in the form of tops that have already incorporated the sophisticated lacing. Pop singer Dua Lipa (25, "New Rules") combines wide suit trousers and pointed stilettos.
