Product Description
An exceptionally rare Vivienne Westwood 1992 Monkey Print Silk Corset, featuring one of the house’s most collectible early-1990s archival prints. Constructed in England from luxurious silk, the corset showcases a striking vintage monkey portrait framed by ornate baroque detailing, contrasted against sheer mesh side panels that sculpt the body while adding Westwood’s unmistakable sensual tailoring.
Built with traditional internal boning, a structured waist, and a back zip closure, this piece embodies Vivienne Westwood’s signature reinterpretation of historical corsetry through rebellious British design. The dramatic curved hem and fitted silhouette create a beautifully sculpted shape whether styled alone or layered.
Originally released in 1992, this corset has become an exceptionally scarce collector’s piece and is regarded as one of Vivienne Westwood’s most memorable graphic archive designs. Rarely offered on the secondary market, it represents an important example of the designer’s early runway-era work and is highly sought after by collectors of fashion history.
Designed in UK 12. An extraordinary archival garment for collectors of Vivienne Westwood, museum-worthy fashion, and iconic 1990s designer pieces.
