Entrepreneur Spotlight: Wrap Yourself in Luxury Rocking Corsets By Stella The Corsetière and Creative Director Of Champagne Corsets.
Hi Stella, Your latest corset exudes such a glamourous and luxurious vibe, please tell us more about it
Luxury has never felt as good as this corset does! Made from blue denim with a flocked velvet finish and pink wash, it forms a gradient of pink, purple and blue colors throughout. The special techniques applied to this fabric that was made in Italy resulted in a product that is unique from any other, meaning each corset will be different from one another.
I kept the design of this corset simple and focused on the overall fit. I used a total of 30 bones, which is more than typical, to give it even more structure with a more enhanced hourglass fit. I also added a beautifully beaded trim on the bottom hemline. The inside lining is made with a luxurious satin fabric that feels buttery soft against my skin.
How would you best style this corset for a day out?
I styled my corset with a pair of jeans to really showcase the beauty and colors of the fabric. And with its versatility, I will be styling this corset in many other ways for many more occasions.
Your passion and flair for fashion are obvious tell me what inspired you to go into fashion design?
My love affair with fashion began when I was about 7 years old and my dream was to move to New York City and become a fashion designer. I put together a portfolio while I was in high school, took a few sewing classes at my local fabric store, and applied to the one fashion college I wanted to attend in the heart of New York City’s garment district, The Fashion Institute of Technology. I got accepted and graduated after 4 years with my BFA in fashion design.
While studying at The Fashion Institute of Technology I learned everything from tailoring, sportswear, knitwear, eveningwear, and so much more. My specialization in intimate apparel led me to corsetry and I immediately fell in love with the art. I studied both historical and modern-day corsets and really became fascinated with the exaggerated hourglass silhouette. When I realized corsets help create that shape I was hooked! Corsetry can also crossover into other categories such as evening wear, bridal, and for people with medical conditions or back pain. So although this is a niche market, I’m certainly not limited in any way.
How would you describe your Brand “Champagne Corsets”?
Champagne Corsets is a lifestyle brand. I design and create one-of-a-kind, timeless corsets that accommodate personal needs with the goal of contributing to the client’s way of living. I don’t just sell corsets, but rather the way of life behind it. For example, when someone puts on their Champagne Corset they immediately adjust their posture upright while holding their head up high. They feel ready for life’s experiences and opportunities. They lead with elegance and seduction. They are in a luxury state of mind.
You are known as an admirer of unique clothing and design styles. How vital is it for a fashion brand to exude bespokeness and originality in order to stand out in a fiercely competitive market?
What I love most about bespoke work is having the ability to discuss any design ideas because I believe nothing is impossible. I don’t subscribe to the belief that you need to conform to a specific size or fleeting fashion trend. I encourage and am delighted by breaking down stylistic barriers by creating something that truly is one-of-a-kind. Every piece that I create is as beautiful and unique as the wearer.
My brand is feminine, girly, and effortlessly chic. My corsets make you feel confident and sexy, without being too revealing. I am a trendsetter who loves mixing fashion with the perfect corset that accentuates and highlights women's strengths.
