It’s not often that you will see underwear like this featured on queerguru pages (!) but according to the Association for the Promotion of Corsetry Industries (PROMINCOR) this is Art, and important enough to have its very own exhibition here as part of Art Basel/Miami Design Week. So as big art lovers we including it as part of our ‘must see’ guide for Art Basel.

Lingerie Française  is a retrospective covering over 100 years of French lingerie, features items from the private archived collections of 11 renowned French lingerie manufacturers. The Exhibition explores the relationship between women, fashion, and lingerie, charting the evolution of societal values through the changing form of French lingerie from the 1880’s through the present, and showcases how undergarments have transformed the female form through time.

The exhibit, curated by fashion historian Catherine Ormen, features pieces ranging from corsets, girdles and bras, as well as bustiers, slips, panties, briefs, tangas, thongs and garter belts alongside contextual films and advertisements that brings to life the pieces from each era. All one very big learning curve for queerguru ……..
