Part of the MARS Gallery booth for Melbourne Design Fair, the Cinched collection investigates the historical impact of corsetry, lingerie, and shape wear in transforming human silhouettes over time. Applauding and revelling in curves these vessels contemplate the potential of small clothing items in instilling sensations of power, sensuality, and self-assurance.

Undoubtedly, poorly fitting or rigid undergarments have had an impact, twisting bodies into forms that align with prescribed social and beauty norms throughout the centuries. Nevertheless, this particular collection concentrates on the strength and beauty of curves either natural or enhanced by a well placed piece of material.
