Label Text:This ensemble was part of the first lingerie collection by Belgian brand A.F. Vandervorst. The label’s designers, Filip Arickx and An Vandervorst, based their designs on their studies of traditional French corsetry. The lingerie was shown on the runway alongside their outerwear creations— many of which also showed influence from classic lingerie styling.
