German photographer Horst P Horst's iconic image of couture served on a living sculpture is easily one of my favorite images, and one i often come back to for inspiration.
his use of lighting and elegantly draped corset ribbons...send shivers. i want this framed. *someday*

"The corset itself, listed in Town and Country as one of the big events of 1939, caused a furor in France. Mainbocher's corseted waist, defined bosom, and back draping was an abrupt shift in sihouette and introduced the Victorian motifs that were to pervade the forties." via Wikipedia.
