The inspiration- Corset
In human history, women have always been inferior to men. Although women’s social status is constantly improving. However, in some countries, the state of women is still low. For example, in the eastern countries. Many places still maintain a lot of bad habits. The older generation still values the baby boy in the family rather than the girl in the family. Even the newborn baby girl at home is sold as a commodity. There are still many places where the habit of keeping feet is still maintained. This limits the freedom of women. Can't walk too long.
In Western countries, men impose their beautiful eyes on women, and men favor women. Continually improve their beauty, including "corset."
Zhang Ailing once said: "The western woman's waist is made of steel bars and whale bones. It is fine, like iron."
In the movie "Gone with the Wind". A classic shot of the maid wearing a corset for Scarlett. Then, Queen Elizabeth of Austria was killed wearing a corset. In the long history of human society, women did not really have the rights to their own bodies. At the time when the Catholic Church strictly controlled the European continent, the female body was made of silk, brocade, whale bones and elaborate iron locks. Strict blockades are tied under layers. Beauty, though beautiful. But the pain you suffer makes it hard to imagine. It's hard for you to understand.

From the evolution of classical corsets over the past two centuries, to see the contemporary women's conceptual change, you will find that: Without being bound by whale bones, accepting natural forms, and abandoning the so-called popular and secular views, women have taken a free life. Stride.
The first set of the corset, in the first half of the 16th century. At this point, people have just finished the artistic pursuit of plump women, and women's slim waist has become an essential factor in the expression of women's sex characteristics. To obtain a delicate and moving waist, women do not hesitate to endure pain and are confined in corsets every day. At this time, the corset has completely degenerated into a misshapen aesthetic toy. It sculpts the female body into an hourglass shape. The price to pay is health and even life. The epidemic of bodice braces this logic cycle: men impose their beautiful eyes on women, and women have to amplify certain expectations to win men's favor.
In 1876, Abba Goold Woolson, an American women's existential godmother, said in an anti-gaiter speech: “I exist. The primary role is not the wife or the mother but the woman. I have a woman. The new woman has the right to wear strong, comfortable and happy."
In 1907, the French designer Paul Polle, who designed the robes, claimed: "In the name of freedom, I announced the end of my waist and raised my bra."
History has entered a new era. Designers have created a new wave of fashion, and the post-war women's rights movement has become the mainstream. Women's body and women's health that affected women's health for four centuries have finally withdrawn from the mainstream of women's underwear.

21st-century underwear is not just a piece of clothing. Women's demand for underwear not only stays beautiful and fashionable and sexy. You also need comfort and need no restraint. Bring freedom to women. Looking at the development of the bodice for four hundred years, the history of women's curved sculptures cannot be overstated. From the complete obscuration in the Middle Ages to the fitment of the body in the early Renaissance period, from the moderate S-shape to the extreme X-shape, it shows the difficult process of women's exploration of the beauty of body and the awakening process of women's self-consciousness. In this process, women regained control and possessed the power of their bodies. They refused to be defined and could indeed be free.
The process by which women look for themselves is like a revolution in the corset. Think outside the box with your thoughts. Reshape your understanding of beauty. They follow the freedom of the soul, revealing a quiet personality and an independent spirit.
