| Description |
Young Parisian corset maker Sylvain Nuffer began cutting, stitching and boning corsets for men four years ago and now sells 30-odd standard models a year at ˆ500 to ˆ600 (about R4 700 to R5 600) a shot, 40 percent more when made to measure.
"I felt frustrated by the lack of choice of clothing for men," he said. "I made one for myself and they kind of multiplied."
Wearing jeans with a gray silk corset of his own making over a shirt and tie, Nuffer, who learnt the complex trade with his corsetiere mother, stands tall, waist nipped in, shoulders wide, back straight.
