His clientele: “A lot of women in their 40s and 50s specifically come to us for corsets. Compared to younger clients, they’re just more comfortable with their bodies, open to ideas, and ready to explore. They usually go for an under-bust corset, which is also called the waspie. It can be styled over a shirt and it cinches the waist by one or two inches. Apart from corsets for Bollywood—where we’ve had to add extra cups, butt pads, and all of that—and one-off studio projects, we’ve barely had any requests by people wanting to cinch the waist by an extreme three or four inches.”
The project that stressed him out the most: “My first bridal client, because I was terrified of ruining the most important day in someone’s life.”
