...spectacular feats, mad-cap antics, and sinister folly.
Delicious Corsets takes you into the secret world of the circus. Photography by Momento Mori.

The following collection was unveiled at the Diabolique charity ball in November of 1998 in Philadelphia, PA. The pieces were inspired by the colors and spirit of the circus. The stage show included a cast of professional actors and dancers from both Philadelphia and New York. A team skilled make-up and hair designers added the final touches to this very fun and festive performance.
