Alexander McQueen AW99′s “coiled corset”. A 97-hand crafted aluminium coil piece made by jeweller Shaun Leane
“The ‘coiled’ corset was one of the first pieces I made for [McQueen],” he said. “I had to explore technology and I had to explore new forms of how to make things like electroforming. I'd never worked with electroforming even though it's a very old process. The ‘coiled’ corset, that was made from aluminium rod, pure clean metal, which I forged around a concrete cast of the model.”
