These images were flagged by Gabriel himself in a comment earlier this summer. The pictures are so wonderful, though, that they mustn’t be relegated to burial in comments!

The original posting of these images was on Diane Pernet’s blog, A Shaded View on Fashion. According to Diane’s post, this corset was made by Gabriel, who is a student of Mr. Pearl’s; the waste is 23 inches.

Here is an excerpt of an interview in which designer Christian LaCroix discusses Mr. Pearl.

This comes from A Shaded View on Fashion and was some of the work that went into creating the feature on Mr. Pearl previously described on this blog.

Staylace posted some links, pointed out by Annalai, to interesting material about Mr. Pearl today. These might be of interest to male corsetry aficionados.

There is a link to an interview with Mr. Pearl and also to an online exhibit about his work.

Here’s an interesting video, posted on Diane, A Shaded View on Fashion, about preparing for a meeting with famed designer / staymaker Mr. Pearl.
