Velda Lauder Corsets
On graduating from the College of Design in Dublin, Velda Lauder was head hunted for the creative team at the world-renowned Brown Thomas store, as senior display artist and assistant fashion coordinator. Whilst there she designed her first clothing collection, won a Smirnoff Young Designer of Year Award, and joined the first Dublin based performance art group, Boutiques for Divisions.
Her cosmic club night ‘Fantastic’ followed in 1998. Fusing live bands, fashion, and performance art, with a twist of fetish, London had rarely seen anything like it, and it was an overnight success.
By 2000, Velda moved the central London shop to a huge loft space in trendy Hoxton. She developed her corset skills, creating her unique ‘Uber-Curve’ method of corset construction and tailoring.
Velda re launched her Corset brand as ‘Velda Lauder Corsetiere’ with a fabulous evening in Soho.
Vogue featured 5 corsets photographed by Mario Testino in a shoot with Nigella Lawson and Gordon Ramsey.
Velda lauder has specialised on projects with high profile celebrities, such as Dita Von Teese, George Michael, and Robbie Williams film noir ‘Love Light’ featured 12 dancers dressed in Velda Lauder's military ‘Peace Warrior Collection’.
October 2007, the Sugarbabes all wore Velda Lauders Designer Corsets, encrusted with Swarovski crystals for the finale of the Fashion Rocks event shown on Channel 4
Velda has been working on an annual end of year televised fashion show spectacular, and is creating new collections, with the ‘Classic Bespoke’, and a more accessible ‘Ready to Wear’ range.
