A VIVIENNE WESTWOOD WHITE BUSTIER AND WHITE WIRE CAGE BUSTLE WITH FAUX ROSES 'Vive La Cocotte' Collection, Fall/Winter 1995-96 and 'Les Femmes Ne Pas Toute Leur Coquetterie' Collection, Spring/Summer 1996 White viscose blend, UK 10, the cage unmarked. This lot is accompanied by a colored photograph of Cyndi Lauper wearing the corset and bustle. (3) Footnotes: 'Vive La Cocotte' Collection was a revolt against sloppy mediocrity of the mid-90s and a return to formality. The collection name is in reference to the 17th century French courtesan and author Ninon de l'Enclos -- Vive La Cocotte meaning 'long live the courtesan'. Corsets and bustles exaggerated the female figure, making the models appear like fashion illustrations. Westwood often commented that 'Vive La Cocotte' is her favorite collection. 'Les Femmes Ne Pas Toute Leur Coquetterie' Collection was the conclusion to previous iterations of these overtly feminine and exaggerated looks. This collection removed the stuffing and padding to relax the silhouettes. A similar Westwood cage in permanent collection of The Costume Institute at The Met, object no. 2020.54a, b. The corset and cage bustle worn together for a Domino's Pizza advertisement, with a Little Red Riding Hood theme.
