Corset Collection at Love James
Renowned New Zealand fashion and costume designer Benjamin Alexander has turned his discerning eye to a new bridal chapter with BONES, an exclusive collection of one-of-a-kind corsets and bralettes that blend antique elegance with a distinctly modern edge. Romantic, feminine and fashion-forward, each piece is meticulously handcrafted from vintage fabrics and fine haberdashery, ensuring no two are ever the same. These are garments designed to be worn, celebrated, and remembered.
BONES invites the modern bride to embrace individuality through clothing that feels timeless yet bold. It is a collection for women who value originality, craftsmanship and a sense of play. As Alexander himself captures in the collection’s playful ethos: “Wear a corset, throw a party.” Whether styled with a voluminous skirt, tailored trousers, or layered for a reception look, each corset is a canvas for personal expression.
These coveted pieces are available exclusively at Love James, the vintage bridal and occasionwear boutique known for its curated, one-off treasures. Sold by appointment only, the experience of selecting a BONES corset is as personal and intimate as the piece itself, a quiet moment in which to find something that feels entirely your own.
Every garment in the collection is a work of art in miniature. Antique fabrics give each piece a sense of history and soul, transforming them into wearable heirlooms. Alexander’s background in fashion editing and cinematic costume design infuses his work with narrative depth. Each corset feels like a character in its own story, ready to step into the frame of a wedding day and live on in photographs for generations.
In BONES, Benjamin Alexander is not simply designing bridalwear; he is creating artefacts of love and artistry. For the bride who seeks vintage glamour with contemporary structure, these corsets offer a rare and fleeting opportunity. They are treasures that, once claimed, will never be made again. And that is precisely what makes them unforgettable.
