Books By Style

Many trends from previous seasons are back in fashion this fall, like bomber jackets and corset lacing. Corset-style tops and bodices have become popular recently for their timeless, decadent aesthetic. The corset style lacing is a versatile and dynamic design element used in various styles and elements of fashion. One of the oldest trends still often used in modern fashion, corset lacing has adapted to fit the needs and aesthetics of today’s women.

Corset lacing can often be more functional than decorative, and it’s more size inclusive when used to replace zippers and buttons. The lacing allows the wearer to fit the garment to their shape, creating a flattering silhouette. This fall season, many designers seemed to favor the decorative corset lacing for its ability to elevate any garment. In the book series The Beautiful, written by Renée Ahdieh, a young Parisian dressmaker makes a name for herself with her ability to combine vintage fashion and modern styles. One of the dressmaker’s favorite elements to include in her designs was corset lacing, which has continued to evolve in style.

When a young dressmaker flees Paris after a shocking assault, she finds herself in New Orleans, a city of unusual creatures and death. She quickly becomes the target of a deranged serial killer stalking the cities inhabitants. Her new life away from the darkness of France turns out to be more than she bargained for in The Beautiful series. In a city ruled by the dead, harsh truths will ignite an ages old feud between powerful enemies in this gripping paranormal thriller.
