The Corset Maker

PUBLISHED IN DOSSIER JOURNAL on March 22, 2010 and CLOSETTOUR on March 23, 2010

Angela Friedman manipulates flesh. That is her business.
In a cramped Manhattan studio on the west side, she cheerfully toils away at a dying art – one that requires a mastery of intricate and technical elements, like what Friedman coins, “The Squish Factor.”

Friedman received her degree in costume technology from The University of Northern Carolina and currently manages the women’s costume department at the New York City Ballet. The price of her custom corsets start at $300.
