New into our archive: a BodyMap Corset from the 1990 âLife Isâ Collection. Seen worn by Edie Campbell in System Magazineâs 2018 âBodyMap was a movementâ shoot, styled by Vanessa Reid & photographed by Oliver Hadlee Pearch (slide 3).
BodyMap was a British fashion label founded by Stevie Stewart and David Holah in 1982 after they graduated from Middlesex Polytechnic. Originally starting out on a stall at Camden Market, they showed their first collection in New York & soon became renowned for their prints, structured shapes & innovative fashion shows. After collaborating with dancer Michael Clark, he became one of the icons of the brand, choreographing and modelling in all the BodyMap shows.

Keogh grew up in County Dublin and gave up her career in microbiology to pursue fashion design, specialising in knitwear. Isabella Blow selected one of her designs for âDress of the Yearâ in 1997, with Galliano using Keoghâs textiles the following year for his 1998 Autumn haute couture collection at Dior.
