Wear the Story: Irina Pyleva & Three Corsettery Corsets in DONNA

Some pieces complete an outfit. Others give it a story. In DONNA’s June 2026 issue, Irina Pyleva presents three expressions of Corsettery: the blue-and-white world of Les Jours Calmes, the fresco-inspired artistry of Acanthus & Flight, and the sculptural simplicity of the white leather Ramona corset.

From the cover to the accompanying interview, this editorial invites a closer look at what makes a corset personal: not only its silhouette, but the imagination behind it.

The Cover Look: Les Jours Calmes

Irina Pyleva on the DONNA June 2026 cover. Les Rêves Lacés, Chapter I: Les Jours Calmes.

Blue-and-white imagery and vivid blue ribbons make Les Jours Calmes the focal point of the cover. Styled with white, the corset brings the detail and colour; the rest of the look gives it room to be seen.

In the accompanying interview, Irina describes the collection’s beginnings in peaceful summer days, gardens, vintage illustrations, and the feeling of slowing down. Les Jours Calmes is the first chapter of Les Rêves Lacés, or “Laced Dreams”: a world conceived through original artwork rather than a ready-made fabric pattern.

According to the interview, the print took more than a year to develop and is printed exclusively for Corsettery. Its appeal lies in that authorship. You are choosing not simply a blue-and-white corset, but a piece of a deliberately imagined visual world.

Behind the Print: A Corset as a Canvas

“Corsetry is the perfect canvas for storytelling,” Irina explains in the DONNA interview. It is an idea that makes particular sense here: the lines of the garment give the artwork shape, turning an illustrated surface into a three-dimensional composition.

The conversation also explores the relationship between historical inspiration and contemporary production. Irina describes using sublimation printing to translate detailed artwork onto fabric, bringing historical references into dialogue with modern techniques.

For your own wardrobe, let the print lead. Pair it with a simple white skirt, as in the editorial, or consider tailored trousers for a different interpretation. The point is not to reproduce every detail of the photograph, but to find the version that feels like you.

Wearable Art: Acanthus & Flight

The Acanthus & Flight overbust corset with straps brings another artistic language to the story. Its fresco-inspired imagery, green edging, and sculpted shape create a richly detailed focal point against the light interior.

In the editorial, sheer layers and long yellow ribbons lend movement around the structured corset. It is a beautiful contrast: a defined silhouette surrounded by softness. Choose this direction when you want your corset to read as wearable art, with colour and imagery at the centre of the look.

Sculptural White: The Ramona Leather Corset

The white leather Ramona corset shifts the emphasis from print to silhouette. Its shaped waist and peplum create a distinct outline, while the dark skirt in the editorial highlights the contrast.

For those drawn to clean lines rather than illustration, this is a different kind of statement. The white leather lets the construction take the lead. Imagine it with a streamlined skirt for an evening look, or use the editorial’s light-and-dark contrast as a starting point for your own styling.
