It is possible that Givenchy's Haute Couture for 2012 looked in the past at Ethel Granger images?
Could be Ethel Granger the muse for Givenchy, too? ...... for fashion world, again?
I think it is!  Her image still is the source of inspiration for the fashion designers.

Ethel Granger

The wife of William Granger, Ethel Granger is well-known for her thiny waist in the world and for her piercings. Succumbing under pression of her husband who had an obsession with corsets and piercings, Ethel started to wear corsets day and night. Her noise and ears were rudimentary pierced with a silver needle, only in order to satisfy her husband. Ethel's first earrings were designed by her husband, himself.
Her waist size became very small, being forced to wear very small corsets and even metal corset in the absence of her husband. She were, also forced to wear 14 cm high heels, with no platform, immobilized her leg almost vertical....
All this for the husband's nonsense and to satisfy him....
The discovery of a comet by William in the 50's brought Ethel Granger presence in a TV show, and it all began ............ Ethel Granger, Fashion Muse .....
