Vicious Venus
Description
Vicious Venus is the collaboration and joint vision of Australian designers Joy Liakis and Natalie Wise. Sharing a love of traditionally tailored, couture clothing, they formed a partnership in 1994. With 13 years of pattern making experience and design skills between them, their work combines elements of traditional craftsmanship with modern textiles to create bold new designs. Their sophisticated styles are inspired by themes from ages past as well as futuristic fantasy. Situated in the heart of Melbourne, the Vicious Venus retail outlet opened its doors in December 1999.
To create dramatic silhouettes, Joy and Natalie experiment with modern textiles such as PVC, reflective microprism plastics and metal detailing, adapting these to old-world corsetry shapes as readily as they do more traditional materials like brocades, velvets, lace and beading. Their award winning corsetry is renowned for its quality craftsmanship and attention to detail and styling. Each individual garment is laboriously hand-made, giving careful attention to even the smallest of details, with the goal of creating each piece to withstand the test of time both physically and visually.
Both designers enjoy working closely with clients to create unique, custom-made pieces designed specifically for their needs. Couple these fabulous creations with exquisite jewelry and other modern accessories, and you begin to behold the full Vicious Venus experience.
