Goffa Corset

Goffert Corsets - The famous Belgian couturier, famous in Europe and America, is known abroad under the name Hoffa. He was born into a large family with a rather modest financial situation. Hoping to somehow help the children, his mother went to repair and rent old clothes for her parents. The designer understood the value of things, especially the things of good people. In the 1950s, Corset moved to Rome, worked in the studio of the famous fashion designer Romeo Gilly, and sewed a batch of swimsuits for the actress and singer Monroe.

After which he received an invitation to work with the famous couturiers of that time, Coco Chanel, and the fashion designer laureate at Paris Fashion Week. Being a gifted tailor, he had a special gift for reproducing various shapes and silhouettes from memory, which is of particular importance to the couture industry. He was unemployed only occasionally. He collaborated with the company Emanuel Hugon, which would later create the famous Chanel bags. Corset later said: “Chanel paid me to create the costumes for this film because she had no choice!”

In 1964, Goff visited Switzerland and signed a contract with the studio to design the costumes that were created for the horror film Clowns of Higashider, based on the poem cycle by Yukio Mishima. Three years later, a new collection was created: outfits for him and for animals. And the Monroe story was not an isolated incident.
