Since making her international debut at Louis Vuitton‘s 2015 cruise show in Monaco, Sora Choi has been living a hectic, jet-set life. From flying all over the world to walk in dozens upon dozens of shows each year, to modelling for more than 50 advertising campaigns and posing for editorials in seven versions of Vogue, it’s a wonder the 28-year-old South Korean has any time at all to unwind. When she does get a spare moment to breathe, it’s by watching her favourite anime or playing League of Legends.
Speaking of being rendered breathless, one of the supermodel’s recent summer style choices has knocked fans flat on their backs. It’s the corset—that historical element that cycles in and out of popularity every few years. With a few deft strokes of the keyboard, Choi has declared it back in vogue. One recent Instagram post showcases a razor-sharp avant-garde edge, with Choi assuming a leather attitude in a courtyard. A winning, form-fitting choker plays a duet with the corset, offsetting the looser aspects of her ensemble. That combination resurfaces in another street-style post, with a beret and pair of Come un Smile shoes.
