Maria Lucia Hohan Christa X Corset in Check
The Maria Lucia Hohan Christa X Corset in Check is an authentic Multicolour piece from the Evening 2026 collection, cut in 98% virgin wool, 2% elastane (checked fabric). Maria Lucia Hohan is the Bucharest eveningwear house the designer founded in 2003, and its work rests on two ideas: hand-pleated metallic silk that drapes close to the body, and corsetry built to be worn on the outside. Coveti authenticates every piece before it ships.
Christa X shapes the body with a fitted waist and a lace-up back that adjusts the fit. It has a deep cleavage and detachable suspender belts, cut in checked fabric. The effect is an hourglass line with a tailored finish.

How to Wear the Christa X Corset in Check
The house wears it with the matching wide-leg trousers as a suit. Add a pointed shoe and a sharp blazer over the shoulders.
- Let one piece lead: the pleating and the boning carry the look, so keep jewellery small and the shoe fine.
- Corsetry as outerwear: the house wears its corsets over wide satin trousers and with tailored blazers, never hidden.
- Height and hem: the gowns are shown on a 178cm model, so take the hem to a heel you can dance in.
