Billie Eilish on Vogue cover wears suspender belt by Croatian seamstress
Popular 19-year-old Grammy-winning singer Billie Eilish had everyone talking this week when she revealed her Vogue cover shot on Instagram.
Eilish graces the cover of British Vogue’s June 2021 issue and for the shoot she is wearing a custom corset dress by Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood, stockings by Dior and a suspender belt by Croatian brand Coco’s Retro Closet.
Coco’s Retro Closet is the brand of Gordana Lakić based in Čakovec, Croatia, which manufactures and sells handmade modern retro lingerie as garter belts, girdles, matching bras and panties.
Gordana is a seamstress with over 20 years sewing experience and has a successful shop on Etsy.
“I’m speechless. Thank you,” she wrote on Instagram, posting a Eilish’s Vogue cover shot.

In her interview with Vogue, Eilish speaks about her new music and her new look. “I feel more like a woman, somehow,” she says of the corsets and blonde locks.

According to the Sun, searches for corset dresses have increased by 212% after the singer’s Vogue cover was revealed last Sunday.
Billie Eilish’s Role In The Rise Of Logomania
For this year’s Grammys, Eilish swapped Gucci’s double Gs for its gothic floral separates. But last year was a different story – first, she walked the red carpet in sparkling baggy coords and a matching mask embellished with bright green interlocking Gucci motifs that complemented her green ombré hair. Billie and Finneas then took to the stage in twinning monogram outfits, and for the afterparty, she kicked back in a blue and red logo tracksuit. The following month, she chose a louche cream bouclé tweed suit by Chanel, accessorised with double C brooches and jewellery. In case anyone should fail to identify the fashion house behind her look, she finished the outfit with fingerless lace gloves that spelled out “Chanel”.

Billie is also a fan of patterned pieces from Louis Vuitton, like the matching rainbow bucket hat, mask and balaclava she wore to an event in 2019, or the denim outfit she donned at Coachella the same year. And the star’s passion for a legacy print extends beyond her clothes. Backstage at that festival, she was presented with a cake decorated with Vuitton’s house monogram, and months later, nursing a broken ankle, Eilish strapped up her leg in a custom support boot emblazoned with the same rainbow LV print.
