His reaction? "Apply a real show," he excited, of his decision to come back to the below ground storage tanks of the Tate Modern, with a theatrical caged series established, that nodded to the swift bodices and crinolines in his collection. As component of his seasonal analysis, Splint went to the stores of the V&A Gallery, studying the building building of corsets dealt with through white-gloved females.
