Poupie Cadolle said that some people see being a corsetiere, or a person who makes corsets, as antiquated or even sexist. (The term “corsetiere” is sometimes used as a “pejorative,” she said.) But such notions have not stopped fashion design students from seeking apprenticeships at Cadolle as part of their studies. Apprentices that the company takes on are exposed to techniques honed by six generations of Cadolle family members involved in the business of crafting custom corsets as well as bustiers, bras and full-length bodysuits.

Which, to me, felt like victory indeed.'

Hermes (/ˈhɜːrmiːz/; Greek: Ἑρμῆς) is the god of trade, heraldry, merchants, commerce, roads, thieves, trickery, sports, travelers, and athletes in Ancient Greek religion and mythology; the son of Zeus and the Pleiad Maia, he was the second youngest of the Olympian gods (Dionysus being the youngest).
Hermes was the emissary and messenger of the gods.[1] Hermes was also "the divine trickster"[2] and "the god of boundaries and the transgression of boundaries, ... the patron of herdsmen, thieves, graves, and heralds."[3] He is described as moving freely between the worlds of the mortal and divine, and was the conductor of souls into the afterlife.[4] He was also viewed as the protector and patron of roads and travelers.[5]
Etymology and origins[edit]
The earliest form of the name Hermes is the Mycenaean Greek *hermāhās,[8] written 𐀁𐀔𐁀e-ma-a2 (e-ma-ha) in the Linear B syllabic script.[9] Most scholars derive "Hermes" from Greek ἕρμα herma,[10] "prop,[11] heap of stones, boundary marker", from which the word hermai ("boundary markers dedicated to Hermes as a god of travelers") also derives.[12]The etymology of ἕρμα itself is unknown, but it is probably not a Proto-Indo-Europeanword.[8] However, the stone etymology is also linked to Indo-European *ser- (“to bind, put together”). Scholarly speculation that "Hermes" derives from a more primitive form meaning "one cairn" is disputed.[13] In Greek, a lucky find is a ἕρμαιον hermaion.
