Example Interview : Pearls & Arsenic – For The Few (Brand Name + Tagline)

3

Introduction : (brief summary of the brand)

Pearls & Arsenic — Brand Summary
Born in the electric heart of Hong Kong, Pearls & Arsenic is the intoxicating vision of designer Raven Tao, a brand that blends old‑world glamour with contemporary edge. Her corsets and corset-style accessories are synonymous with femme fatale elegance — mesh and lace meeting a whisper of danger worthy of their name.
Pearls & Arsenic’s work balances decadence and discipline, echoing historic influences with modern silhouettes. Though the atelier officially closed in 2020, it relaunches in 2026 — a cult favourite for collectors and corset lovers who romanticise the intersection of sensual restraint and mischievous luxury.
