Today I Need This

Bespoke Face Corset and Neck Brace by London artist Paddy

http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=19170589

not only because maybe I’m feeling a little droopy, but because it’s a gorgeous, thought provoking hand-crafted work of art. From the artist’s etsy shop, madybypaddy:

“Due to popular demand, Paddy is making available for the first time his unique Silk Face Corset and Neck Brace garments. Paddy was originally commissioned by London’s Victoria & Albert Museum to produce a series of facial garments in response to themes and issues relating to cosmetic surgery raised at the Museum’s event ‘Short Cuts to Beauty’. Each Face Corset is made specifically to fit the commissioners face and combines ‘facial body play’ with beautifully crafted workmanship. Each commission will be produced over a number of weeks via a postal fitting correspondence.”

Happy Friday!

  1. I know a few people that this would look great on.

  2. tonitiller Says:

    want.

  3. does it come in any other color? white? black? chartreuse? it just seems so leatherface to me.

    • Terry, if you follow the link he’s got a few examples in other fabrics. he’ll make it to your specs. the attention and detail that goes into making these is really incredible. i could see you in a chartreuse one with bright blue details.
