Emerald Green Fiberglass Sculptural Bustier

Deconstructivism · 1980s · Japanese

A sculptural bustier molded from translucent green fiberglass-reinforced polyester resin, creating an organic, flowing form that appears to capture fabric in motion while being completely rigid. The piece features undulating surfaces that suggest draped textile while maintaining the glossy, industrial finish of molded plastic. The bustier's silhouette follows the torso's natural curves but extends into abstract, wing-like projections that blur the boundary between fashion and sculpture. This represents the experimental intersection of Japanese avant-garde fashion with industrial materials during the late disco era, when designers began exploring synthetic materials as artistic media rather than mere fabric substitutes.
