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.


These pieces share the Japanese avant-garde's obsession with turning the human form into something alien and beautiful. The olive platforms twist upward like architectural mutations, their heel-less stance forcing the body into an impossible ballet, while the emerald bustier melts and pools like liquid jade frozen mid-drip.
