Right now among some people in DK I see a bandage trend, with skirts and tops made with wide straps of (black) fabric wrapped round the body or neatly fixed onto a waistband. I see no real cut-outs in the garments yet, but the bandagetrend could be a step towards a wider acceptance of this body cage trend. Anyone else noticed? Unfortunately I have no pictures.

I bought some bondage leather wear recently that looks like body caging to wear over a dress. It worked pretty well.

That first Stam picture is amazing.

I saw #41 on fashion toast I think and instantly fell in love with it. I'm looking for something like that, but more subtle. I found waaay more subtle through Peachoo + Krejberg, but it's not as much the body cage idea as it is a sash/necklace.

Hm, can't decide what I think of this.

Jean Paul Gauliter did this really good when he did the costume design for 'the cook, the thief, his wife and her lover' from 1989 (I think)

it's not something I would wear but it fit perfectly in with the movie

I couldn't really find any great shots, and I do not recommend this movie (it's pretty brutal) but here are some pictures that I found

this dress is quite amazing, but I couldn't find a picture with it fulllength

^ Gaultier's done things like that throughout his career. It ties into his whole love of corsetry.

Here are a few other examples of his that I could find.
