These warrior-wear 'Bustier Sets' are part of Paul Hersey's 'Organic Armor' collection. The bustier sets may look like they would weight you down with pounds of uncomfortable metal, but the opposite is true; 'Organic Armor' is made from soft, flexible, light weight rubber. The garments are available in many metal-look finishes and in five styles, each of the three pieces available separately.
Hersey's designs are, “inspired by craftwork from ancient cultures and dream worlds,†and are only part of Hersey's vast handmade 'Organic Armor' collection, which includes horns, hats and jewellery for adults and kids, all made from rubber.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Lightweight Armor
- The success of Organic Armor's lightweight rubber armored bikinis opens up opportunities for designers and manufacturers to innovate lighter weight armor for protection wear.
- Ancient-inspired Craftsmanship
- Fashion designers can take inspiration from ancient cultures and dream worlds to create unique and interesting pieces using ancient techniques and craftwork.
- Rubber Jewelry
- Expanding the wearable rubber jewelry trend would allow designers and artisans to create unique statement pieces that provide shock resistance, durability and flexibility.
Sectors Adopting This
- Fashion
- Fashion companies can explore incorporating organic armor and similar materials to create lightweight everyday wear clothing items and accessories.
- Protection Wear
- Armor manufacturers can use lightweight rubber material and incorporate ancient craftwork techniques to design and create protective wear such as helmets, gloves, and jackets.
- Pet Industry
- Pet accessory companies can use rubber material to create the next generation of comfortable and durable accessories for pets, such as harnesses, collars, and leashes.
