Known for fabulous chainmaille body adornments, designer Fannie Schiavoni has now created this sexy scaly armour-like gown. A combination of draping interlocking chains and overlapping reptilian scales, this Fannie Schiavoni dress is not particularly wearables, but I would love what it would look like worn over a black sleeveless bodysuit.
As part of her most recent collection for Spring 2011, Fannie Schiavoni has also designed metal collars and a fantastic hand armor cuff in layered two-toned steel scales originating from a chainmaille bracelet.
