Corsetry and heavy metal may seem like an odd mix, but in the hands of designer Maya Hansen, the look rocks. Corsets are often found in burlesque and Gothic fashion, but for 2010, Hansen uses insignias from 80s rock bands to embellish her collection.
The Heavy Metal collection includes black leather, feathers, rhinestones and plenty of skulls, crosses, flames, studs and guitars. Just for fun, the last image in the gallery was from a previous Maya Hansen Collection called 'Cake Corsets.'
