The bra may be considered the bane of women's existence (to an extent), so Laura Jacobs has decided to take this constricting item of clothing and free it. Through art, she has reclaimed this restricting undergarment and made it her own.
Inspired by anything and everything from sea creatures to antique glass, Laura Jacobs has created a collection of unique bras. According to her site, "Breasts are symbols of -- and vehicles for -- power. Like the twinned temples of Angkor Wat or any ancient shrine, Laura Jacobs has made temples to befit them, define them and sometimes hold them, in ridicule."
