Structure has been huge within the fashion world this year. One of the most memorable changes in 2009 was our changed attitude towards shoulder pads. Luxirare is also no stranger to embracing more structure in our attire (as seen in the pictures above featuring some very structural bodices).
Using light chains, Luxirare made a dress that had a severely structured bodice reminiscent of Madonna circa the 80s. While I thought coned breasts looked tacky back then, I enjoy the badass modern swing Luxirare puts on the old style.
