# Graffiti Corsets Austere Style So Hot, Even Lady GaGa Can't Resist By Jacqueline Parrish | Published 2009-07-11 | Luxury Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graffiti-corsets-lady-gaga References: [sweetcarousel](http://sweetcarousel.com/) A collaboration between Edmonton’s hottest corset designer, Elise Truong (Sweet Carousel), and the exceptionally talented graffiti artists Kashvenoms, resulted in the production of “Sweet Venom,” strikingly-sexy one of a kind corsets so austere that even the lavishly chic Lady GaGa could not wait to get her hands on them. Drawing inspiration from Gothic Lolita, Ms. Truong’s designs give off a feeling of modish Baroque sprinkled with a hint of sugary sweetness and more than a pinch of attitude. Paired with the glaringly creative artwork of Kashvenoms, these delectably dark corsets are the definition of wearable art.
