Fantastic laser-cut leather pieces, [tiger print cat suits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-tiger), [aggressive gladiator strapped thigh-high boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/untamed-nature), and dip-dyed tassels create these fierce looks shown in Paris. The overall look is not for the mild; however, Lie Sang Bong’s details are trendworthy on their own. The lace-up bodices, if available separately, would be an edgy addition to a simple black dress and a pink and black tassel skirt would be ultra fun for a night at a club.
