Admittedly, this isn't strictly fashion, but it is meant to be worn. This is a piece by the (I think) Texas-based artist Rebekah Frank. It is meant to be a statement on gender normativity and forces the body into a more "confident" stance while keeping the arms pinioned (the title of the piece is, in fact, Pinion). As far as I'm concerned, this is just an interesting-looking piece, feminist statement or not. I also like that it imposes its will onto the body and alters its form, which is something that fashion has and continues to do (and explore). A garment (excluding shoes) that took on the challenge of good posture would be probably a difficult but productive endeavor. Just a thought
