This morning I watched a documentary about people who struggle with compulsive shopping, and I thought to myself, I really need to get to the mall. If that mall was Browns.

Anyway, sort of clockwise from left: YSL cage clutch, VPL fractional bra, YSL black stone ring, Jil Sander fringe dress, Lanvin cuff, Sandra Backlund dress, Maria Francesca Pepe nut ring, Preen double-layer mesh dress, Limi Feu mesh vest, Givenchy lace-up wedges, Nicholas Kirkwood heels.

I know cage skirts have been around for ages, and that Susie, Tavi and Queen Michelle have had their hand with them, but yesterday I was perusing the Refinery 29 pages I've missed because of my vacation and I finally found a name for a file that has been floating around in my inspiration folder for ages.

Feng Feng Yeh's new line Savant (she's one of the Six Six Sick girls evidently).

Feng Feng's SS09 collection photos; the original pink mystery skirt to the right.

Brian Lichteberg's cage dress and Queen Michelle's version

There are of course non-elastic cage skirts out there; a sampling.

Acne SS08 cage skirts - the ones that launched a thousand blogger knockoffs.

Comme des Garcons' cage dress, as lusted after and alchemied by Susie

Jean Paul Gaultier's cage waist skirt available at eLuxury - reduced to $500ish.

Limi Feu's cage skirts from SS09 (I still want those headphones).

Bordelle lingerie, obviously. For those not already fans of their work, I suggest a trip to their website.
