Vicious Venus fetish mini crini skirtOld-world designs tarted up in fetish textures is a theme that indie designers have embraced with a vengeance, and corsetieres in particular have delighted in pushing clubland fashion forward by redoing the Victorian shape over in latex and PVC. However, Australian designers Vicious Venus have put their own distinctive stamp on futurefemme style with bright colors and mixed materials. Here’s their “Mini Crini,” a collapsible petticoat featuring a reflective frame overlaid with good old-fashioned black lace. And if the fact the prices are in Australian dollars still isn’t enough to get you over sticker shock, you can always snag a pair of laced gauntlets from your favorite ensemble.
