Corsets tend to conjure up images of luxury and refinement: soft silks, silver busks, rich brocades. Clothing for aristocrats. To the joy of diesel femmes and gothic savages everywhere, Louis Fleischauer of AMF Korsets offers a more primal take on the classic design, preferring to work with “wounded” leather and claw clasps than the velvets of yesteryear, with just a touch of black satin lacing as a grace note. The result is a handcrafted, feral look that is truly end-of-the-world.
