Callie's+Prosthetic









The piece I wish to show is a prosthetic. What I have chosen to create is from my background and personal interests in fashion. I have for many years had a passion for fashion and I have been surrounded by the love for fashion by my older sisters. I also feel that I do share a love for fashion because I came from a family that owned a textile company as well others working in the interior design businesses. This prosthetic is referencing a corset, a very important element of clothing worn as an undergarment starting quite some time back in history. Knowing that corsets restrict natural body movements, I chose this as a prosthetic because I wanted to exaggerate what it stands for. Corsets are typically a thin layer and very tightly fit to re-shape the body to what was considered beautiful or aesthetically pleasing but the type that I chose to make is more than tight and thinly fitting. The rest will be up to the viewer to decide what each element added to the piece is there for. I would not want to give away too much information.
