This is an example of Kei Kagami’s “organic futurism,” in which clothing evokes a cyborg body. Magnifying glasses draw attention to the details of the mirrored corset.


Right: Anatomy 1 ensemble
The future is usually envisioned in terms of inorganic materials, such as metal, but Kagama rejects the Robocop image in favor of something like a Blade Runner replicant. This outfit includes glass tubes, magnifying glasses, etc., to evoke something organic.
