Metal Subculture

Sculpture worn on the body.

In its fourth year, Subculture expanded into the world of metal couture, crafting pieces that blur the line between jewelry, fashion, and fetish. The collection features coin bikinis, waist belts, chokers, necklaces, petal bras, jockstraps, masks, and metal scarves — forged in brass and aluminium with meticulous hand-finishing. More than adornment, these pieces are armours of expression, wearable art that holds weight, history, and desire.

Metal, transformed into couture

Subculture’s Metal collection collaboration with Tanushka Augustine blurs the line between fashion and sculpture — chain harnesses, corsets, masks, and wearable art forged from brass and aluminum. Each piece is hand-assembled, molded, and polished by artisans, balancing weight, strength, and beauty. From sculptural corsets to chainmail bikinis, this collection is a testament to craftsmanship that turns raw metal into statements of power, fantasy, and freedom. More than adornment, these are relics of desire.
