The sunglasses top by Paris label LEAWALD gets just one line of description on the brand's website: '3D sunglasses bra.' Yet it has been worn by multiple Korean idols, and this top, where the sunglass lenses become the cups exactly as they are, only begins production by hand in Paris once an order arrives. Founder Léa Waldberg trained first in special effects makeup, and she turned a childhood habit, tearing apart and reworking her mother's clothes, into the brand's core method. Thanks to that training, things that once sat on the face and skin keep migrating down onto garments.
A hair skirt stitched together from wigs, toe shoes topped with wax and false nails, the Tattoo Skin series that transfers tattooed flesh into print, and then the sunglasses bra. The making of each piece is shown on TikTok, exactly as it happens. The line the brand puts forward reads like this: made for those who move differently. Are you someone who moves differently?
