PARIS (AFP) - After skirts, make-up and pantyhose for men, the corset, onetime symbol of women's oppression, might be the next big thing for fashion-conscious males.

Young Parisian corset maker Sylvain Nuffer began cutting, stitching and boning corsets for men four years ago and now sells 30-odd standard models a year at 500 to 600 euros (650 to 775 dollars) a shot, 40 percent more when made to measure.

"I felt frustrated by the lack of choice of clothing for men," he told AFP. "I made one for myself and they kind of multiplied."

Wearing jeans with a gray silk corset of his own making over a shirt and tie, Nuffer, who learnt the complex trade with his corsetiere mother, stands tall, waist nipped in, shoulders wide, back straight.

Men, please don't do this. Just don't. :scared:

on edit: this is not a slam -- the poster referenced has posted that corsets are a necessary part of one's wardrobe. Seriously.

:rofl:

I mean eat whatever I want, have two ribs removed and wear a torture device to impose the body outline I desire.

Yeah, no chance in hell I ever wear one.

will be the end of that.

Sad, Scary, or Disturbing. You Decide.
