There is lingerie, and there is whoa...lingerie.
Ingrid Goldbloom Bloch is creating undergarments that fall into that “whoa...” category. Her latest is bustiers, garters and panties made from recycled soda cans and hardware.
While definitely beautiful, and definitely possessing an eco-friendly touch…I’m not quite sure how it’d feel to wear these for a night out on the town. Aluminum is not exactly ideal for, um, breathability.
Bloch makes a whole slew of amazing pieces from recycled materials like soda cans. See more on her Flickr stream.

Three words: Ow ow ow!
Let Beyonce or someone going to the Academy awards model it (with a T underneath).
Great for removing those pesky nipples..... OW
Under-armor, huh? I imagine you'd wear REGULAR underwear under it, to protect your skin.
...although, I'm not sure how the heck you'd expect to wear anything over it.
I agree with "pretty cheap jewelry", Let Beyonce or someone going to the Academy awards wear it and everyone will want one. Also likr Rache said, "wear REGULAR underwear under it" and it might not be so bad.
Well, this made my day. It sure takes the whole "chainmail bikini" thing to a whole new level! XD
Sure looks painful, though. 0_0
Haha, talk about some uncomfortable underwear! And I thought women were complaining about there being a wire!
