Metal Plated Powersuit

To keep me busy and give me something to do a few times a week, I have been doing a style challenge set by another Instagrammer. He gives his followers a ‘style prompt’ and we create an outfit inspired by this prompt. I’ve down a couple so far, one of which was an outfit prompter by the term “powersuit'“.

A powersuit is usually associated with the sharp shouldered, cobalt hued suits of the 80’s, but for me a powersuit would be any outfit that makes you feel empowered and invincible. When I started thinking about that concept, what immediately came to mind to me was a literal powersuit - a suit of armour. And of course that led me to think of my historical hero, Joan of Arc. So I decided to combine the elements of what constitutes my own idea of a powersuit and those inspired by Joan of Arc.

What we end up with is a mix of leather, chains, studs and chainmail.
