This 'Star Trek' corset is another fantastic Etsy find made by user EveningArwen. It can be customized to any of the 'Star Trek' uniform colors, and is inspired by the design of the jumpsuits work on 'Star Trek: Next Generation.'
Like most well-made corsets, this 'Star Trek' corset is completely custom-made and personalized to your measurements. It's a must for any sci-fi fan--or their significant other.
Implications - The fashion world is heavily influenced by pop culture phenomenons that appeal to a broad range of people on account of mass consumption. This includes movies, television shows and video games with a significant influence on the masses. For this reason, sci-fi conventions and comic book fairs are not the only places where apparel inspired by pop culture is acceptable.
