Fashion’s affair of love with the Breastplate

That's such a powerful narrative—how an ancient piece of protective gear like the breastplate has evolved into a symbol of strength and artistry in modern fashion. Shakira’s Lunar Blue Wolf Gown feels like a culmination of that transformation: from something worn in battle to something that now *channels* battle-ready energy through elegance and symbolism.

The wolf motif is especially poetic—it ties into Shakira’s long-standing themes of wildness and independence (thinking back to “She Wolf”), and Gaurav Gupta translating that into a metallic breastplate turns it into wearable myth. And that idea of *armor not as defense but expression*? That’s a whole mood, especially for someone making a fierce comeback after seven years.

Do you follow fashion closely, or was it Shakira’s return that caught your eye?
