showcasing the artistry of the leg cast from yesteryear
"why the cast?"is probably the question most often asked by potential models and others. Our philosophy at Gimpix is that a cast is not just a medical item. We prefer to think of a cast like an item of clothing or footwear, or more accurately a fashion accessory.
The casts of yesteryear were truly pieces of artwork. At the least, a unique work of sculpture which if well executed would accentuate and compliment the shape of the female leg. Furthermore, the smooth texture of the plaster would often double as an artists canvas and soon become a rainbow of colour.
Alas, nowadays traditional plaster casts have been replaced in most of the world by hideous monstrosities that resemble robotic ski boots. Gimpix is dedicated to preserving the artistry of the traditional leg cast by recreating these plaster works of art and combining them with the fashions of the period. Brasil is one of the few countries where traditional casts appear to still be widely used.
