FOTUS Fetus 1999SS Fluorescent Tube Silver Bangle with Fetus Mark

FOTUS is a German word meaning "fetus," and the designer is Masahiro Saito.
Originally a graphic designer within the design company SHIN&COMPANY, which primarily dealt with miscellaneous goods, Saito became independent after establishing FOTUS in 1996.
The brand aimed to fuse music, video, and fashion, embodying the curiosity, imagination, and potential for the future that adults tend to forget. The fetus was chosen as the brand's icon, representing its core concept. FOTUS gained cult popularity, particularly within the underground club and rave culture scene.
In the late 90s, FOTUS held an exhibition in London, England, which was highly praised and featured in local fashion magazines. The brand was part of the 90s designer boom, attracting attention from DJs and artists worldwide. Along with brands like W< (Belgium), FOTUS is a valuable, now-defunct brand that was full of futurism.

This is a silver bangle from FOTUS.
It's a metal bangle with a fluorescent silicone tube that glows under blacklight, named "A.I." The size can be adjusted with a little force.
This is a second-type prototype, where the fetus mark is attached with screws on the back, rather than the first type's adhesive.
In recent years, bangles are often worn over long sleeves or on the upper arm, so it's recommended to wear this over light outerwear in the fall and winter.
The cyberpunk design, reminiscent of Ghost in the Shell, is a valuable Y2K archive that cannot be substituted by other brands.
Recommended for those who love Cyber Dog, techno culture, and rave culture.

Due to being a very old vintage archive, there are some minor scratches and dullness.
