Excuse me, but when did wild sex come back in style? - Stanford Blatch
Whips and Flails and leather clad females is what comes to my mind when I look through several shows from Fall 2011.
Bondage Fashion!
These two words are the single trickiest two words in the fashion dictionary. Immediately my mind gets occupied by cheap PVC thigh high boots, corsetry made in china and plastic wigs from ebay! But think again.
You don’t necessarily see paddles and collars in Hakaan or reigns and shackles in Heider Ackerman, which you would see in a typical bondage armoury. It all depends on what you think ‘Bondage’ is??
Restraint. Not restraint in just a kinky way, but in a sense of authority, austerity and the elegance of refusal. Something you assume to be a comparatively dark desire which you are anxious not to judge or dare to ask.
Or it could be that moment when you think ‘Dare I? but what would people think?’
