I have heard of being a slave to fashion, but the recent
wave of cage-like designs is taking things literally! Mostly made form elastic and plastic based panels, these
designs are a crazy combination of a crinoline and bedroom
bondage. Barely there caged
dresses, corsets and skirts made an uncanny debut in London last season. Since then this fabulous fad has
expanded to leggings, accessories, shoes, and even underwear. Yes…caged underwear.
Marco Mitanovski sent encaged models down the runway at his
Spring/Summer 2010 showing. To add
to the mystical vibe of the designs, models also were adorned with large
antlers and face masks made of hair.
The whole dominatrix style is not something I am generally
for, but I will admit that there are a few pieces that are creeping their way
up my must-have list! Shopjeen.com, an online accessories boutique, has been
tempting me with upper body harnesses and shoulder extensions dubbed “crane
shoulders”, by Chromat. They are
just unique enough to let you test the waters before jumping into a whole new
world of fashion.
Maybe one day I’ll take the plunge, but until then I am fine
being on the outside of the cage, looking in.
xoxo, Perry
