Need some discipline?


Jaiden RVA James recently launched their Autumn/winter 2010-2011 collection. Once again, it's not difficult to realize were do controversial Rashn D'Vera Agymang and Jaiden James find their source of inspiration: do chains, handcuffs, belts, black leather and latex ring a bell? For some, the couples clothes are not "inspired by" BDSM apparel, but they actually "are" sado-mascochist gear.

Whatever their use may be, their clothes reflect an existent aspect of human psychology, and an actual lifestyle for many people, who enjoy consensual roleplay. The delight in dominance and submission has always found it's way to the catwalk no matter how bad society tries to hide it. But few designers bring it up so explicitly as this London-based African couple.

Black leather, metal rings and belts are a must, as well as JRVAJ's well known masks, but the collection also includes high heels (the models still need some practice, though). I miss the wonderful skirts featured in past collections. (See J&R Revisited)
