Marc Jacobs teamed up with Zana Bayne, the master of leather, to create a sassy Valentine’s Day capsule collection.
The release of this collection is just in time of Valentine’s Day and the highly anticipated release of 50 Shades of Grey on the same day. The trilogy has been buzzing for the last years due to its well known erotic sex scenes and Sex accessories are being desired more than ever.
Zana Bayna already created harnesses for the Victoria’s Secret fashion show, worked with Prabal Gurung for five seasons of accessories, and continued her own line of meticulously handcrafted bondage-inspired pieces, she certainly knows her way around a sexy-silhouette.
The two designers have created capsule collection of naughty accessories. Featuring pierced nipple pasties in Marc Jacobs’ signature heart shape, embellished blindfolds, freaky tassels, studded collars, and tight handcuffs are all handmade in NYC.
In an interview to i-D, Zana says “Seeing as my work with leather takes some aesthetic cues from elements of fetish, a high fashion take on sex toys has always been a consideration – but the timing had never been right to develop the thought further,” “when we were approached by the Marc Jacobs team in September it provided the perfect excuse to play with the concept. The idea was to work on a special selection of sexy Valentine’s Day items that were based on the signature Marc Jacobs’s heart shape.”
Modeled by Ali Michael, the capsule collection is bondage heavy and very sexy, which ranges from $65 for leather heart nipple pasties to $240 for a heart-shaped crop.
