BDSM aesthetic is on trend again: we buy high boots, leather trench coat and other attributes of a dominatrix

Leather suits, latex, corsages and lace-up boots are a direct nod to BDSM culture, which has once again captured the catwalks and hearts of fashion influencers this season. Over the past Fashion Week, some form of exploitative sexuality has surfaced in shows by Amush, Dion Lee, Richard Quinn, and Ferrari. Designers rely on over-cut dresses, corsets and, of course, latex overalls. By the way, more than 40 years ago, the fetish was reflected in the collections of Thierry Mugler, who skillfully quoted the image of a dominatrix woman and created his own vision of a hyperfeminine woman.

Let’s not forget Vivienne Westwood, who opened her SEX store in 1971 and started selling BDSM inspired products.

In 2022, anyone who cares has already caught on to this daring trend, including emerging style icon Julia Fox. Each appearance of the star seems to hint at her rebellious past (we remind you that the actress used to work as a dominatrix). She wears high platform heels, latex gloves, and leather corsets.

We also invite you to be brave and take a few things inspired by exploitative sexuality.
