Do three editorials featuring sexy, half-naked boys adorned in leather straps constitute a "trend?" We hope so! If we can't keep our own male model on leash, we can at least drool over these pictures of someone else doing it.
Things seem to have gotten their start a few months back with this delightfully gender-fucked editorial starring Tony Ward, or the smart man's favorite male model. That shoot may not have shown much in the way of skin skin, but it definitely brought the juxtaposition of high fashion and S&M couture to the fashion mainstream. And now we have not one, not two, but three editorials featuring gorgeous male models in bondage gear.
Models Rob Evans and Taejahn Taylor attend to a glamorous Alessandra Ambrosio in the upcoming issue of Numero Tokyo. Meanwhile, models Clément Chabernaud and Stevin Hillbrands rock leather harnesses in the pages of OWN and Cyan Mag respectively. We love this high fashion bondage gear thing. After all, why go to a skeevy sex shop to drop $50-$100 your leather harnesses, leather bikini bottoms, and slave doggy leashes, when you can pop into the nearest Lanvin flagship and get the same stuff for like $2000?
