NERO Homme bills itself as “a publication about male fashion and erotic contemporary art”. Their first video dives straight into the mix of darkness and sensuality they wish to convey, a fantastically edited film called Daemon Concept by Sophie Rotas and Mark Viszlay. With model Dorothy Bohner in bodywear by Don’t Shoot the Messengers and shoes by Eniko Toth Kern, intercut with footage of a…

Lingerie is one of those categories of clothing that, no matter how much of it you own, you can always find room in the desirous fire of your materialistic heart to want more. It doesn’t matter if the 80/20 rule is in full force – that is to say they you wear 20% of your bras 80% of the time – nor does it matter…

Find difference and dissociation with this latest fall / winter 2013 collection from Sylvio Giardina. Inspired by the dark sensuality of Leo Delibe’s Lakmè Opera the shoot represents the contrasting notions of classic appeals (with materials of tweed and gabardine) and contentious design (materials associated with fetish style clothing of vinyl, mesh and neoprene), all created within the fashion phase of the 1940’s and 50’s.

For all the tomfoolery and goofing around, the tomboy outfits and loutish poses, you just know there’s a hot-as-hell sex bomb just waiting to get out of Cara Delevingne. Indeed, it’s the balance of the two sides that makes her so appealing.

In a surreal space furnished by cubes and spikes, model Anastacia seems at once an alternative future vision and a throwback to the hapless damsels of 1920′s black and white horror flicks. Katya Tsyganova’s grainy, desaturated images – with their shadows and black billowy veils and ghostly double-exposures – have a cinematic quality that’s heightened by the unnerving, lethal-looking, fetishist spiked designs by Victoria Prokhorova.

Spring is arriving in the northern hemisphere, and with it the chance to update our wardrobes with fresh new pieces that are in line with 2013′s fashion trends. And while it’s up to you as to how you choose to interpret and adapt the trends to suit your own personal style, that doesn’t mean we’re going to leave you short on guidance and inspiration. And…

It’s something of a sweet little sister to the main line, if you compare the two spring collections: Les Jupons De Tess spring 2013 is a little cheeky, mostly soft yet sexy, punctuated by some surprise fetishist details like chains and open cups. The LFT line is adorable all over, with pastel hues and draping cuts – paired in the look book with floral garlands…

Fashion and acting are not at all dissimilar; in fact you might say the two are inextricably linked. Fashion helps create a persona, a character, and that’s true for all of us whether we’re models or actors, funfare ride attendants or dental clinic receptionists. So for South African born actress Jena Dover slipping into the role of a sexy BDSM mistress wasn’t just acceptable, it…

We’ve been from the edgy depths of London to the sophisticated heights of Milan; and in the spirit of a tradition started only a week ago (in which I rounded up a wishlist of 10 covetable looks from London) it seems only fair to give Milan fashion week the same treatment. Having seen too many amazing shows to count, I’m certain this list will be…

The title of Eugene Lin’s autumn 2013 collection – Cupid de Locke – had me in Mellon Collie era Pumpkins nostalgia, not least when the song finally came washing over the room as the models did their final walk down the London fashion week (LFW) runway. Lin was riffing on Classical Greek mythology; the story of Cupid’s arrow making Helen of Troy fall in love…
