Fashionably Restrained

Whip me, beat me, make me write bad checks!
Fashion’s naughty side is no longer behind closed doors, darlings! Brace yourselves for some stylish S&M. From chains and straps to cuffs and ties, the runways were positively littered with bondage gear. The most shocking part? This trend is (nearly) inoffensive. Indeed, CC finds most of these looks entirely wearable! So fear not, my prudish protégées, you will find something to love here that won’t require a spanking. At top left, Aminaka Wilmont's leather-wrapped legs provide a devilish counterpoint to the angelic pale shift.At right, Vivienne Westwood’s thigh-high "sandals" were left purposely undone, leaving leather straps flapping in the runway breeze.

Salvatore Ferragamo
Marios Schwab
At Alberta Ferretti and Dsquared2, the black double cuff toughened up some silky styles.
Balmain
Maison Martin Margiela (Note: Do NOT wear this to the office.)
Even the hautest houses got in on the action: At Christian Dior, a studded collar on a tiered yellow chiffon dress.

Chanel's fingerless black leather gloves and copious chains gave traditional bouclé suits an edge.

Footwear fetish? The runway offers a dizzying array of shoe porn:

Alexander McQueen's spat-effect sandals are punctuated by a squiggly, sculptural metal heel!
Thakoon’s croc and elastic ankle cuff stilettos, at right.
Jil Sander’s shackled leather platforms
Celebs love the look! At right, Heather Graham (is she not GORgeous?) in a decidedly dominatrix-inspired dress. Photo via Glamour UK.
Even dolls wear leather and fishnets! "Sultry Barbie"
