| CURRENT OBJECT FETISH | |

 With the latest Italian menswear offerings due to kick off in a mere matter of days, the time feels apt to cast our eyes over to the boys. Who better to kick off with than the grand dame of agitprop masculine attire, Vivienne Westwood? Never content to create a little black dress, let alone a little black suit, for A/W Westwood continues her idiosyncratic celebration of peacockery, embellishing, embroidering and bejewelling garments from head to toe - quite literally, in the case of these rebelliously flamboyant fuchsia kilt-hose.

 How easy is it to ally fashion with the trussed restraint of the sexual tack-shop? According to celebrated art director, graphic designer and agent provocateur Peter Saville, easier than you might expect. Ten years after Madonna laced herself into Gaultier's infamous reclamation of Mainbocher's corset and in the midst of a S/S season dominated by underwear as outerwear from the sublime (check Christopher Kane and Christian Dior) to the ridiculous (the less said about tatty high-street nylon negligees the better), Saville's visual collision of the erotically charged laced corset and the fetishistic extremity of a rope bondage-table is especially fitting. Custom-crafted in virginal white, Saville's strapped-up slab fuses fetish, fashion and the ready-made art object in an aesthetic tradition dating back to Duchamp, and his sardonically-monikered Fountain.

Taking shape  After a well-earned lunch break, the Hackney Wick group have come to realise that more leather is needed, eighteen more layers to be precise. The order of skin is hurriedly on its way and once here, it will go through the same process of cutting, hand filing, sanding and eventually... [more] | |
The mask  Thumping drum n bass is the current soundtrack in the studio and encouragement to Ed’s leather masterpiece, muffled only by the sound of raw manpower and sanding machines, it’s certainly an upbeat sound to the afternoon. Faces are dust (and mask) covered, and the work is really underway. Spurred on... [more] | |
