KIDNAPTHEPINUP

The other day I came across a Bettie Page's video on youtube and got so inspired by it... Bettie used to be the Queen of Bondage in the 50's! I got totally fascinated by her Pin up look and attitude matched with such a practice like bondage.

As you can see somehow there's nothing vulgar in these photos, they look ironic and artistic with that sexiness of times gone by! impossible to find nowdays!

(All those bitches we watch dancing on tv programs look far more vulgar to me!)

I'm loving it! Enjoy the videos and photos

"Bondage fantasies often involve dressing in a role outfit. Typical outfits for the submissive person invoke common icons of passivity or sexual innocence (e.g. ashepherdess, nun or schoolgirl outfit for women, or a leather slave harness and cuffs for men). In a similar respect, the dominant person's attire often reflect images of power, control, and extreme discipline (a Nazi officer, police or prison warden uniform)."

LET ME BOUND YOU UP

Shooting at Villa Borghese

A few photos from the last shootings I particularly like!

The first outfit I wanted it to be quite simple. I was actually quite ecxited by the idea of taking some shots on the boat, I mean I've been living in Rome since I was a child and always known that "little lake" in Villa Borghese...In these last years always thought that woud have been a great location, and then I was dressing up a model just to finally shot there! And well I have to say it's been easy enough for me to get in the mood... I totally have a natural tendency for Romanticism! (it isn't thag good often times, but you know that's "incurarable")

The second one I just Imagined her to look quite "trés jolie", so the pink dress white shoes blabla running smiling singing yeah yeah bye...so that's the outcome ahaha

The third one, maybe due to the fact that Elena kind of reminded me of Carrie Bradshaw, I deciced to give her a bit of a Newyorker look...

Hope you like it

I had fun!

START AGAIN

The passion of Chiara // Styling

Ok here i go with a new styling post

Here's Chiara wearing one of my creations again. This time I didn't have the time to make a whole new dress,you know... I had to make it in one day, since I've been involved in the project one day before the shooting!

Anyways I just got the base from a vintage dress I had an

d tried to reinvent it my way. I think the outcome was good, I really liked it tho

I'm totally in love with ankle leght skirts and dresses! I like a lot the "bound up" effect too so I just matched it all up in this passion-of-Christ lookalike outfit.

So it all turned out to be Chiara's passion, rolling shoeless around the little (amazing) village of Sermoneta!

I'm showing you a few pictures, hope you will enjoy them!
