RUNWAY: KTZ SS17

To say a perversive thread ran through KTZ's latest outing would be understatement. The large amounts of black leather, harnesses, handcuffs and bedazzled gimp masks brought the sexual and kinky nature of the collection front and center. The world is a precarious place nowadays and this collection seemed to be a reflection of that. In the world of BDSM, it is all about giving up power but here, the collection seemed to be harnessing it, almost taking it back. It's an interesting proposition and while the clothes may not be incredibly comfortable in the heat of summer, it may not matter much because of the rise of seasonless fashion in an age of easy mobility.
