. “Comfort and practicality can be found elsewhere – that’s not what I am about.” The London-based made-to-order brand, which Mariani founded in order to pay homage to the craft of fetish wear, draws inspiration from her personal collection of old kink magazines, alongside the work of fetish designer and photographer, John Sutcliffe. “It’s my way of contributing [to the kink community] by putting my pieces in this context, in print,” she says.
“I have always preferred the garments that Sorayama or Frazetta adorn their drawings in, rather than the ones that are available in the real world,” she says. “The figures in their illustrations will be dressed in these sprayed-on pieces that look almost nude – but with a leather, latex or metal finish. Like a completely skin tight sheer pair of jeans that fade into the skin, for example.”
This research manifests in pieces such as the Prowl bodysuit, which was created to mimic the three-dimensional curves of the body even when it is not being worn, and is finished off with chrome dome nipple studs and a zipped backside. “That piece takes two days to create from start to finish,” explains the designer. “It’s a real labour of love. I love the simplicity of the Valentina heart panty also,” continues Mariani.
