Strappy accents have been spotted literally everywhere, from backup dancers at the VMA’s, to totally drool-worthy beach pics on Instagram or post-workout gym selfies. It’s hard to deny that anything remotely “caged” is not officially a major trend.
Chromat’s latest collection featured at New York Fashion Week is no exception. Known for their signature risqué, edgy style fit for a Bond girl (or the next “Fifty Shades” movie), Chromat certainly did not disappoint.
Real life femme fatales took the runway by storm, walking with heavy brows, slicked back ponytails and chunky platforms. Wearing sexy variations featuring X straps and waist-cinching caged detailing at the waist, the collection was fittingly dressed to kill.
Designer Becca McCharen, mastermind behind all of the heart stopping looks for Chromat Fall 2015 collection, raised the bar for her conceptual ideas to another level.
With cone-shaped cut-out visors and strappy showoff corsets, the details of this innovative collection venture into futuristic territory. Featuring intricate latex cage bustiers, criss-cross strapped bralettes and even laser beam dresses, the Autumn/Winter “Mindware” 2015 collection bridges the gap between tech-meets-fantasy.
Latex played a major role in the Matrix-approved collection, as the models sauntered in garters and thigh highs or latex bodices.
Utilizing 3D printing, McCharen created a selection of seriously fierce, bondage-inspired pieces. With an emphasis on empowering women of all backgrounds and sizes, McCharen personally selected models who exuded a confidence that’s both strong and powerful.
The diverse models included plus size and transgender women to walk down the runway, fearlessly working it in fitted bodysuits equipped with avant-garde accents.
