From corsets to c-nty cone bras, Fall Winter 2024 runways were every sex-positive hypebae‘s dream.
Keep reading for our top 10 kinky moments you missed this season.
Leather, Latex and Chains Dominate
Is fetish fashion finally receiving its mainstream flowers? This season, major names from Rick Owens to Gucci and Di Petsa reimagined leather, latex and chain-detailing. The result? Stunning FW24 collections with new kinky undertones. Owens, specifically ditched tops for more extravagant latex boots and Laquan Smith elevated power dressing with literal leather suits. Latex gloves, another dominatrix fav, dominated runways, as well.
Mia Khalifa in Sheytan
Our favorite hypebae, Mia Khalifa arrived at Esther Manas in a sheer naked dress layered with none other than her sex-positive jewelry brand, Sheytan.
Nipples, Nipples, Nipples
Adorned nipples were all the hype this season from DSquared2‘s nipple tassel dress to David Koma‘s bedazzled nipples.
Irma Universo x Frida America Shibari Gowns
Emerging designers Frida America and Irma Universo joined the likes of Ludovic de Saint Serninand Dilara Findikoglu with a very kinky showcase. Featuring literal red pink gimp masks, Shibari and submissive models crawling on the floor, the “Lithium” collection was a sex club brought to life.
Shibari, for those unfamiliar, is a form of ancient Japanese rope bondage that is often referenced through fashion. Last season, Shibari was referenced on both Sinead O’Dwyer and Chet Lo‘s runways hinting towards mainstream integration. By the start of 2024, Megan thee Stallion tapped the art form in her #1 single, “HISS,” and just in time for FW24 runways, shibari shape-shifted into gorgeous gowns.
Vaquera Fall/Winter 2024
Vaquera’s show was “MONEY.” Inspired by punk and capitalism’s most rebellious groups, the NYC-based brand left little to the imagination with tits out leotards, chap skirts and a creatively crafted cone bra… wedding dress.
Alectra Rothschild’s Masculina Brought the Dolls Out
Copenhagen Fashion Week was blessed with Rothschild’s rave-themed showcase featuring skin, skin — and more skin. “Embracing her journey as an openly trans woman and her buzzy career in fashion (the designer is already loved by names like Michèle Lamy),” Rothschild revealed her “rebirth through her FW24 show, which featured zero-waste dresses, thongs and low-waisted flared trousers.”
Cunty Corsets
With the constantly growing popularity around Netflix’s Bridgerton, it was only a matter of time before corsets began to trend. By 2022, its resurgence was solidified. But where the garment was once an accessory to a dramatic look, Fall/Winter 2024 runways reintroduced corsets as the main character. Dreaming Eli, for example, released a collection of corsets, taking the form of dresses and tops with nothing underneath.
Gimp Masks Get the High Fashion Treatment
Largely known in the BDSM community as every submissive’s fav, gimp masks are part of a “gimp suit, which is a leather suit that fully covers the body.” Cleverly, these usually only leave a slot for the mouth for kink play that involves oral sex. Our favorite iteration of the gimp mask was emerging designer Jane Wade’s chain-link gimp mask which not only reimagined gimp masks, but gimp suits.
AREA and Weiderhoft also debuted gimp masks on FW24 runways, with AREA offering sweet seduction through a pink, opulent mask and Weiderhoft scaring the literal sh-t out of us with a metallic edge — and eye cutouts.
Chokers Galore
Now introducing every Y2K babe and kink enthusiasts fav: chokers. Known for exuding authority, chokers are a coming-of-age item for Y2K babes while the BDSM community dons these as symbols of status, aka dominant or submissive. Designer Dilara Findikoglu played with the BDSM edge and aimed to stick it to the patriarchy with looks that demanded attention. Specifically, her chain link choke and corset dress taps the essence of the dominatrix — how fitting for the show’s intention.
Cone Bras Make a Comeback
Cone bras are clearly making a comeback and FW24 runways know no bounds. Front row, UK media personality Maya Jama donned a cone bra dress to the Dolce & Gabbana showcase at Paris Fashion Week. Vaquera debuted a cone bra wedding dress — yes you read that correctly — while Findikoglu gave it a more casual edge.
Honorable Mentions:
JW Anderson Taps Erotic Thriller Eyes Wide Shut
Speaking of freeing the nipple, JW Anderson’s FW24 collection was inspired by none other than American classic erotic thriller, Eyes Wide Shut. For the first time, Anderson used a film as inspiration for a collection, and of course, it had to be erotic. The hit thriller follows the story of hidden desires and underground sex clubs, birthing a collection that highlights nipples with sheer and erotic drawings, and also tights as a “Second skin,” — aka underwear as outerwear.
Han Kjøbenhavn’s Take on Submission
The show titled “SILENCE” was “loud and clear” as HYPEBEAST reported. Featuring its usually kinky and flamboyant edge, Kjøbenhavn’s showcase debuted a new iteration of the gimp mask, leaving little to the imagination and a rather poetic take on submission.
GCDS’ Playful Hello Kitty Bra
Toying with the idea of playfulness, the Milan-based brand debuted a Hello Kitty inspired collection. One element we didn’t expect? Hello Kitty tapping the adorned nipples trend but to our surprise — we love it.
Pressiat Fall/Winter 2024
Pressiat served a lesson in c-nt with model and musician Santa donning its cheekiest look. Check out the full runway moment above.
Di Petsa’s Pocket P-ssy
An ode to “female empowerment and acceptance,” Di Petsa founder Dimitra Petsa debuted a “Masturbation Pocket” for women. As shared in our highlight piece, “The FW24 show memorialized dressing as a ritual, making its moment of pleasure all the more significant.”
