Jaiden rVa James poses the question: is lace a ‘for women only’ material? Not according to James.
The designer is the model here, and he is showing gender boundaries fade under his creative influence. In these shots he is wearing his own sheer black shirt, black lace pants with nude lining and velvet jackets. He also has a David Bowie-inspired electric blue velvet and sequins ensemble if the lace isn’t on the edge enough for you.
Jaiden rVa James is a new label from the United Kingdom, co-founded by Jaiden James and Rasharn de Vera Agyemang. The photos were shot by Bret Lloyd and styling was overseen by Raph Castelmezzano.
