The Fetish Trend photo spread is one blatant example of the fashion industry's current obsession with rather daring sensual shoots. Yet interestingly enough, the title of the editorial is much more risque than the photos themselves. With the exception of a couple of dominatrix-like props, the shoot shows pieces that are pretty wearable.
Shot by Cate Underwood for the L’Officiel Ukraine magazine's November 2011 issue, the Fetish Trend photo spread stars model Masha Kirsanova. Title aside, the Fashion Trend editorial actually has more of a 'Kill Bill' theme as Kirsanova happens to look a lot like Daryl Hannah's character Elle Driver a.k.a. California Mountain Snake.
Styled by Julie Pelipas, the Fetish Trend photo spread features designs from Givenchy, Louis Vuitton and Diane von Furstenberg.
