This is the lookbook for the raunchy yet sartorial Autumn/Winter 2011 collection from Void of Course called Impossibility of Love. S & M fashion is now a reality with these tailored, pitch-black silhouettes made of rubber, vinyl, and plastic. The collection features high-heeled shoes that have an adult toy as a stiletto, gimp masks and dominatrix capes -- the stuff you'd find in the dark side of a sex shop.
Void of Course is a London-based brand from the collective minds of Belfast filmmaker and actor Chris Sutton and Dublin designer Sean-Anthony Moran. This is the duo's second collection; their first, Romance of Violence, included pieces that were worn by none other than Lady Gaga.
We don't recommend that you wear these clothes on a first date -- unless you're both into the lifestyle, that is.
