Unique Rope Art Inspired Fashion - Statement Pieces - FIGURE OF A was born from the talent of Anna Kii, Shibari artist and fashion designer.
An aesthetic, sensual and modern collection of accessories inspired by Japanese bondage, to be worn on a daily basis or in the evening with a more fetish outfit. Each piece is made to order, from top quality leather and waxed cotton ropes, handmade by the designer in London.
Ori means "woven" in Japanese. This elegant set includes a choker necklace, a pair of bracelets and a double chain. The metal chain connects the wrists to the necklace with 3 carabiners. The chain can be worn in several ways - with the choker only, being draped around the body or it can be completely detached. Each of the pieces can be worn individually.
The Shibari - Inspiration Figure of A
In Japanese, the word "shibari" means "to tie". The contemporary meaning of the word describes an art form of bondage. Originating from the ancient martial art Hojojutsu and the artist, Shunga, torture of Seiu Ito, Shibari was popularized in Japanese erotic magazines of the 1950s. Now it is a form of aesthetic bondage practiced around the world, also called Kinbaku.
Traditionally, lengths of natural fiber rope of 5, 6 or 8 mm in diameter are used. The geometric patterns made with the rope, contrast nicely with the natural curves of the body. The binding experience is always a collaboration between the rigger and the model, the result of which can explore notions of visual beauty, sexuality, power exchange, relaxation and body challenges.
Bondage accessories Shibari FIGURE OF A are available online or in store physics at Paris 5.
