Fashion designer Jaiden rVa James is heavily into the business of challenging the long-established, gender-based notions of fashion embraced by Western mainstream societies. James’ Fall 2009 collection, which is called “Human Nature”, goes even further.

Fashionisto notes, “for the upcoming fall season, Jaiden James explore(s) the dark side of the human psyche tapping into taboo sexual urges and femininity.” Hence the floral pleated skirts, straitjackets, S&M-inspired rubber wear and other super edgy, niche fashion.

The collection’s initial inspiration was Sir John Everett Millais’ “Ophelia.” Ophelia was often symbolically represented by flowers and it was her lust for Hamlet that ultimately resulted in her madness. Ophelia’s flowers and madness are the direct motivation for adorning the collection with flowers and straitjackets. This direction is executed into an odd but beautiful collection of S&M inspired leather wear, rubber leggings, and floral pleated skirts that would have Marc Jacobs in a frenzy. (thefashionisto)

love this look and it works for both men and women but it fills a need for many men who want and need bold, expressionistic options.
