Knees As Erogenous Zones

Vanessa Bruno Covers Up with Lacy Knee Lingerie

Just in case you didn’t realize it, you have been sinfully showing off you knees all this time!  Luckily, Vanessa Bruno has come up with a fashionable way to hide your shame in her Spring 2010 collection. 

Her odd, volleyball player-inspired kneepads could be the designer’s answer to the overpowering legging trend.  The lace pieces came in white, black and red, and appeared on every model that wasn’t wearing pants.  I’m not sure this trend will catch on, but at least it was unexpected.
