The new spring/summer collection from Zana Bayne explores wearing sultry harnesses as casual daywear.
Designer Zana Bayne loves playing around with leatherwork and is self-taught in her craft. She likes to make her pieces diverse for several situations from casual daywear to traditional bondage. With these straptastic harnesses, Zana Bayne encourages them to be worn over outerwear, giving a sultry shape to bodies.
Implications - Non-traditional elements in traditional fashion items have the ability to make products stand out in the competitive fashion marketplace.
