The Anders Solvsten Thomsen 'Obey' spread, featured in the first issue of Coitus magazine, takes [bondage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat) to the next level with leather masks, mechanical-looking vests, dog muzzles, haute couture harnesses, and metal dresses (for men).

Model Simone Canone was captured by photographer Pantelis in a way that retained his school-boy innocent looks with a side part, slicked-back hair and [feminine makeup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren).

**Implications** - As the concept of S&M is becoming less of a taboo topic and more of a mainstream feature, it's anticipated that businesses will look to tie in this naughty and sexual idea into other products. Though currently being mostly incorporated into [fashion designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir), this theme can also easily present itself in furniture pieces or works of decor where it may be considered more acceptable.
