# Couture Bondage Art Rosy Rox Uses Shiny Jewels To Revamp Old Notions of Naughty By Jocelyn Lee | Published 2009-02-04 | Naughty Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/couture-bondage-art-medieval-to-divine References: [artnet](http://www.artnet.com/Artists/ArtistHomePage.aspx?artist_id=424086569&page_tab=Artworks) Rosy Rox is demystifying the distasteful, dark and dangerous by reexamining the invested meaning behind bondage tools. Her pieces of [shiny jeweled art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chiyu) liberate [bondage from its medieval association](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zhilyova) with pain and attach bliss to the notion of bondage. Apparently bondage connoisseurs experience bliss and ecstasy from this practice, but who would know this based on the image of rough leather and drab whips? With [glass beads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/painting-exhibition), ravishing paint and elegantly crafted metal, Roxes work suggests that a romp with bondage is as good as cloud nine. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Naughty](https://www.trendhunter.com/naughty) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Modern Bondage Art:** Artists are using shiny jewels and elegant metals to modernize the image of bondage and provide opportunities for innovation in the adult entertainment industry. - **Reimagining BDSM Culture:** There is a growing trend of reexamining the historical context of BDSM culture and its connotations, which presents an opportunity for innovation in the sexual wellness industry. - **Sensual Design:** Designers are incorporating beauty, sensuality, and art into sex toys and accessories, revolutionizing the adult entertainment industry and creating opportunities for innovation in product design. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Adult Entertainment:** The adult entertainment industry can benefit from the modernization and reimagining of bondage culture by incorporating more elegant and artful elements into their products and marketing. - **Sexual Wellness:** The sexual wellness industry has the opportunity to explore the historical context and cultural connotations of BDSM in order to create more inclusive and informed sexual health products and education. - **Art and Design:** The art and design industry can create new art pieces and products that resonate with the growing culture of modern and sensual BDSM imagery and accessories. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sexuality-Exploring Artful Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rude-arts-club.md) - [Customizable Statement Accessory Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rocknot.md) - [Sex-Positive Art Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carne-bollente-3.md) - [Limited-Edition Erotica Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toy-stories.md) - [Handcrafted Flower Crown Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handcrafted-flower-crown.md) - [Complimentary Sculptural Jewelry Pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-jewelry-piece.md) - [Raunchy Anime-Inspired Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manuela-soto-sosa.md) - [Consciously Cool Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-art-of-adornment.md) - [Provocative Can Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/provocative-can-design.md)
