The collection relies on the aesthetics of kink and BDSM wear, incorporating fetish motifs throughout the range of apparel. Select pieces use cut-outs and holes for a voyeuristic approach, while glossy black pleather adorns long-length hooded coats. A pair of detachable leather shorts are fastened to the legs of denim jeans, serving a peek-a-boo effect at the thigh area. Additional pieces include a tank top with straps at the back that form an upside-down pentagram, zippered nylon cargo pants, [bomber jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir), and multiple tops with chainlink halter straps. For womenswear, there are multiple bustiers and corsets made from leather and denim, in addition to a pair of trousers fitted with suspenders and a matching cropped blazer. Interested parties can explore the John Lawrence Sullivan Spring/Summer 2023 collection and other offerings at the brand’s website.
