Calling this fashion season’s dabbling in BDSM regalia a "perfect storm" of mainstream-meets-subversive, the Sartorialist has put out a photo-slide show documenting the influence of fetish culture on high style (and perhaps the reverse.)

Among some of the most provocative entries are Man Ray’s still powerful images of bound and submissive women, including a classical greek nude armless and roped tightly. If they’d wanted to be a bit less literal, the Sartorialist could have perhaps gone with his "Domaine de Sade" series.
