I tried to emanate the unique imprint/pattern of bruising. I found this very hard but I am happy with the end result.

INSPIRATION: MAGGIE GYLLENHAAL x THE SECRETARY




The Secretary (2002) / Directed by Steven Shainberg
 
If you enjoyed Lolita and Donnie Darko, I highly recommend you watch The Secretary. If at least one of those are your favourite films than you probably have seen it already, and how good is it?! Insightful and dimensional, I remember watching this film and never fully apprehending their relationship, but re watching it recently it made more sense to me than some of the typical fairy tale love stories that I have grown up watching. Maggie is also a total babe, she makes me want do my hair and leave the house in a pencil skirt and kitten heels.

INSPIRATION: INNOCENCE VS. TRUST. VS. DEVOTION

 








Rusalochka, 1968 ( The Little Mermaid) / Submission Collar / Childlike Empress (The Neverending Story) / Splendid Isolation III (click here) / Rusalochka, 1968 ( The Little Mermaid) / James Bond, 1963 (From Russia With Love) / Delta of Venue, Anais Nin / Project Posh Fabric Swatches

As per usual, I begun my exploration and research via images that captivated my attention and resonated with the theme in mind. Apart from the obvious imagery of cat collars and bondage, I also sought inspiration from cinematic heroins, similar to Rusalochka (The Russian Little Mermaid.) At first I found it hard to explain why I was taking such a soft and fragile approach on an otherwise very strong and dominant (no pun intended) subject of BDSM, but the more I researched the more it made sense to me. The innocence and blind trust and devotion are for me what truly draws me to this topic. I spend a disgustingly large amount of my time online (hello quirky web presence which explains my actual lack of real life presence) and so a lot of these images have been collated from my Pinterest, Tumblr and Style Sight accounts. Each semester most of my inspiration is drawn from the common themes that I have blogged or pinned about, and looking over this all I guess this theme has been in my head longer than I realized.
