MALE BONDAGE | From the latest issue of VOGUE HOMMES JAPAN, comes a 30-page-spread, S&M-inspired story of male bondage photographed by Steven Klein and styled by Nicola Formichetti (fresh off the set of Lady GAGA’s Mario Testino cover for V). Klein, who replaces Hedi Slimane for the 3rd cover, seems to enjoy narratives about ultra-masculine subjugation and belittlement. See this recentish study of guns and horses for Arena Homme +. Or perhaps, it’s all metaphor — punishments for fashion crimes not-yet-committed? We covered both issues 1 (9/08) and 2 (3/09) previously.
Issue 3 — which includes the raw, “uncensored” images — is out September 10, 2009. The models include Stephen Novok (Request), Travis Hanson, Ryan Koning, Oraine Barrett, Jason Morgan, Doug Protter, Colby Jamar, Anthony Gallo (Major).
