bondage pants. thoughts?

[backinthetrees]

anyone into these?

like such?

punk me, bitch.

[HEWSINATOR]

I think they are hideous. I am usually quite accepting of out there stuff, but these I see as a cry for help.

And what heppens if you are being chased?

makes it look like youre trying too hard... just like the kids in england in the late 70s... why dont you put a safety pin thru your nose too.

denim is the new crack

[AznInvazn]

I HATE people who wear those pants.

[Egpt]

STAY AWAY FROM THOSE PLEASE!

Stand tall or don't stand at all

[triniboy27]

Those are fugly. Someone on here had a pair of bondage Evisus which were equally as fugly.

[backinthetrees]

heh heh.

i always kinda liked them, i guess, alot of it has to do with being heavily involved in the punk scene when i was younger. the straps at the back can be removed.. and in a plain colour, i always wondered, if paired with a nice shirt, could be rather pretty.

punk me, bitch.

edit: oh yeah, vivienne westwood has some pretty nice pants, toned down, but still considered bondage pants i guess.... any thoughts on the mclaren/westwood/seditionaries productions?

I seriously feel these are hard to pull off and reserved for die hard goths who live the lifestyle and don't care about fashion.

I've got similar roots and always admired the Helmut Lang take on them. I'm not sure where you can find them nowadays but it's worth looking into, they're a nice cross between designer fashion and the punk ethos.

nice to hear bro.

damn, is there a helmut lang take? i quite like the westwood ones, but i feel that the cut isnt true to the roots somehow. you know, that really skinny, tapered thing?

anyone got a pic of the HLs?

punk me, bitch.

[backinthetrees]

cos i googled for it, but i cant find nothing.

punk me, bitch.

id say v. westwood would be the most true to the roots, since she designed the clothes for the sex pistols, and started "Punk" as a clothing style. the sex pistols were named after the shop that she and malcom mclaren owned named "sex." really, before her it was just the NY style, which was whatever you wore.

denim is the new crack

[backinthetrees]

yeah, i know abt the originals, but the present-day westwood dont make the bondage pants quite like they used to. i think you know what i mean. call them repros or whatever you want.

punk me, bitch.

[giantreptile]

if dior homme made them people would have a different opinion.

[backinthetrees]

^hahahha. likely. the slim silhouette is what everyones wearing these days.. so are these arent they?

punk me, bitch.

[poly800rock]

oi!

[tangerine]

I used to have a pair "back in the day", mine were black with red straps, and they weren't skinny at all, in fact that was my main complaint with them. I don't remember what brand they were, nothing special I'm sure since I didn't have much money then.

Avengers! Dils! Mutants! LouderFasterShorter!

ask a cassowary

[backinthetrees]

not skinny?! how does one get bondage pants which arent skinny?

punk me, bitch.

[DJ_Flame]

A person well-versed in punk would be able to carry them off, but other than that, it would sure look like the wearer was trying too hard to look "fashion-y"

Think Sid Vicious.

[b_mang]

yeah i got something like that but not as "bondage'D" as those. i tore one of my straps off by accident so now its just 1.

good to know you know the roots, tang I saw you sporting an avengers shirt (if i recall correctly) on tfs and wondered whether or not it was just an impulse buy at a vintage shop

[mlproject]

isnt half of marc jacobs' spring line zippered plaid pants and jackets?

lately the only people who are allowed to wear those with respect are streepunx. the rest shop at hot topic.

Heh, I bought that Avengers shirt at their show at Cafe du Nord, I think in late January this year. Penelope is still All That!

I used to see them every chance I got, way back... are you a veteran of the Mab shows?

[will_i_am]

[Ted DiBiase]

if you like em, wear em. fuck what people think. thats the whole reason they existed in the first place.

[Guest The Diplomatic Aristocrat]

Just stich up a pair of levis instead of looking like a dumbass wearing those pants.

I'm like the Afrocentric Asian, half-man, half-amazin'

[Corbin Law]

[artificialsky]

[Guest The Diplomatic Aristocrat]
