Emily Kasten For Gucci Aria By Mert And Marcus

Featured in EMILY KASTEN FOR GUCCI ARIA BY MERT AND MARCUS - September 2021

The BDSM themes that were subtly suggested in the runway show’s equestrian details of riding crops and harnesses here is developed more explicitly, though not without loads of class. Electrically charged with sexual tension, Mert and Marcus’ compositions explore dynamic spatial relations between bodies and the power dynamics they seem to suggest, sometimes clear and sometimes impenetrable. Some images feel voyeuristic, like we’ve looked into someone’s hotel doorway and seen something we shouldn’t have, while others feel exhibitionist, like they want to be seen.
Designer: Alessandro Michele
Photographer: Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott
