Featuring models gazing provocatively at the camera while tugging furiously at their hosiery, it looks like a scene from an erotic photo shoot from the 70s. In fact, it's the latest campaign from Agent Provocateur which has taken inspiration from the work of foot fetish photographer Elmer Batters. Batters first brought the taboo into America's living rooms in the s by creating artful images of women with an emphasis on stockings, legs and feet.
Now his work has been given a new lease of life in images designed to 'show an intimate portrayal of the female form in fluid movement', shot by Mario Sorrenti.
This spring, Agent Provocateur has taken inspiration from the work of foot fetish photographer Elmer Batters above: model Andreea Diaconu in Sofiia. Elmer first brought the taboo into America's living rooms in the s by creating artful images of women with an emphasis on stockings, legs and feet above: Cora.
Shot by Mario Sorrenti, these images show an intimate portrayal of the female form in fluid movement above: Bluebelle. This season's muse is youthful model Andreea Diaconu styled by British stylist Jane How in a studio in London - not too far from the brand's first Soho store.
The spirit of Sarah Shotton's SS17 collection takes a new departure with diverse ranges that incorporate a strong fashion energy with vamp and seductive fabrics, and a nod to the 70s colourful, playful accents. The campaign features the key styles from the collection, including Angelica, a rework of best-selling crop top Annoushka which features stretch mesh layered with a bondage lace ribbon.
