When Brooklyn transplant Zana Bayne decided to go pro with her harness line, she went all out. She introduced her webshop in the extremely end of last year, then quit her main job and went on a two-week jaunt to Europe. So, "it had to function," she said. Now, less than 1 12 months after the official launch of her assortment, the 23-year-old's leather wares have popped up in quite a few fashion editorials, Prabal Gurung's spring runway plus a host of hot bodies like Ciara, Katy Perry, and most recently, Lady Gaga.
In Could, Bayne made gold harnesses for the dancers supporting Gaga's appearance on Saturday Evening Live and this summer she crafted intricate, full-body harnesses for your popstar's latest music video, "You And I." Bayne was already a fixture within the fashion scene when she started experimenting with leather accessories-she runs Garbage Dress, a blog chronicling her penchant for black clothes and sharp details-when she realized that her interest in leather harnesses intersected using a gap within the market.
So how'd she strike gold with high fashion fetish gear? We sat down with Bayne to locate out.
On her style:
"It's constantly evolving. To be honest, I do not consciously try to wear black all the time, it just happens that all of the clothes I like come in black. But I'm a real junkie for fit, shape, texture, and it happens when you're sporting all that in black, it matches better."
On Function:
"I've pulled far more all-nighters this year than I feel like I did my four years of college. For your last 1 I did I did not even drink coffee or Red Bull-I do not like to stop projects inside the middle, I'd instead perform until it is done."
On inspirations:
"Anything from a collar on a shirt to some lines that just come into my head can inspire me. I'll sometimes sketch things or I'll see a garment and think, 'What kind of harness could work on that? Sometimes I like to start with the idea. Such as the last collection I was looking via a great deal of bullfighter costumes-all the intricate stitching-I guess that type of attitude carried via."
