Bondage Girl Whips and chains have never been our thing, whether in our closet or under the sheets. S&M was a world we knew nothing about (except when we accidently Googled "spanks" instead of "spanx" ) and frankly something we were never too interested in exploring (pain is just not our thing). However, when designers started incorporating a bit of bondage into their Spring 2009 collections, we wondered if there was more to a dominatrix than we first imagined. Thakoon sparked the bondage craze last September with that dress (above right) and designers from Rodarte to Narciso Rodriquez carried it through the Spring 2009 runways. While we wouldn't suggest heading out in head to toe PVC or a leather bridle bit gag (we had to look that one up), expand your wardrobe (and your mind) with a few of our favorite bondage-inspired pieces above. Just don't forget to pick a safeword!
