Each season, Jaiden rVa James challenges the conventional way clothes and gender norms are interpreted. For the upcoming fall season, friends Jaiden James and Rasharn De Vera Agyemang explore the dark side of the human psyche tapping into taboo sexual urges and femininity. The collection’s initial inspiration was Sir John Everett Millais’ “Ophelia.” Ophelia was often symbolically represented by flowers and it was her lust for Hamlet that ultimately resulted in her madness. Ophelia’s flowers and madness are the direct motivation for adorning the collection with flowers and straitjackets. This direction is executed into an odd but beautiful collection of S&M inspired leatherwear, rubber leggings, and floral pleated skirts that would have Marc Jacobs in a frenzy.
