Enceased in Leather
When I saw this picture for the first time, I found myself instantly dreaming going out tonight with a lady covered with shiny black leather like this Yves Saint Laurent model. When sitting in the opera, her 16 button length gloves get warm and soft and softer. She is sweating a little bit in the hot shell of her tight leather gown, and wonderful leathery smell is filling the air. People from all sides look and listen. Whenever she moves, her glistening second skin is producing sweetest noise. And at the end, when she is clapping her leather covered hands, the sound is outstanding.
I grab her hand, kiss her fingers, and she smiles and makes me the happiest man in the world.
On the catwalk in leather
This gorgeous fashion idea is from Givenchy. The bustier gown is magically fixed at the womans breast, and the intriguing elbow gloves end up with a belt-like construction. If you click on the thumbnail picture and get the full-size pleasure, you'll find that the gloves are punched with tiny holes. Notice that women wearing leather gloves and leather garment always tend to caress their buttery soft leather hide with their gloved fingers. So this model is feeling her own waist through her enormously thin gloveleather. It must be one of the best moments in a fashion model's life to be put into wardrobe like this. Imagine the last moment when she slides into the brandnew, very very tight fitting gloves, feeling the ultimate transformation. Then she steps out, feeling the awe and the admiration of the people watching her walk on slender heels.
Breakfast at Tiffany
This is another Givenchy design. As a tribute to Givenchy-only dressed up Audrey Hepburn, this woman is smoking with gloved hands. I know that some glove gourmets get extra kicks by girls smoking in gloves. I like the idea of being at the restaurant with her, and she is unable (and unwilling) to put off her tight gloves. She is very experienced. Being a real elegant woman, she is spending most of her day in gloves, having hundreds of them. When you click on the picture, watch the small wrinkles at her wrist and elbow. The size of these gloves is extremely tight around her arms. When she is bending the elbow, she is feeling every little crease of the narrow leather tube.
All I wear is gloves
There are different theories about this picture. Some say, the girl has put elbow gloves over her shiny black bodysuit, and it is difficult to see the gloves' end. Others hope that she is dressed up with a seamless shirt-glove-combination. Anyway, I love it when women wear jacket and gloves of the same material. Again you see that she is caressing her face, feeling the gentle leather touching her made-up face. The gloves are buttoned at the wrist, allowing an extra tight fit around the wrist. Have you ever experienced how erotic a leather-enceased wrist can be?
Gloves at your command
Pierre Cardin designed this somewhat strange cubistic jacket, and the fashion photographer did what much more fashion photographers should do to brush up dull clothing: add gloves, and you get a sufficient portion sex-appeal!
Leather
power
Is leather violent? Yes, but in a beautifully soft way. A woman in leather is a woman in arms. She is the amazone archetype. The more difficult it becomes for men live their warrior archetype, the more comfortable feel women in this place. Leather and metal is a stunning combination, both male materials, Yang energy (like spike heels and the color "glistening black"). A woman in leather needs extra female Yin power to fill the Yang shell. I think, this is one of the many mysteries about the fascination of leather.
What's in a kiss?
A great picture about a great opportunity: Kiss a ladys elbow glove. In former days, it was absolutely inappropriate for a woman to attend any social event with bare hands.
A day at the races
Especially in London it was absolutely impossible to join the hourse races without hat and gloves. This particular woman, supermodel Jean Shrimpton, was the one who broke the rules in the mid-60ies. She came ungloved and broke ground for a new generation. Here, she fortunately comes gloved and with marvellous leather thigh boots, the stocking-boot-style of the Beatles era. I wonder how long her gloves are, but I think they will complement the knee-hugging boots' claves and surround wonderful Jean's sleek elbows. The big picture shows that the glove is at least of 8 button length, the gourmet's minimal size...
Dream at Dior
In 1997, John Galliano designed the pret-a-porter-line for Dior, and he did some outstanding gloves. Here Linda Evangelista comes perfectly gloved. Again, I admire the tight fit of these gloves made of supreme leather quality. Like liquid leather paint, they press around Linda's arms and make bending the elbow some sweet pain experience, I am sure.
