"   Sienna Miller has been seen sporting them. A version of one came in the front-row gift bag at Sass and Bide. And now Central Saint Martins design student Cynthia Zichy Thyssen is creating ultra-luxe versions of them for her MA collection. What am I talking about? Bondage harnesses. Those in the London fashion sphere have been taking the leather accessories better known for their use in bondage-related activities and wearing them as part of their outfits, layering them under and over various articles of clothing.  Cynthia&amp;#039;s harnesses (see left) will be the epitome of luxury, lined in nubuck and made from stingray skin, hers can also be personalized with accents such as semi-precious stones and jewels. Closures created by silversmiths in Italy are also on the table as design elements.  She says hers are different from other takes in the trend: &amp;quot;Mine are a luxury tool. What we find nowadays are fun, but they don&amp;#039;t speak the aesthetic language I am looking for, and they undervalue power. Sex is an art form. Changing one&amp;#039;s sexual life can change anything.&amp;quot; \u2014Rebecca Suhrawardi Austin Follow ELLE on Twitter. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
