3 of 3

Cotton twill bondage trousers in a black, blue, grey and white college stripe. In true bondage style, they feature an extended concealed zip that runs all the way from just below the waistband on the front to below the waistband at the back. They have slanted front pockets and two back patch pockets and D ring tabs in the side seams. The grown on waistband features seven belt loops and is secured with a gold orb jeans button. There are buckled straps around both knees that connect both legs and are held in place with loops sewn onto the front and back of the knees. They have zips sewn into the back legs, one at the hem and one along the thigh to allow the size of the legs to be adjustable to create a narrow silhouette. The trousers are half lined in pale pink acetate at the front of the leg to the knee. Part of a selection of suits that Vivienne Westwood made for iconic hairstylist Sam McKnight from women's fabrics selected by McKnight, who worked with Westwood in the early 1990s before the launch of Westwood's MAN collections in 1996. The suit was last worn by Sam McKnight at Kate Moss's thirtieth birthday party at Claridges in 2004.
