“The inspiration for the collection started with stories from Japanese folklore, it spread then to demons and legends, hence the outfits’ names.”
“There is a dark and magic side to the latex material that suits those imaginary creatures and I felt would suit our clientele as well. I loved especially the tale of Jorogumo, the spider that can change its appearance into that of a seductive woman. I wanted to experiment with capes and shapes that would suit the witch-woman I had in mind. All of it in latex rubber, naturally, and suitable for party.” says Florence Druart of Torture Garden Clothing.
JOROGUMO is an Exclusive Torture Garden Clothing Collection by Florence Druart for House of Harlot and it is available right now online or from House of Harlot’s atelier just off London’s Brick Lane.
