LOS ANGELES—Julie Simone—fetish performer, director and AVN Award winner—is taking another step into the world of fashion, designing a collection of ties.
An Indiegogo.com campaign for the wearable art has already raised more than $1,000 of the $1,500 goal. The campaign continues through Thursday, June 18.
"Since I got the idea to do my T-shirt line a couple years ago, I've been obsessed with the idea of wearable art,” Simone said. “My next venture into this concept is neckties! Ties are an area where one can have a bit of leeway. Fun ties are in and accepted in many workplaces. Cool, edgy ties are good for the nightlife and can be a discreet and subtle indicator of what you're into without saying a word or making anyone feel uncomfortable. They're not just ties, they're a conversation piece!"
The ties feature screenprinted designs taken from Julie's photography and include edgy fetishy designs as well as vanilla designs with cats, dogs, and even binary code. Handpainted ties and a cool spiked tie
are available as well as T-shirts, prints and Julie's photo book, Gagged.
