LOS ANGELES—Iconic guitarist Dave Navarro recently teamed up with The Stockroom to create a signature line of exclusive products. The collection begins with The Strap, a unique guitar strap design. It combines the functionality of a guitar strap, BDSM restraints, a wearable belt, and locking collar. It covers the aspects of fashion, function, and attitude for live performance. More products will be announced for release in 2015 and 2016.
Navarro has always had an affinity for fashion and style born from the fetish underground. The Dave Navarro Line by The Stockroom is the iconic guitarist’s official debut into fashion design. Last year, 2014, marked the 25th Anniversary of both The Stockroom Inc. and the album Nothing’s Shocking from Jane’s Addiction, so the timing was perfect for yet another meeting of the worlds of rock ’n’ roll, fashion and fetish.
“When The Stockroom first approached me to do a signature line I was truly honored," said Navarro. "I have been a customer and a fan of the company for years. Fetish lifestyle and fashion have inspired me since the early days of Jane's Addiction and the community will forever have a special place in my life. I worked very closely with the team at The Stockroom and have come up with a few pieces that marry both aspects that are important to me, customer aesthetic and use-ability.”
The Strap is available for immediate sale, and the remainder of the product line is set to officially debut later this year. Included in the line will be Dave Navarro’s infamous custom-made black latex performance pants, dubbed Dave Navarro’s Black Latex Jeans. Dave’s Jeans feature a 2-inch lower waistline and more slim-fitted legs than other men’s pants from The Stockroom’s latex brand Syren Couture. A fit and silhouette that Dave has custom-ordered for years. Striking black latex Blazers will also be offered in three designs.
Additionally, the line will include Black Gloves with heavy steel zippers, and Leather Gauntlets. All five pieces in the collection are made by hand by the artisan staff at The Stockroom’s Los Angeles facility on W Sunset Boulevard in Silverlake and were designed with Dave. Dave wears all pieces of the line regularly, and with pride. The Dave Navarro Line by The Stockroom is available at stockroom.com.
