Arca is no stranger to high fashion, fetish gear, or, of course, music. And now, as Pitchfork points out, the Venezuelan experimental producer has combined all of his passions in a new collaborative line of "Tormenta" products for fashion retailer SSENSE, Prada, and luxury leather brand Fleet Ilya. The centerpiece of the collection? A pair of $6450 headphones that come as part of a BDSM-inspired leather cage head piece that completely encases the wearer's head.
"hey i designed some headphones it's casual they’re really cheap pick up a pair or don’t or whatever," Arca wrote on Instagram. "either way i’m locking you into the sound 💋." The collection also includes $995 leather cuff bracelets with a chain strap and working padlocks, a $770 fanny pack, a $445 Tormenta t-shirt, and more.
A couple of weeks ago, Arca celebrated the launch of SSENSE's new flagship location in Montreal by taking over three floors of the store for a special site-specific performance and installation featuring new material. Check out photos of the Tormenta headphones and performance below.
