Black on black is sexy unless . . .

Is this a new twist for leather accessories from Hervé Léger by Max Azria?  We appreciate the flow and texture to the outfit with the leather jacket, skirt and  boots.  In fact, black looks ever so chic and sexy in this combination jacket with harness cummerbund, multi textured skirt and open back high heel boots:

When the harness is black on black or a same color accessory it adds to the movement in the outfit – however it’s a little harder for us to get around the leather accessories in the outfit below with the dark light contrast.  The harness mixed with the dress gives off a faintly Roman soldier look with a flowing tonic underneath some body armor – however is just a “hint” of a being strapped up like a dog … or worse.
