English term or phrase: up for grabs
The designer's intentions quiete obviously were to disrobe and showcase parts of the human anatomy which had never before been "up for grabs" in public. Their constant eroticizing and de-eroticizing portions of the body and their perpetual search for the next erogenous zone to expose screams "design".

Nota: lo de \"de la mano\" tiene un efecto \"grabbing\", es decir, un efecto \"táctil-erótico\". Si tus tiros van por aquí pero ello no te interesa, o si prefieres darle un toque menos táctil a la frase, más neutral, quizás \"al alcance del público\" podría ser suficiente. À toi de jouer! P :-)
