Today in this post we want to talk to you about a spicy combination, that is fetish and fashion! For fetish, first of all, we mean an approach to sexuality characterized especially by a particular type of clothing, frequently made with materials such as leather, PVC, and above all ... latex!
The catwalks often let themselves be wooed by this type of aesthetic, showing collections and dresses that winked at this way of living eros: but a fetish store is not a recent creature, on the contrary, it has well-established bases in the history of fashion and contemporary culture!
Do you want to know what it is? You just have to keep reading the post for immersion in fashion and whips!
Fetish In Today's Fashion
In addition to the characters who have made their signature, in fashion, we have often seen collections made with materials that winked at them or made explicit references to them. The innovation, however, lies in reinterpreting the fetish toys, freeing them from the classic colors such as black, white, and red and revisiting it for example in… Antique pink. So what do a Givenchy and Lady Gaga dress have in common? Simple, latex!
The fetish fashion has had leaders who have been imitated many times by the stars of the day today, but who remain and will always remain unique! The queen of fetish who has given thousands of ideas to fashion, cinema, and television is above all...
The Sexiest Fringe In The World: Bettie Page!
It is practically impossible to disengage the name of Bettie Page from the concepts of fetish, fetish store, and bondage, a practice with which one's partner is immobilized by means of different types of ties (ropes, corsets, stockings ... so on and so forth!).
This is because "the sexiest bangs in the world", as it was defined in Playboy, with its breathtaking curves and its provocative poses, has given popularity to the fetish toys by being portrayed very often as a mistress, with vertiginous stiletto heels, armed with handcuffs or whips.
However, the fetish world suggested by Bettie Page has always been permeated with fun given that, despite the icy gaze and raven hair, Bettie has characterized her modeling career with the game, being ironic and self- deprecating and playing down even the most potentially sensual scenarios.
Bettie Page is still a legend, and there are many women of the star system who have taken inspiration, first of all, Dita Von Teese, Katy Perry but also Madonna, who is a chameleon, during her career she has not spared herself from sporting the same iconic black bangs.
Helmut Newton's Fetish Chic
The very famous photographer Helmut Newton has, in turn, contributed to making fetish stores known even to those who are not a lover of the genre: this is because, starting from the 70s, he has published a series of photographs featuring many elements of this subculture, starting from the famous Vogue magazine.
In this way, Helmut Newton's work made leashes, long gloves and leather and latex clothes mainstream, but inserted into what were the fetishisms of the photographer himself, or elements from which his art often could not separate: cameras of hotel, symbolism and the inevitable feminine figure.
The women in Helmut Newton's fetish photographs (or, as they were defined at the time, porno-chic ) are icy, almost robotic, and haughty, a symbol of the revolution that the photographer brought to fashion photography, an echo of the sexual revolution born of the '69.
In fact, Helmut Newton does not portray passive women, a pure object of male desire, but dominant women who, while undressing by choosing to do so, maintain emancipation and respect.
