Fetish Style
Frenchy Lunning
• Situates
contemporary
fetish style
within the longer
history of the
phenomenon
• Offers a cross
cultural
perspective on
fetish fashion
for students and scholars of fashion
and dress, as well as anthropology,
sociology and cultural studies
Fetish Style traces the history, forms
and tendencies of sub-cultural fashions
that are popular in both mainstream and
fashion cultures. Presenting the world
of subcultural fetish clothing design for
its richness and beauty, the book also
explores notions of fetish as subversive
or repressive through an examination of
the ways in which fashion, itself based on
the fetishization of clothing and clothing
attitudes, in fact calls forth fetishistic
behaviour in all people of all ages and
cultures.
