The beginning
sex addict will be highly attracted with the essential set attributes like
latex, black leather, metal spikes, all the attributes of fetishism. However these
elements of fetish style are one of the trendy tendencies of the fashion today.
Fetish style turned into the fashion trend from being the isolated so much
unacceptable for those who feel uncomfortable in this fashion. Spring-Summer
2009 that came to the end distinguished with the shocking and outspoken
collections the majority of which have been oriented for the use of fetish
style, from shoes to garments.
The candour
and permissiveness of the new epoch gave the opportunity to all young designers
to experiment with the most unexpected sources of inspiration creating only
provocative works. So, the designer Narciso Rodriguez showed his preferences for
whips, chains and adhesive tape as the things to inspire trying to make the
aggressive fetish style as something much more elegant and sensitive. His dresses
-bandages resembling best works by Herve Leger turned out to be extremely alluring
and only the prints reminded of the adhesive tape used as the fetish style.
The fetish style
so obviously implemented in the summer collection by Givenchy presented
close-fitted outfits and trousers from black leather, with high and tight
over-knee boots; decorative metal spikes and clinches decorating garments. Stefano
Pilati, the creative director of the French Yves Saint Laurent House launched
the series of models in his last collection in leather girdles, tight black
leather trousers and overalls. Plenty of black leather is predominating in Fall
Collections by Balmain, Nina Ricci, Phi, Helmut Lang, and so forth.
The trendy shoes
are another tendency of fetish style. yet, the designers are welcome to try
their most extravagant and weird ideas to express themselves. The fashion brand
of Balmain used large spikes in its models, from booties to sandals. Anna Sui chose
finer details and clasps for her shoes, while Rodarte shoes from black
varnished leather were presented with bulky chains on them. Kenzo decorated
shoes with stripes of leather with metal clinches. Thus, the fetish style in
shoe design was uttered far more aggressive, with all these architecture
structures, high heels and massive platform, spikes and metal details,
varnished leather as ‘must have' seen with Balmain, Hermes, Rodarte, Marc
Jacobs works. The latter showed qualified skills in matching fetsish chic with
vintage style launching high and tight-fitted boots of bright black leather
with light streamline silhouettes of models with vintage prints. Marc Jacob's
collections proved that the key feature in fetish style is the balance and
right measure. Once your ensemble is overloaded with many fetish style
elements, you will look too vulgar, while harmonic match of feminine elements
and aggressive fetish style details can make you a real thing.
Hollywood celebrities were first to appreciate the fetish style that makes people
turn back to your look. Victoria Beckham, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, the trendsetter of
the shocking and a little bit avant-garde style, showed off in leather girdles
in the open public. The other Hollywood stars appeared to be more restrained
when perceiving the fetish style opting for only tight-fitted dresses of fine
leather (Angelina Jolie), black leather leggings, trousers and pants (Lindsay
Lohan, Beyonce). Fetish style elements is the essential part of plenty of photo
sessions in fashion magazines like Vogue, L'Officiel, Numero presenting
collections of leather girdles with garters, high leather boots, high heel
shoes and shoes on platform and closely-fitted dresses showed by Gisele Bundhen,
Katy Perry and Lindsay Lohan.
The leather
lingerie smoothly shifted from sex-shops to fashion boutiques. Tender and seducing
models of Agent Provocateur tried on more aggressive garments with fetish chic
elements, while the British Lingerie Brand Bordelle launched the series of
leather girdles, garters and bra that matched the provocative style with sexual
appeal and sensitiveness. The issue of durability and wear was a little bit
forgotten since fetish style implies creation of open sexuality, provocative
and audacious image ignoring comfort and conveniences of the garments.
