Welcome back to FETISHWEEK! As I get better at this I’m finding more and more news, articles, art, reviews and photos to pass on to you. I’ve got two weeks of stories from around the internet and this issue is huge! I couldn’t be happier that I have so much content here, but it underscores the importance of me getting these updates out early and often.
What really strikes me in this issue is the amazing volume of mainstream articles on fetish, leather, latex and BDSM in fashion. We recently had New York Fashion Week and it was packed with fetish designs that I’d expect to see in something like Skin Two magazine instead of in Vogue. The look of fetish culture has clearly infiltrated mainstream fashion. As with everything in fashion, there will be a counter-reaction to this trend, but it’s interesting nonetheless.
