Throughout the fashion industry, fashion designers have to some extent been influenced by the fetishism and the erotic. But why?
The idea of restriction and bondage dates back to 19th century Gothic fashion. This style concentrated on the idea of subtly revealing hidden fantasies, desires and personas through the concealment and manipulation of the body through veils, corsets and masks.
This idea of restriction has been subtly incorporated within contemporary fashion through modern corset designs, body suits and garments incorporating straps and chains in black leather, PVC and lace.
