Description
Fetish: Fashion, Sex & Power by Valerie Steele explores the complex relationship between clothing and identity. For over thirty years, the iconography of sexual fetishism has been increasingly assimilated into popular culture, influencing fashion and street styles. From kink to couture, Steele examines the historical connection between fashion and fetishism, drawing on evidence from pornography, psychology, and history, as well as interviews with individuals involved in sexual fetishism. This book sheds light on the ways in which clothing can reflect and shape our understanding of ourselves and others. By marshalling a wide range of sources, Steele provides a nuanced analysis of the cultural construction of sexuality and its relationship to fashion.
