Over dit product

Product Information

The word fetishism evokes images of 'kinky' sex, involving an abnormal attraction to certain articles of clothing, such as black leather boots, or body parts, like legs and buttocks. Yet the fetish is in fashion - on the catwalks and in the streets. Leather gear, body piercing, second-skin rubber, even the corset, are back; no longer restricted to sexual subcultures but worn by 'club kids' and socialites alike. While fetishism has traditionally been regarded by pyschologists as a 'perversion', modern fashion has increasingly embraced characteristic fetish-items such as the spiked high-heel shoe.Fetish: Fashion, Sex, and Power is a historically-grounded study of the relationship between fashion and fetishism. Treating fashion as a symbolic system linked to the expression of sexuality, Steele marshals a dazzling array of evidence from pornography, psychology, and historical literature to illuminate this relationship. Is it fashion or fetish when fashion magazines feature the straps and stilettos of the dominatrix? What of body piercing, either ear rings or those worn through genitals? Is the corset, whether worn by men or women a 'style' or a 'perversion'.Steele brilliantly charts the boundaries of the 'normal' and the 'perverse', and shows how even the most bizarre-seeming clothing fetishes enable their wearers (male and female, gay and straight) to use clothing to express their social and sexual identities.

Reviews
"This is an excellent overview of the history of fetish clothing from the perspective of fashion culture. Steele is often witty and entertaining, and she manages to integrate a diverse set of discourses: 'the postmodern, the politicized, the psychiatric, the popular and the, pornographic,'into a thoughtful and balanced book."Archives of Sexual Behaviour, "Fashion historian Valerie Steele charts an enlightened, occasionally startling, course through the significant subjects of fetishism, sexuality, and apparel.... Her approach is never judgmental or aloof: she realizes that clothing is an intimate identity and self-expression.... As conversantwith mainstream fashion as with the extreme behaviors of fetish devotion, Steele contributes an anthropological integrity to fashion and a logical consequence to our culturally variable body identities. She makes a compelling case for fashion's importance to culture and for fashion's ability toincorporate the needs of minority populations and individuals' interests. Steele has, once again, written a--no pun intended--masterful study, affiliating fashion with the supreme power of the body."--Richard Martin, Curator, The Costume Institute, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, "Steele's greatest strengths here are her flexible perspective and her deft negotiation of various theoretical perspectives.... A thought-provoking overview of the relationship between sex and clothing."--Publishers Weekly"Valerie Steele is to kinky dressing what Anne Rice is to vampires: an interpreter of desires beyond our ken. She deals in riveting stuff: the way the culture talks dirty--most of the time without even noticing--through clothes."--Christa Worthington, Elle"In elegant prose Valerie Steele explores the ambiguous region of fetish dressing, where perverse sex meets high fashion. Her analysis of the gendered meanings of fetish garments is both witty and profound, as she explores the sexual fantasies played out in dress, and the ambivalence with which we regard them today as the boundary between the 'normal' and the 'perverse' seems, she suggests, to be disappearing."--Elizabeth Wilson, Professor of Social Sciences,Polytechnic of North London and author of Adorned in Dreams: Fashion and Modernity"Fashion historian Valerie Steele charts an enlightened, occasionally startling, course through the significant subjects of fetishism, sexuality, and apparel....Her approach is never judgmental or aloof: she realizes that clothing is an intimate identity and self-expression....
