Posted bi-weekly (on the 8th and 22nd) in
alt.sex.fetish.fashion, alt.answers and news.answers
- or when significant updates require it.

Your input is *very* welcome!
Send suggestions, additions, updates and corrections
to me and it'll be included in this document.
The contents of this document is a compilation
and paraphrasing by me of the information supplied by
the readers of this newsgroup.
====================
The latest version of this FAQ is (along with countless others) available
by anonymous ftp from rtfm.mit.edu [18.181.0.24] in the directory
/pub/usenet/news.answers/alt-sex/fetish-fashion - where the parts will
simply be titled part1, part2, part3 and so on - or in the directory
/pub/usenet/alt.sex.fetish.fashion, where the parts will be titled:
FAQ-Part1, FAQ-Part2, ... FAQ-Part9.
You can obtain it by E-mail as well if you have no ftp access, by sending
an E-mail message to: mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu containing the single
word 'help' (without quotes) in the message body to receive instructions.
Alternatively you can request it by E-mail from me by sending me
(pg@login.dknet.dk) an E-mail message with a subject containing the words
'faq-request' (the message body will be ignored). An automatic reply demon
will then send you the complete FAQ in return to the sender address.
Use a 'Reply-To' header if you want the FAQ sent to another address than
the one the request was sent from, as this takes precedence over the
'From' header (RFC-822). Please do not include messages to me in the
message body of your request as I'll never see the contents of messages
processed by the reply demon.
You can also view it (and *many* other FAQs) via WWW using the URL:
http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/hypertext/faq/usenet/FAQ-List.html
and proceed through "Alt Sex" and then on to "Fetish Fashion".
====================
Dedicated to the late Thorkild Borup of Avantgarde (She-An-Me),
Copenhagen, who made me aware of the fetish fashion world.

EDITORIAL.
This document was originally written by Per Goetterup, but has
been expanded again and again with the interesting stuff surfacing in
the newsgroup - and stuff mailed to me directly - all edited and still
maintained by Per Goetterup.
I will add all material posted in alt.sex.fetish.fashion or
related newsgroups that I feel has a general relevance for new users or
which is simply interesting, and I'll naturally add a note as to who
wrote it. If you do *not* want your name in the FAQ (for whatever
reason) when posting to the newsgroup then you must add a note to this
effect to every article you post, or contact me directly by E-mail.
I will also add stuff mailed to me directly, and as I'm often
unable to verify the correctness of the supplied information, I'll add
it and rely on *you* for verification. If you mail me stuff, I'll not
always write a 'thank you' note in return as I'm often busy doing other
things than just maintaining this document. This doesn't mean that I'm
not grateful! - I am! - Very! - I'm just very busy and don't have the
time to write these notes.
You are always welcome to ask me to remove your name from the FAQ,
or to use a pseudonym or an anonymous id instead. I respect and comply
to such wishes, but I will not consent to remove the information itself
unless it is invalid, incorrect, outdated or similar.

4. THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE FASHIONS.
4.1 The designers.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jean-Paul Gaultier French designer, considered to be the "bad boy"
of Paris fashion. He's best known for designing
Madonna's "bullet-cone" corsets for her videos
and Blonde Ambition tour, and for designing
similar clothes for the movie _The Cook, the
Theif, his Wife, and her Lover_.
From: Allison Thurman <athurman@phoenix.cs.uga.edu>
Vivienne Westwood English designer who created the PVC and rubber
"punk" look at her shop, Sex, in the 1970's,
and one of the first women to use lingerie as
outerwear.
From: Allison Thurman <athurman@phoenix.cs.uga.edu>
Pam Hogg I dont know much about her work but ive read in
some English magazines that some of her cloth-
ing is PVC.
From: Allison Thurman <athurman@phoenix.cs.uga.edu>
Lip Service, Inc. A Los Angeles label that (if its still in busi-
ness) does lots of lycra-spandex wear, usually
with lacing and/or little daggers on it. I've
not seen much of the mens wear, but the womens
is moslty leggings and minidresses.
From: Allison Thurman <athurman@phoenix.cs.uga.edu>
4.2 The models.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Anette Kellendonk: Born 1965 in Wuppertal near Dusseldorf,
Germany. She's 1.70 m high (without heels!) and
weighs around 50 kg. Used to work closely with
Peter W. Czernich as photographer but now works
with several others. Her pictures has been in
Playboy, Bild and in particular in early issues
of <<O>>.
She released a techno-dance maxi-single enti-
tled "The Fetish" in 1991. Ido Amin writes: The
label is BOO RECORDS. I have "The Fetish" on
BOO 00512 (12") and on its cover it mentions
it's also available on BOO 00507 (7"), BOO
00515 (12"PD), BOO 00505 (5"CD). On the cover
it also says GEMA LC 6559. Distributor is Dis-
covery, Pf 1255, 4044 Kaarst., Germany, which
is also A.K.'s fanclub.
Quality? Not rec.music.materpieces stuff, being
two years old, and not up to current MTV or
dance standards. I kinda like it anyway.
Has now begun a career as designer with a shop
appropriately named 'Anette K. Fashion' in
Dusseldorf, Germany (see details elsewhere).
Info on other models much appreciated!
4.3 The photographers.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Peter W. Czernich: Very active. Has worked primarily with Anette
K. but now works mostly with varying models.
He's the editor and publisher of <<O>>.
Trevor Watson: British photographer who works primarily with
black & white photography. Among his best works
are the series he made for Ectomorph.
4.4 Advocacy groups.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
These are organizations or groups of equal minded people who work
actively to communicate our interest and way of living to the rest of the
society, fighting for it in court or on the battlefield of the media if
nessesary.
National Leather Association.
They promote the "leather lifestyle", which includes DFP
and some BDSM. It is the only sort of U.S. Nationwide advocacy
group, so it is important for people in the US to know about it.
