SCANDAL is the word on everyone's lips at the moment. From the sensational demise of The News Of The World to the boob-flashing pop-bomb that is Lady Gaga - there is no better time to be bad. And designers from Paris to Milan and of course the down right dirty of London and New York would be nothing without the bad ass fashion trend of fetish.
The model world's go-to bad girl, Kate Moss, got the ball rolling by strutting the catwalks in a black Louis Vuitton ensemble that had more than a hint of dominatrix to it. And if you were in any doubt that this fashion trend is about being sexy and provocative, Kate's darkly kohl'd eyes, knee-high laced boots, and smoldering cigarette helped ram the point home.
Also flirting with fetish are designers Marc Jacobs and Holly Fulton, who've been tinkering with elements of rubber, straps and body-con in their latest works. And this dark eroticism was also apparent in that hotbed of passion and lust, Paris, where our own Alexander McQueen debuted his take on the fetish fashion trend by parading snow queens bound in corsetry and bondage straps.
Lady Gaga has clearly been an inspiration for this fetishistic trend, though the look is more S&M-themed Agent Provocateur in its understated sexiness than it is Ann Summers. It's all about daring to be sexy, not vulgar. Not every occasion is suitable for this type of style though, this is more of a night out dancing with the girls type of style rather than an important meeting with your boss or dinner with the parents. Keep that in mind and you are safe.
This fashion trend is about power dressing - celebrating sex and going with it. It's a turn away from the frivolity of 1970s fashion of summer fashion trends and turning to an all the-more darker side of lifedon't be scared to get sexy this autumn. Just remember to keep warm!
