This is a disappointing book. With Valerie Steele's credentials as a fashion commentator and an academic, you might well suppose that the book would examine the influences of the fetish world on everyday fashion. Sadly, there is very little here in the way of analysis or examination. Steele seems to have no great arguments or theories and the book presents nothing in the way of a case to explain anything much. The author has clearly done an awful lot of homework, and read widely around the subject, as the impressive notes and bibliography demonstrate. But quotes from other authors are trotted out, not in the defence of any argument on her part, but almost gratuitously.The book is divided into some promising chapters, asking, What is Fetish? (which turns out to be deeply dull) and then looking at various clothing fetishes, from corsets to shoes, to underwear and second skin (leather and rubber). Sadly, these chapters devote much time to quotes from contributors to old fetish magazines, which are purely anecdotal and not remotely interesting. There are no original interviews with some of the designers who have worked in this fashion area, such as Thierry Mugler, Versace, Gaultier et al, to probe what their real motivations have been. And there is little attempt to try to dig beneath the surface to find out why some of these fashion ideas have been adopted by the mainstream. Steele tells us that leather and rubber have become widely accepted as everyday wear, but no answer is forthcoming as to why this should be the case. The chapters end abruptly, as if having produced the requisite number or words, it is time to move on to something else.Her most interesting insight, appearing at the beginning of the book, is to see fetishism as a continuum, probably shared in some respect by most people at one end, and evolving into full-on fetishism where the object replaces the human at the other. However, having postulated this, the book does nothing to argue this idea, and she concentrates on the extreme levels of fetishism, which have nothing to do with mainstream fashion. There are a few attempts at psychoanalysis, borrowed from other commentators, but these are mostly of a Freudian nature and seem hugely simplistic and out of date. Is the population really entirely traumatised by a castration complex?So what you get is a lot of anecdote about fetishism, and not much about sex, power and fashion - certainly not anything that looks like a viewpoint. It is very hard, having finished the book to see what the reader has actually learned and how Steele has contributed to the debate, such as it is. It reads very much as a lost opportunity to do some real examination of the subject.Finally it should be mentioned that the photos are very poor. They have been printed on some arty corrugated paper and then scanned in. The results are extremely murky black and white reproductions. They pepper the text, but often serve as gratuitous illustrations, perhaps to reduce word count, which in many cases do nothing to elucidate. The book was published pretty much in the pre-internet era, so that readers can now find far better illustrations with the minimum of googling. It's a pity, as the choice of photos is quite good, but in this quality, they do nothing much to enhance the work.

The book does demonstrate the influence the Fetish scene had on mainstream designers. One criticism is that the author mentions Freud in this book, which she admits, his theories are not accepted among psychologists today. Then later she goes on to rely on these same unaccepted Freudian theories to concoct her own views to explain male fetish behavior, and its relationship to clothing. Also I can't fully accept the notion that Fetishism is uniquely male. The existence of magazines such as Playgirl, is an obvious example, to the contrary. I won't go so far as to cite examples here, but there are Females with fetish tendencies and life styles, some of which share their experiences with their husbands or boyfriends, or even girlfriends. Magazines such as Skin Two, or O, publish photo articles which show Fetish Parties as they are called, where this kind of behavior can be seen. The study that the author cites in defense of her notion, was obviously not conducted among male and females that participate in the Fetish life style, but among the mainstream population, where such Fetish lifestyles are far less common and far out of the ordinary. Women may experience and express fetishism in different ways then men do, but that does not mean Fetishism does not exist among the Female population.

Nice introduction to the world of fetishm. The other review claims that the book is utter non-sense, some quasi-analytucal mumbo jumbo. I do not share this view as in my opinion the book does not really touch the topic deep enough. However, for anyone interested in learning about the world of fetishm, this is a really helpful intro.
