{"product_id":"9780956356239","title":"Dressing for Pleasure in Rubber, Vinyl \u0026 Leather","description":"For early devotees of leather, rubber and vinyl fetish wear, \u003ci\u003eAtomage\u003c\/i\u003e magazine was the underground bible of the 1970s. Founded, designed and published by the English designer John Sutcliffe as a platform for his extraordinary talents as a manufacturer of weatherproofs for lady pillion riders, it quickly became a rallying point for explorers of every kind of fledgling clothing scene, functioning as both an instruction manual and a mirror. The experimental clothing showcased in its pages, including items made by the readers themselves, transformed a passion for a sexual proclivity into a cult phenomenon. From motorbiking and mask-wearing, to mudlarking and wading worship, \u003ci\u003eAtomage\u003c\/i\u003e covered every conceivable variant on and use for fetish wear. The amateur photographs reproduced here reflect a golden age of DIY enthusiasm, before fetish became the industry it is today, and inadvertently depict a suburbia from which dressing for pleasure was a necessary escape. The outrageous costumes found in \u003ci\u003eAtomage\u003c\/i\u003e also served as inspiration to a then-new generation of fashion designers such as Vivienne Westwood, and many of these costumes have since been acquired by high-end collections. Compiling the most astonishing imagery from all 32 issues of this now extremely rare and sought after cult magazine, \u003ci\u003eDressing for Pleasure\u003c\/i\u003e illustrates not just Sutcliffe's exceptional designs, but also, through their own photography and writings, the fantasies and desires of the \u003ci\u003eAtomage\u003c\/i\u003e followers.","brand":"FUEL Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47028978909424,"sku":"9780956356239","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780956356239_p0.jpg?v=1763872169","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780956356239","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
