ORIGINAL: DesFIP You are also missing the fact that fetish wear originally came from the regular culture. The earliest use of corsets that comes to my mind was the Elizabethan stomacher. By the Victorian times it had evolved from outer wear to inner. And now it's moved back to outer wear again in many forms. I don't know if your local museum has a fashion wing, if so, you might find it informative. True, fetish, as opposed to kink, in many cases revolves around fashion, or particular garments, stockings and hosiery for example, or shoes. Torn fishnets have been popular for years, as has various bit of lingerie worn where you can see them, both connotative of prostitutes, I think it was Madonna who popularized it and made it a "mainstream" look. Anyway, since the fetish revolves around the clothing itself, it's technically "fetishwear", and technically, a kink in and of itself - I think the changing definition of kink is possibly the issue here, when things like anal sex are practically taken for granted, now you've gotta become a pincushion, or wrap your balls in barbed wire to be considered "kinky".
