This collection was a work done in Integrated Studio in which I would like to share into the class of Visual Communication. The style is based on fetish fashion easily noticed through the texture of the clothing material of the figures. I emphasized the bright streak of white highlights on the flats to get the feel of vinyl leather--a typical material use during the 1990's fetish fashion trend. The style combines the Catwoman and super-hero aspect with fetish fashion. Sharp corners of the silhouettes mimics the cat's pointy ear aesthetic. I have for a while been studying fetish fashion in pretty much most of my classes, i.e. Integrated Studio, Design Studies, and just now for Visual Communication. I personally have a fetish for fetish fashion as others have fetishes for Christian Liboutin shoes. I enjoy the tight silhouettes of clothing rather than the structural costume-like attires because first, it's sexually appealing; second, it appreciates the silhouette of the natural body, thirdly; they are referred to as the second skin almost feeling as if one is bare naked.
My first impression, before moving to NYC, of New York was this Gotham City world, home belonging to the Catwoman, but it wasn't. As a matter of fact, it was completely the opposite. By bringing out the Catwoman aesthetics, I'd like to teach New York something about the world of Gotham City.
The concept of Catwoman fetish fashion and Gotham City of New York correlates to a collage work I did for 2D first semester of Foundation year. The collage brings out the dark fantasy of New York by combining a forest with textures from the streets of New York, most notably the graffitis.
In every city lies a superhero. What New York needs is some sexy woman in rubber latex to save the day.
