Whip it real good!
ranging from its lack of insight into the politics of consent around BDSM, to its use of carpets. “You’d be hard-pressed to find any dungeon with a shag carpet,” professional dominatrix Mistress Couple toldThese popular misunderstandings make fashion’s embrace of the dominatrix all the more intriguing: rather than poking fun at BDSM gear, or presenting it as simply a costume, this season’s collections have made a case for dominatrix style as something that can be less literal.
Whether it’s appropriate for fashion to co-opt the dominatrix style is a thornier issue. “Women can do whatever they want, and that includes wearing whatever they want if it makes them feel good,” Reba says. “I feel worse about women of colour's style being co-opted, because this is violent.” Fashion paraphrasing the wardrobe of the dominatrix still comes with problems: there might be a sense of synchronicity as this new wave of kink-inspired fashion coincides with a growing conversation around the rights of sex workers, notably the #MakeAllWomenSafe campaign in the UK, but it’s clearly unlikely that fashion is responding to this with any particular insight or nuance. What we wear is political, yes, but fashion doesn’t always grapple with politics sensitively.
On whether the inherently political dynamics of BDSM hitting the runways could lead to any clearing up of popular misconceptions about dominatrixes, however, Reba disagrees. “It does nothing,” she adds. “Once we abolish capitalism, the patriarchy and properly acknowledge and attempt to change how racist the world is, things will change. A Kardashian wearing PVC is a spectacle to distract us from our political and economic constraints.
