What influenced the 80s fetish scene, and what gear was common back then?
Weird question, I know, however I'm curious. I'm currently trying to design an original character who is a bouncer at a fetish club in 1989, and while she is asexual herself, adorns fetish gear also.
I've been trying to find more information and images on 80s fashion and fetish gear, because I know very little about the scene at the time and what was influencing the sexualities of folks in the 1980s. Given that the goth scene was huge at the time, I can imagine that spikes and leather would have been popular, but I want to hear other people's thoughts.
If anyone has any information or any sources I can check out, I would greatly appreciate it!
