| TO VIEW THE BOOK'S TRAILER, PLEASE VISIT OUR DRESSING FOR PLEASURE PAGE ON YOUTUBE."Thank you for AtomAge and some very good designs for outfits and especially thanks to reader P.D. who gave me a marvelous idea--tape recording. I have made several tapes of my 'Dressing for Pleasure' and it is quite true what he says about the individual sounds: latex ripples and gives a distinctive elastic 'flick,' trousers swish, gloves hiss up the arms and raincoats rustle. Buckles have a musical sound, while zips chatter. Boots, especially waders, give a lovely sign of welcome as you slide your latexed legs into them. Then there is that lovely final scrape and clunk as you tighten your straps…" A reader's letter, excerpted from Dressing for Pleasure in Rubber, Vinyl & Leather: The Best of Atomage 1972-1980. | NEW & FORTHCOMING Text by Lauren D. Whitley.

| | | Dressing for Pleasure in Rubber, Vinyl & LeatherThe Best of Atomage 1972-1980Edited by Jonny Trunk, Damon Murray, Stephen Sorrell. For early devotees of leather, rubber and vinyl fetish wear, Atomage 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, Atomage 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 Atomage 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, Dressing for Pleasure illustrates not just Sutcliffe's exceptional designs, but also, through their own photography and writings, the fantasies and desires of the Atomage followers.
