5 Top British Fetish Designers

Be one step ahead by checking out these 5 UK based fetish companies…

Top 5 Fetish Designers:

1. Atsuko Kudo

The Dior of the fetish world, Atsuko Kudo make beautiful custom made and off the peg latex. Their screen printed lace detail outfits and couture style cuts give their elegant designs an edge above many of the other fetish wear companies.

Atsuko Kudo can be spotted on the High Street in MAC’s ‘Hello Kitty’ range. Log onto www.atsukokudo.com or visit ‘Showgirls’ on Holloway Road, London.

2. Jane Doe Latex

Jane Doe have come a long way from their small E-bay shop selling basic latex skirts and tops. Since creating a high fashion couture range, they are now one of the biggest UK names in latex, with their designs gracing the pages of Bizarre magazine and appearing in numerous catwalk in photoshoots and live performances by The Fuel Girls.
