The designers. -------------- Jean-Paul Gaultier Allison Thurman <athurman@phoenix.cs.uga.edu> writes: French designer, considered to be the "bad boy" of Paris fashion. He's best known for designing Madonna's "bullet-cone" corsets for her videos and Blonde Ambition tour, and for designing similar clothes for the movie "The Cook, the Theif, his Wife, and her Lover". Vivienne Westwood Allison Thurman <athurman@phoenix.cs.uga.edu> writes: English designer who created the PVC and rubber "punk" look at her shop, Sex, in the 1970's, and one of the first women to use lingerie as outerwear. Pam Hogg Allison Thurman <athurman@phoenix.cs.uga.edu> writes: I dont know much about her work but ive read in some English magazines that some of her clothing is PVC. Lip Service, Inc. Allison Thurman <athurman@phoenix.cs.uga.edu> writes: A Los Angeles label that (if its still in business) does lots of lycra-spandex wear, usually with lacing and/or little daggers on it. I've not seen much of the mens wear, but the womens is moslty leggings and minidresses. 2. The models. ----------- Anette Kellendonk: Born 1965 in Wuppertal near Dsseldorf, Germany. She's 1.70 m (5'6") high (without heels!) and weighs around 50 kg (112 lbs). She used to work closely with Peter W. Czernich, publisher of "Skin Two, Deutsche Ausgabe" then <<O>> , as photographer but now works with several others. Her pictures has been in Playboy, Bild and in particular in early issues of <<O>> . She released a techno-dance maxi-single entitled "The Fetish" in 1991. The video for this song have been shown on MTV and in it she shows a wide selection of her PVC and latex wardrobe... About this maxi-single, Ido Amin writes: The label is BOO RECORDS. I have "The Fetish" on BOO 00512 (12") and on its cover it mentions it's also available on BOO 00507 (7"), BOO 00515 (12"PD), BOO 00505 (5"CD). On the cover it also says GEMA LC 6559. Distributor is Discovery, Pf 1255, 4044 Kaarst., Germany, which is also A.K.'s fanclub. Quality? Not rec.music.materpieces stuff, being two years old, and not up to current MTV or dance standards. I kinda like it anyway. Has now begun a career as a fetish fashion designer with a shop appropriately named ' Anette K. Fashion ' in Dusseldorf, Germany. Info on other models much appreciated! 3. The photographers. ------------------ Peter W. Czernich: Very active. Has worked primarily with Anette K. but now works mostly with varying models.
