Description

I posted a finished version of a shot from this set here:

Authoritarian fashion has always been a big part of the fetish scene, which I think I've always been a bit thrown by, because I'm generally anti-authoritarian. But, I remember one night when I was watching 'The Spirit' (what a wretched movie!) and had had a couple beers, and was drooling over Scarlett Johansen in that little evil gestapo secretary outfit - I decided I had to do something with authoritarian themes. Then it hit me: 'branding' marketing is a form of authoritarianism and in authoritarian regimes, the regime is the 'brand' if you will. My original idea was to replace the gestapo logotage on the uniform with Nike 'swoosh' logos but I figured that I'd have an army of lawyers camped out on my doorstep the next day. So... Red, black, and white... Then it hit me.

One of the commenters on my finished photo said "the nazi uniforms were designed by a famous designer." So I did a bit of research. Apparently, the SS and Gestapo uniforms were designed by Hugo Boss. During the war, Boss' clothing line was made with slave labor. Today, Boss is a valuable "brand."

I do not approve of any form of fascism.

If I list a model's icon on DA, it'd be kind of you to drop them a tag or a note letting them know you've used them, so they can see!

I am no longer reading all my DA notes and comments they are overwhelming me! Thank you so much for caring, and using my stock, but it would be a full-time job just to keep up with you. If you want to leave a comment on the image, with a link to your work, please do so - I will check comments randomly from time to time.
If you need to get hold of me urgently, Email me (google me to find my Email address)
