"Valerie Steele, in her study on fetish clothing, points briefly to the goths, punks, and cyberpunks as fashion cultures that borrow the clothing of the fetishist as fashion. The use of fetish clothing as fashion does not necessarily indicate a fetishistic attachment to that fashion, nor does it necessarily indicate an adherence to the sexual practices, such as sadomasochism and bondage and domination, that make use of fetishistic clothing as part of sexual practice."
