The fetish, kink and LGBTQ+ leather movements have been a powerful cultural undercurrent for decades. Today, latex, leather and vac beds are as fashionable as ever, as seen in photo shoots starring Julia Fox and on the catwalks of Balenciaga. However, there is no aesthetic without those who live and breathe this lifestyle but rarely get the credit: underground artists, the leather community and sex workers.
