Learn about the Dominatrix style and how to wear it

A style that is giving something to talk about right now is the Dominatrix. That one inspired by Catwoman, leather garments, high boots, high heels, lingerie pieces, lace, corsets, and stockings, among others. Combined, they give us this trend already seen on the catwalks of recent fashion weeks. And is projected to be next fall’s must-have.

 

This type of clothing and trend has its origin between the 20s and 30s of the 20th century. And it is strongly related to the fetish business and other kinds of practices. As well as to satisfy a demand for that image of women in magazines and other publications, which was very popular during that period.

 

This style has become a way of dressing and wearing garments adapted to the current herringbone. Now combined with other pieces, perhaps even basic, to break with the pure dominatrix pattern, give a softer look, and not harden the image so much.

 

The dominatrix style in the fashion world 

 

As we indicated, since last February, in which the fashion week was held, we could see the garments shown by Versace in rigorous black, as well as Dolce & Gabanna and Balmain. Causing an impact on the MET Gala recently held in May, where we saw Bella Hadid wearing a Burberry design. She combined lace with a leather corset and a burlesque-style ensemble with visible lingerie for Dilara Findikoglu’s after-party.

 

Also, at the recent celebration of the Billboard awards, we saw Dua Lipa and Rosalia wearing this style. This lets us know that after two years in which comfortable clothes were the ones that dominated the fashion landscape and clothing, clearly, we want to return to elaborate outfits that require a lot of work.

 

Dominatrix Trend

 

This trend seeks, in its return, to experiment beyond comfort. Play with the sensuality of the female body and fashion, transforming them and reinventing this style.

 

This look was associated with the Goddess Inanna of Mesopotamia and has evolved being its heyday in the Victorian era. Associating itself with some types of aesthetics and has even returned with specific futuristic influences.

 

So, it is stated that every time this style is imposed in the arena, it comes with modifications and additions that transform it and adapt it to the present.
