I was absolutely smitten with SYDNEY PARKER’s warm and fuzzy feature story on wool fetishists. These woolies are a world away from hardcore leather daddies or rubberists; instead they are aroused by the soft brush of cashmere or the flick of Angora wool. Not to diminish anyone’s sexual desires, but I found the whole thing completely adorable. I especially loved when she dropped in small details about the fetishist’s outside identity, such as “official in the European Parliament” or “CEO of a company” because it reminds us that everyone’s capable of being a little bit deviant…This conversation between MARJORIE INGALL and MANISHTANA on why they wear the MAGEN DAVID is pretty much the ultimate example of what defines a good FashionREDEF piece for me – a cognizant deep dive into the cultural, historical and political associations of a piece of clothing – in this case, a STAR OF DAVID necklace…Also today THE HAIRPIN tweeted a link to this old favourite article written by MARY HK CHOI and it never fails to elicit a chuckle. Seriously WTF is up with dudes learning how to dress?
