The rubber is made by 4-D, Derbyshire. Rubber has long
been used for functional purposes and has had fetishistic
clothing associations, but in recent years it has been
adopted as fashionable street and club wear. These
hotpants reflect the current fashion for 1970s revival
styles and sportswear, translated into rubber. |
