Types of fetish models

There are multiple categories of fetish models such as: bondage models, latex models, corset models, even wedgie models, tattoo/body piercing models, shoe models, shibari models, and Nyotaimori / food models.

Fetish models are usually considered to be distinct from gothic or alternative models who are usually far more niche specific. Gothic fashion is a clothing style worn by members of the Goth subculture. Fetish models may only involve themselves in the overall aesthetic aspects rather than a specific area such as sexual. Aesthetics or esthetics ( also spelled æsthetics) is commonly known as the study of sensory or sensori-emotional values sometimes called Fetish modeling is usually considered to be a part of the adult industry due to its popular perception as an "adult only" appreciation. Sex industry is the internationalisation of commercial enterprises which supply Sex workers in various capacities However in recent times, many aspects of the fetish fashion market have been incorporated and accepted into so called mainstream fashion whereby fashion creators will directly use exotic fabrics such as latex or sheer instead of cotton or wool for their creations.

Fetish usually relates to anything that can cause an interest or desire on the part of the observer/participant that is not limited to be part of a person. For example, a person who wears boots can be a considered a fetish as it is NOT merely the person that others are interested in per se but the image that the person has while wearing the boots. The same is true of a person who engages in selective bodily appreciation i. e, foot fetish they are attracted specifically not to the entire person but may just be intensely appreciative of that person's feet.

Thus fetish appreciation is very subjective and what stimulates one individual may not interest others if not directly openly repulse another as in more extreme appreciations such as scat.
