John Sutcliffe (designer)
John Sutcliffe (died 1987) was a British fetish clothing designer and publisher of the fetish magazine '' AtomAge''. In the 1950s he was divorced because his feelings about leather had led to him being diagnosed as mentally ill and treatment failed to change him. He began his AtomAge fetish clothing business in 1957, registering it as a “manufacturer of weatherproofs for lady pillion riders”. He was an influence on the leather catsuits worn by Emma Peel in '' The Avengers'', and created the leather catsuit worn by Marianne Faithfull in the 1968 film '' The Girl on a Motorcycle''. Sutcliffe published '' AtomAge'' magazine, a fetish magazine that was an offshoot of his fetish clothing business. The magazine has been called the "underground bible of leather, rubber and vinyl fetish wear throughout the 1970s" and documented Britain's S/M scene. The first AtomAge clothing catalogue was published in 1965 and it expanded into a magazine in 1972. The magazine ended in 1980 ...
