The History of Eccentric Fashion

The "father of the English leather- and vinyl-fashion-scene" John Sutcliffe suggested the opening of a fetish firm on the continent. This was 1965! and the beginning of Heinz and Annemarie opening a small business under the trade name"Eccentric Fashion". It was the very first firm for latex, leather, vinyl and plastic fashions in Switzerland.

During this time we imported garments mainly from John Sutcliffe and Brian Reed from England and sold these items in Switzerland, Germany, Austria, France, Belgium and Holland. Later we added shoes and boots, as well as leather items and magazines to the range.  

From 1965 until 1974 we ran the business as a part-time operation and from 1974 as a full-time operation. 

Since 1983 we have added the supply of fashion-videos in latex, leather, vinyl and plastic from our own video studio. These are mainly video reports from our fashion shows and some "play" videos based on the fashion theme.

Eccentric Fashion has always been in the same hands: Annemarie advises and looks after the clients in the show-room and Heinz is responsible for the organization, officework and delivery of the goods.

"Eccentric-Fashion-Weekend" is a magic word for a lot of friends for fetish fashion in latex, leather, vinyl and plastic. Since 1971 we have organized frequent events for the scene. First we started in a little wooden house in the middle of a forest. Today we rent a large four-star-hotel and organize an event over three days. 

2009 we have organized the 44th event! The Eccentric-Fashion-Weekends are completely different to other fetish events. Not too crowded with youngsters, no loud artificial compressor sound, no junk food - but pleasant accomodation with restaurant, bar, indoor-swimming pool, private hotel gardens and so on, with only guests in the hotel from Eccentric Fashion, excellent food, interesting people - indeed, some guests from Germany say:

The Eccentric-Fashion-Weekend is the opera-ball for the fashion scene in latex-leather-vinyl!

Eccentric Fashion organize 2010 the 45th jubilee-weekend and fashion-show and the 25th time in the same hotel in the Bernese highlands.
