In 1979, Mistress Antoinette introduced her line of PVC clothing to the world in the form of her Orange County boutique, Versatile Fashions. She made custom PVC corsets that any femdom would be proud to wear. Along with her husband, Master Zorro, Mistress Antoinette began publishing Reflections Magazine (An Adult Magazine for B&D Devotees), releasing bondage and domination-themed VHS tapes, and eventually launched the Dressed to Thrill balls in Las Vegas, where she showcased her custom fashions and let the freaks run wild. She was a mentor to women like Dita Von Teese and Annie Sprinkle, and she brought a taste of the kink life into the mainstream with her corset line for Victoria’s Secret.
Today, Versatile Fashions is still making corsets and is now located in Portland, OR, although sadly its founder Mistress Antoinette passed away this year.
To pay tribute to her influence on femdom and BDSM, I’ve collected some amazing vintage covers from her magazine, Reflections. You can read a full 1981 issue right below, and check out a gallery of 80s and 90s femdom mastery below that…
