AtomAge

AtomAge magazine was a fetish magazine published in Britain by the clothes designer John Sutcliffe in the 1970s as an offshoot of his AtomAge fetish clothing business. The magazine has been called the "underground bible of leather, rubber and vinyl fetish wear throughout the 1970s"[1][2] and documented Britain's S/M scene.[3][4] The first AtomAge clothing catalogue was published in 1965 and it expanded into a magazine in 1972.[5] The magazine ended in 1980.[6]

2010 saw the publication of Dressing For Pleasure, The Best Of AtomAge 1972-1980, a comprehensive hardback book celebrating both the magazine and company.[7][4]
