Wasteland is Europe’s biggest fetish event held twice a year in Amsterdam, as well as an additional yearly party in Berlin. The event first began in 1994 with the aim to introduce fetish culture to a wider audience. Visitors and party goers must adhere to a fetish-only dress code that is checked at the door, and can then enjoy DJs, fetish performances, as well as fetish couture shows. Fashion designer Jivomir Domoustchiev was invited to show his latest collection of handcrafted PVC pieces and accessories at the most recent animal-themed Wasteland event in Amsterdam. Domoustchiev’s friend and photographer Coral Garvey captured the buzz backstage.
