'I wanted the video to feel a bit unpalatable and seedy - like a crappy old VCR that's been found and put on YouTube. Very dodgy and amateur.'
Today SHOWstudio is thrilled to unveil a new Fashion Fetish film by Lily Donaldson. The model was not content to limit her offering to bondage, bums and breasts - the usual fashion-does-fetish stomping grounds - instead choosing to champion a more unusual erotic group, the 'furries'. For those innocent souls who haven't stumbled across this particular perversion, 'furries' refers to individuals who have sexual fascinations with cuddly anthropomorphic animals. Some committed enthusiasts even cultivate special animal personalities, or 'fursonas' as they call them (I kid you not).
'I realised it might be interesting (and fun) to explore something that I didn't immediately relate to or understand within a sexual context,' says Lily. 'I understand the eroticism of a fetish such as bondage but furry soft toys as eroticism is such a bizarre idea.'
Lily's own 'fursona' is part cuddly cat part lingerie-sporting pin-up. Watch Tiger-Lily in action now!

Before flying in to London for her Olympic Closing Ceremony performance, British supermodel, Lily Donaldson, took time out in Los Angeles to shoot a short film for Nick Knight's SHOWstudio on the theme of 'Fashion Fetish' - an ongoing project which has already featured performances from Liberty Ross, Daphne Guinness and Dash Zhukova among others.
Conceived by Lily, and starring the lady herself, dressed in lingerie, stockings, stilettos and a giant furry tiger's head, 'Fashion Fetish' is a nod to fetishists who like nothing more than to indulge in a bit of animal-based fancy dress to get their jollies.
The film has a voyeuristic vibe thanks to being shot on a mobile phone.
"I wanted the video to feel a bit unpalatable and seedy", Lily explains, "like a crappy old VCR that's been found and put on YouTube. Very dodgy and amateur."
She got her wish, though Fashion Fetish does manage to remain on the right side of unsettling thanks to Lily's cartoonish headdress and occasional comedy poses. Enjoy…
