Although a practitioner of BDSM for years prior, Arcane's education in the world of public BDSM parties and clubs began in the European scene, where the fetish attire is taken very seriously. It's no wonder then where Arcane developed his passion for the pursuit of fetish fashion and decorum for the fetish scene in the United States.
Arcane recalls on the Iniquity Website which he founded and currently manages:
Under the single umbrella term, "the fetish scene", the S&M danced intimately with the best in fetish fashion -- the two were practically inseparable. The Fetish Scene was intense, it was sexy beyond belief, it was hardcore, and it was so incredibly fashionable!
People from all walks of life mingled together at these Fetish Events, from cafe workers to television producers, from students to millionaires. No one looked any further than your appearance and your personal fetish, and everyone was equal in the fulfillment of their fetish.
A Spanish dominatrix with homes in three countries would joyously fulfill the desires of a young American masochist who otherwise lived in a squat. A top fashion designer would trade fetish tales with a computer technician, both of them standing in head to toe rubber and oblivious to vanilla conceptions of mixing with people "from the same walk of life".
These were the parties of our dreams, where concerns of race, class, social standing and gender were completely subverted in these glorious celebrations of everyone's common bond -- fetishism. No one stood aside as some obviously vanilla gawker. It was an environment of fulfillment and fantasy.
