From: Kinky Dollars KINK.COM PARTNERS WITH GERMANY'S MARQUIS Legendary German Fetish Brand Now On KinkOnDemand.com SAN FRANCISCO (August 19, 2008) San Francisco's Kink.com launched a new
phase of its KinkOnDemand.com service this week, featuring the site's first
third-party video from legendary fetish photographer, director and entrepreneur
Peter W. Czernich, founder and principal creative force behind German fetish
brand Marquis. Pure White Room, a three-part video directed by Czernich and originally
released on DVD in Europe, features a medical fetish theme with bondage, complex
latex fashion, and the focus on esthetics that has made Marquis the most famous
name in European fetish. The DVD, like most of Czernich's titles, has previously
been unavailable in the US except to devoted collectors, who had to order it
from Europe at great expense. Pure White Room is the first of more than 30
Marquis videos scheduled for release weekly on KinkOnDemand.com through late
2008 and early 2009. “We’ve been fans of Marquis for years,” said Peter Acworth, Kink.com’s
founder and CEO. “When you think of slick high-end fetish with great production
values, Marquis and Peter Czernich are among the first names that come to
mind.” Said Czernich: “Marquis and Kink.com have deep synergies in the fetish
world and we are looking forward to working closely together. We consider
Kink.com one of the leaders in the fetish industry with high quality, dedication
and a phenomenal concept. We're proud to enhance its portfolio with our high-end
fetish movies.” "When we built KinkOnDemand.com, we wanted to offer the very best fetish
material in the world,” said John Sander, Kink.com’s Vice President of Marketing
and Business Development. “Marquis has helped define the face of fetish fashion
and eroticism for 20 years. Many of our customers are very vocal about their
love of latex and other fetishwear and fetish scenarios, and Marquis does that
better than anyone -- it's exactly what those customers have been asking for.
These are premium European videos that have been difficult for fans in North
America to get.” Czernich has been active in the fetish scene for 20 years, beginning in the
late 1980s when he published the German edition of fetish magazine Skin Two and
thereafter founded <O>, the single most influential periodical of the
burgeoning late-'80s and early-'90s German fetish scene. <O> ceased
publication in 1994, after which Czernich founded fetish magazine
Marquis. The Marquis brand has since grown to encompass video production, book
publishing, hugely popular fetish events and a fetish showroom in Solingen,
Germany. A spinoff magazine, Heavy Rubber, was launched in 1997 and continues
today in concert with Marquis. After 10 years as a publisher and entrepreneur, Czernich began taking
photographs, since gaining international acclaim for his highly stylized
photographs of practically every famous fetish model in the world. Says
Czernich: "Eventually, there were so many images in my head that i was not happy
anymore to leave it to the commissioned photographers.” He has since shot
several hundred models and hundreds of thousands of published photos. KinkOnDemand.com, launched this summer, is the on-demand network of San
Francisco BDSM, fetish and alternative sexuality studio Kink.com. Conceived to
let Kink.com customers access videos on a per-shoot rather than a subscription
