Kai
Judge
Leather & Fetish Milano (LFM) // Italian Fetishman of the Year 2025
Hello, my name is Kai, and I was born and lived the bigger part of my life in the North of Italy. Back in 2011 I moved to Vienna, where I discovered several things about myself – for example that I’m into leather and rubber – and where I also made my first fetish experiences at the LMC Vienna. There and at events like Folsom I got to know several Italian fetishists, that by now I also call my friends.
In an attempt to connect further with the Italian community and give back to it, I ran for the title of Italian Fetishman of the Year 2025 last year. Since I got the title I’ve been running around Europe trying to represent my home country, its kinky people, and my club (Leather & Fetish Milano); and to strengthen its ties with all the other communities I met along the way.
Don’t be surprised if I suddenly pop up next to you one day, trying to get to know you and your community – as it is with us Italians, we are everywhere. It’s not a threat, just a fact and a promise!
Martin
Judge
Austrian Bear Community // Mr. Bear Austria 2025
Servus from Austria!
My name is Martin, and I have the honor of being a jury member for the M(r|x|s) Fetish Switzerland 2026 election as your Mr. Bear Austria 2025.
The Fetish and Bear communities are connected by a strong bond of authenticity. As a co-founder of the Austrian Bear Community, grassroots volunteer work and the solidarity of our scene have always been particularly close to my heart. From this experience, I know that a titleholder is more than just a face – they are a personality with heart and conviction, someone who takes responsibility for the community.
As a guest from your neighboring country, I am especially looking forward to experiencing the Swiss diversity and passion firsthand.
Nicolas
Judge
ASMF // Mr. Leather France 2024
I’m Nicolas from Strasbourg, 37, better known as Mister Leather France 2024. I’m attracted by leather and rubber, even if I wear leather way more often. I love how this material express both strength and softness, masculinity and sensitivity.
As Mister Leather France I had the opportunity to live a one-of-a-kind experience, visit many cities and discover several aspects of the fetish community. Now I’m a board member of French fetish association ASMF, head of the Mister Leather France committee and ECMC delegate.
I’ve also been involved for several years in the fetish scene in Strasbourg, member of both local clubs Fetish Social Strasbourg and Est Fetish. I’ve co-organised the first BLUF weekend in Strasbourg in 2019, and now I’m organising the Mister Leather France 2026 Contest in the capital of Alsace.
In my daily life I work as a translator with a strong background in history, fluent in German and English, and I’m even able to translate Gothic manuscripts from the 16th to 20th century. Besides, I’m also an ESC and Drag Race fan!

Sebastian
Judge and Organization Team
M Fetish Switzerland, Leathermen of Switzerland
As a child, sandal films drew Sebastian in with one thing: the way leather and armor amplified the bodies that wore them. The real world offered its own version – uniformed authority in streets, stations, and public spaces, carrying weight, stance, and command without a word. Together, fiction and reality formed a fascination that never let go. Today, he co‑creates his gear as an expression of that enduring force.
Sebastian is co-founder of the M Fetish Switzerland and the president of the association. He is also co-founder and president of the Leathermen of Switzerland and Secretariat Member of the European Confederation of Motorcycle Clubs (ECMC).
