The practical use of a zentai suit is for a puppeteer, actor, or cosplayer to go about their work unnoticed. Literally, they are supposed to blend into the background. You know that nifty special effect in a movie that made you say "Gee wiz?" Done by a person in a Zentai suit who was later edited out by a computer.
Which is interesting because zentai is being used more and more as recreational clothing to lounge around in — especially in Japan. And not just as fetish wear either. Zentai suits are showing up in dance clubs, meditation studios, and shopping malls. A subculture is beginning to take shape around zentai.
For the most part, this has not yet touched the Wester world, but The Zentai Project is pioneering its recreational use.
We in The Zentai Project make occasional 'walkabouts' - trips with one or more people wearing zentai out in public places, and sometimes someone to take pictures. Walkabouts have happened all around the world, as you can see from the pictures in the gallery.- The Zentai Project -
And I'm all for it. This is the perfect avenue to make a bold fashion statement but preserve one's anonymity. One can say the person attracted to zentai exhibits signs of attention whoredom. I disagree. The attention is on the suit and perhaps the body the suit is accentuating. There is no way, though, to identify the person inhabiting the suit.
Frankly, I find this kind of refreshing.
