Eric Guttierez
Born in France to a Spanish family, Eric is an excellent representative of today's diverse and unified European Community. Eric's parents are motorcyclists, thus he learned about leather at a very young age. This very early experience with leather has grown into a passion.
Together with his partner, he has been active in the European fetish scene for nearly 10 years. In 2010, he was selected Mr. Leather Paris, then Mr. Leather France. Representing France (and its Club l'ASMF) at the ECMC (European Confederation of Motorcycle Clubs), Eric won the title of Mr. Europe Leather in October of 2010. Eric continued his adventure in Chicago and in May 2011 became the 33rd International Mr. Leather.
Eric travels extensively judging many European leather contests (Mr. Leather France, Mr. Leather Belgium and German Mr. Leather, Mr Leather Europe). Eric's goal for his title year was to demonstrate the diversity of the Global Leather Community and to be a living example of its openness, inclusivity and tolerance.
Eric lives each day following a simple motto: “It’s not always very easy to be who you are...but it’s better than pretending to be someone else.”
