Jean Bardot Interviews Team Dawnamatrix @ Montreal Fetish Weekend

At the past MFW we debuted our Space & Time collection, and finding ourselves in town pre that showing we found ourselves being interviewed on the famous Rue Ste.-Catherine by the wonderful Jean Bardot. As you will see on this video beautiful models walked by showing various Dawnamatrix pieces while Jean and Team Dawnamatrix had a good old jaw. There is Holy Scar wearing the Damask Vest, Nea Dune wearing the Long Sleeved Galaxy Dress Ian wearing the Angel Tank and Shea strutting like royalty in our Queen of Hearts gown

Dawnamatrix in the May 2015 issue of Vogue Ukraine

Our latest credit comes from this decided global exploration, via Vogue Ukraine. In the famous couture magazine’s May issue we have contributed Premium Thigh Highs, Lace Shrug, and Underwire Bra. This new shoot in Vogue features model Mirte Maas wearing or wares in photos shot by Jack Waterlot, with the stylist on the shoot Amy Mach. We previously worked with Amy Mach and Jack Waterlot on photo editorials for L’Officiel Magazine (including the project with Sharon Stone, see here) and we can’t express enough how thrilled we are to join their team once again, once again for another international high-end publication.

Anne Rice Sets Us All Straight With “Beauty’s Kingdom”

A loose ‘retelling’ of the Sleeping Beauty story (very loose) it seems this time out servitude in Queen Eleanor’s kingdom (now with the queen dead) becomes voluntary under Beauty and Laurent’s reign. Fans of pony-play scenes will no doubt rejoice (or just those of us who like to wear a snap collar a time or two, or a ring harness. Who doesn’t like to wiggle into a classic piece like our https://dawnamatrix.com/shop/bottoms/victorian-skirt-2/ and have a historical romp?

Dawnamatrix in Dark Parlour Magazine

Launched in October of 2011, Dark Parlour Magazine features a dizzying display of alternative couture models and clothing, photographers, writers, musicians, designers-truly artists of all kinds-between its pages. The colorful magazine boasts a global reach, with a focus on the Canadian alternative scene especially. In this age of the “print is dead” battle cry it is heartening indeed to find a magazine like Dark Parlour alive and well and publishing such provocative-and “alternative” “fetish” “fantasy”-stuff.

Dawnamatrix Talks To Rain Dove

Modeling as both male and female, acting, writing, forever championing a forward discussion and action as someone defining-and battling-social dysmorphia, Rain Dove is one striking woman (in both her physicality as well as her thoughts and actions). You might not currently find a public figure making such a fine diamond hard point into the current consciousness…but we did, as Rain Dove took the time out from her busy schedule to talk to Dawnamatrix.

The Woman With The Best Body Of All Time: Victoria’s Secret, Lane Bryant, Curvy Kate, all ‘Weigh’ In.

We have certainly weighed in (pardon the pun) over this debate a few times ourselves, but the fires are once again being stoked, presently from an ad plus-size retailer Lane Bryant recently launched. Their new #ImNoAngel intimate couture campaign features plus-sized models Ashley Graham, Marquita Pring, Justine Elly Mayday (and a host of others) appearing in a Cass Bird photo-spread showing lots of themselves in the Lane Bryant new Cacique undies line. One might recall Ashley Graham executing quite the positive ‘you go girl’ historic step appearing as she did as the first-ever plus sized model in a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit photo-spread in this year’s issue (see our reporting on that here). Or the great big backlash over Victoria’s Secret’s “Perfect Body” campaign, where both Dear Kate and Curvy Kate (these two ‘Kate’s’ are not sisters) created parodies of the V.S. add. The debate rages so heatedly actually, to what is the perfect body, if there is a perfect body, should there be a perfect body that even Yahoo Style is asking this week: https://www.yahoo.com/style/why-the-world-is-turning-against-victorias-secret-115870343048.html.

Mad Men Slips Into The 70’s

Fan or not of the super popular AMC series, there is no denying that Mad Men, now in its final season, has enjoyed a successful run. The appeal of actors like Jon Hamm, January Jones, Christian Hendricks and so many other talented men and women, the peak through past decades and the delineated roles men and women were locked into were brought alive in the series’ long run (this, their 7th season, is their last). And of course the sartorial sensibility of the show, the resplendent suits and colors of clothes we hadn’t seen in prime time T.V. in so long, added to the cool of the show and had people talking all the time (Tom Fitzgerald and Lorenzo Marquez who run a popular style site have been cataloging almost every Mad Men outfit on their site for their https://tomandlorenzo.com/tag/mad-style/series) This last season of Mad Men sees the cast slipping into 1970…and boy is the wardrobe of Mad Men making news once again.

Latex Colors

The color choices we offer have certainly increased over the years, to very much like what you might find in a common Easter Basket. Just some of the colors on our list include: Orange, Plum, Vibrant Pink, Yellow Jade, various Pearl Sheen colors and Transparents, not to mention all the various leopard prints, textured latex (clearly evident in the Space & Time collection we debuted in August of last year) scales and splatter designers we sell.

Don’t hesitate to dream your bespoke fantasies in high Technicolor. Or rock your black, whi

The iHeartRadio Music Awards Gets Damn Sexy

Certainly the iHeartRadio performance/award show is another in a long list of self-celeb congratulatory made-for-T.V. moments, but there is no denying recent onstage fashions are of a whole different-dare we dream it-alternative bent these days? Sure, the original Material Girl and Rihanna have been known to show more than a little skin (Madonna at 56 isn’t shying away from revealing as much of herself as she can) but when we get Taylor Swift dressing so sexy, it’s either that we are one stretch closer to a couture apocalypse or what Dawnamatrix has been about for years is coming to pass…leather, latex, thigh high fishnets and corsets are damn sexy and the world is coming to realize it more and more.
