Careful With Your Latex…and other clothing as well

In other fashion mishap related news, Lululemon is recalling over three hundred thousand of their women’s tops. It seems the draw cords of the tops-elastic cords with metal or plastic hard ends-have injured enough wearers’ faces and eyes, or became caught on something they have passed…and then snapped back, to cause the recall.

Two years ago Lululemon Athletica Inc. had to recall yoga pants after complaints that the material used in their construction was either too sheer or ‘pilling” and/or splitting at the seams.

Burlesque Fashion introduces more European fans to Dawnamatrix

With our friends/co-workers Yummy Gummy having recently won the European Fetish Award for Best Idea/Start-Up in Berlin at the German Fetish Ball we can say with certainty that Germany knows its latex clothing. So you can bet we were honored to have an entire article written about the Dawnamatrix brand on the German-based Burlesque Fashion site: https://www.burlesque-fashion.com/2015/latex-creations-of-dawnamatrix-overcome-time-and-space/.

The shiny latex chicken or textured latex egg…which comes first, and who cares?

With the rise in popularity of cable series like Game Of Thrones, the consistent startling and tireless work of cosplayers who just love to be in the spotlight, and fashionistas as much asking for, as responding to uniquely rendered latex couture, it’s a heady thing sometimes considering: is it the latex clad chicken or the shiny textured latex egg that comes first in what we do? Time and again we’re as much riding a culture zeitgeist as we are tickling an idea that pops forth from our imagination and acumen just before it seems to play large across the media landscape.

The End Of Marquis Magazine

Certainly, we see latex clothing pushing ever stronger into the mainstream these days. Phenomena like Fifty Shades Of Grey or even the latest outfit Kendall Jenner might be wearing gives alternate concerns/and couture ever greater attention…and as San Diego Comic-Con grows ever closer the world will be yet again get some good eye-candy view of hard working cosplayers (and we have just the jacket for it https://dawnamatrix.com/shop/steampunk/gunslinger-jacket-2/). But for the most part ours is still a small community of folks, albeit a global one to be sure, who enjoy wearing latex clothing and attending events to show off and play. When one of our own closes shop, as Germany’s Marquis Magazine is, we all feel the repercussions.

Yummy Gummy Latex gives Dawnamatrix a ‘shout out’ in The Fetishistas.com

There wouldn’t be much good in designing and making latex clothing…without the latex to make it with. It is very important that the high-grade materials we come to use match our exacting standards; our customers have come to expect nothing less from Dawnamatrix Designs. And seeing that often we require specific textures and colors that won’t ever run or fade, we are even more discerning in our needs. One of these latex suppliers who not only meet but exceed or exacting standards time and again, Yummy Gummy Latex, is profiled in The Fetishistas.com this week and they even managed to give us a glowing ‘shout out.’

The Kentucky Derby and Latex? Maybe Not This Year.

Oh-so-distinctive couture has been a feature of derby day since its inception in 1875. Colonel M. Lewis Clark, Jr. envisioned the day at Churchill Downs as a grand event more akin to a European car racing Grand Prix then just any old horse race. As much as been made of triple crown winning horses (this year American Pharaoh is being slated to win the Belmont Stakes and becoming a Triple Crown winner) as the celebs who attend, to all the colorful dresses and of course the hats. (Here is Nordstrom’s Kentucky Derby Dresses page & J.C. Penny’s hat page.)

Bruce Is Out, Caitlyn Jenner Is “In”

It’s official. Once you land an Annie Leibovitz Vanity Fair cover, you might as well know you have as much made your high couture stripes as you are going to be seen throughout the mainstream news.

The picture of that cover, a stunner, has been released today across the blog’o world, with the issue to appear on newsstands June 9th.
