Celebrity Couture For Causes…This Week

Though none are wearing latex clothing to better their causes, Pam Anderson, Caitlyn Jenner and Christian Siriano seem to be marrying a message with their latest fashion work. Jenner has partnered with a major makeup company helping to fight AIDS and further transgender causes. Anderson showed lots of herself (not that that’s unusual in and of itself) for vegan shoes and famed fashion designer Siriano is looking to bring awareness to global water problems at this year’s Oscars.

Objects of Desire

We told you to look out for the book Objects Of Desire, with our latex clothing appearing across a few of its pages (see here): the book has just been published, and we are here to report it is wonderful. Writer Rita Catinella Orrell and visual artist Jason Scuderi, created the over 200-page hard cover showcasing the modern design of adult products, jewelry and clothing (this is where Dawnamatrix haute couture fits in) as well as interviewing notables in the field of sex. Their book is a stunning achievement, as every bit a feast for eye as it is intellect.

Supatex Site Relaunch

Supatex is the fashion division of 4D Rubber. Based in Derbyshire England, 4D has been a leader in rubber sheeting and rubber clothing for over half a century. Their unique manufacturing processes has created for both companies the consistent possibility of a wide color range, more secure bonding and the very best in shine, tear strength and stretch. And as we all well know, these are particular factors those of us who wear/make/enjoy latex and rubber find very important indeed.

Dawnamatrix At The 2016 Grammys

Ok, we didn’t exactly make it to the stage, nor were any of our latex outfits dripping off any of the divas of the day. Yes, we would have loved to have accessorized Z LaLa’s whip dress or added some David Bowie-inspired latex bling for Lady Gaga’s tribute. But where our couture was seen Monday night is probably just as important as being on the actual Grammy broadcast, at least when it comes to advertising dollars. It seems a newer Covergirl “Plumpify Mascara” 60 second spot, starring Katy Perry wearing our Skater Dress and inflatable skirt, was shown during Monday night’s music celebration commercials.

Musicians Make New York Fashion Week 2016 ‘Alternative’?

New York Fashion Week, as is true of Mila, London, Paris, is not about presenting the latest in latex corsets, challenging the status quo with a fetish model strutting down the runway, and certainly pushes celebrity sightings now more than high couture. An though we can’t expect to find our next bespoke naughty outfit in any of these fashion weeks, still each year we do dream that just maybe a old school designer, or maybe even a Kanye or a RiRi might try something slightly daring…and of course affordable.

UNLEASHED Amsterdam 5th Anniversary Party

The sponsors of these European parties read like a Who’s Who of alt. design makers and shakers, with Marquis Magazine, DeMasK Amsterdam, INSOMNIA-Nightclub and Pleasurements just some of the names on a long list of UNLEASHED sponsors. And as always spectacular star D,J.’s will pump music throughout the venue, the crowd is sure to get close, heated and twirl with abandon and UNLEASHED promises their usual mix of international performing talent and even a rubber clothing fashion show sometime during the night.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies Is A Hot Topic

We all know Victorian-era clothing is just perfect for dress-up possibilities and seeing as Seth Grahame-Smith’s 2009 parody story mashed-up Jane Austin with flesh eaters, we get comely lasses in lace and petticoats dispatching monsters across a blood-soaked English countryside. But what the ladies of the time wear under their outfits is what most interests Hot Topic here, as they have managed to produce a new line of unmentionables for fans of the movie…or just ladies who wish some extra special dressing-up under their everyday wardrobes.
