Glossy Legs And the Illusions of Color and Texture

What is painted across clothing or even how latex might be textured certainly and often influences our product and the people who buy it. In our daily rendering, the ‘brush’ of a certain texture we employ, certain colors we use, will come to set one piece or even a whole collection apart. Lots of fetish clothing employs illusions of color and cut to make things appear more revealing than they might be, or in some instances show something both wearer and viewer might not be so sure they are seeing. From custom made wear to right-of-the-rack stuff, we see our customers availing themselves of what color and texture can bring to their look time and again

All Hallows Can Get All Weird

And as always happens some costumes have been pulled for retailors for the 2016 Halloween Season. Disney’s “Moana” costume, from the upcoming film of the same name set off too much controversy over “costume caricaturing” of Polynesian culture. And what many sites are calling the most offense costume of the year (quite a distinction) the “Tranny Granny” has been taken off the shelves of many retailers.

Globe-trotting with Dawnamatrix

From Copenhagen back to Seattle (with a stop in Iceland too), premiering both our laser cut latex catsuit and latest full latex collection, “Waterproof,” enjoying the company of so many encouraging people, from fashionistas, models, designers, photographers and fans, and seeing some amazing spots, the past few weeks of the Dawnamatrix schedule has been wondrously busy.

The “Sartorial Diplomacy” Of Michelle Obama

Mrs. Obama made news this week-and certainly this will be the last time she does so in just this way-when wearing a rose gold Versace ‘chain mail’ gown at the Obama’s last White House State Dinner. Entertaining Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi (who wore Giorgio Armani) and his wife Agnese Landini (who wore Ermanno Scervino), the President and First Lady held this last historic event of its kind with Michelle Obama causing quite the stir days later because of her custom made tight dress…and how wonderful she looked in it.

How Does Robbie Williams Stand Himself in “Party Like A Russian”?

Robbie Williams has released his seeming first single “Party Like a Russian” from his new Heavy Entertainment Show album, mining a wonderfully fetish dress-up look for the song’s video. Obviously taking a cue from the iconic Robert Palmer “Addicted To Love” video (as well as Shania Twain’s all-male beefy backing band on “”Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” ) Williams has his ‘band’ of ladies in high-knee, pinpoint heel, lace-up ballet boots and it is quite the sight.

Cosplay=Feminism

“I think cosplay has been one of the driving forces behind that (comic popularity). There are so many more women participating in not just the comic book fandom but the Con culture as well, at San Diego and other cons and that allows us to support a wider diversity of books.”

Seattle Fashion Week Is Here!

As much participating in the fashion exhibition, we are also thrilled to be part of what will prove to be an interesting interaction of so many talented people, from the textile art field, as well as so many others that the city of Seattle has invited. Sponsors such as City of Seattle Office of Arts & Culture–King Street Station, Sound Transit-Union Station, City of Seattle Office of Economic Development, City of Seattle Office of Film & Music, SDOT and Vann.Edge Salon (on-hand for the models as well as just sponsoring) assures a lot of diversity of who will be on hand…for designers and attendees bot

Carrie’s Cool Clothes Gets “Divorced”

Sarah Jessica Parker as “Carrie Bradshaw” might not have worn so much (or any at all) latex outfits in Sex In The City. She was considered a fashion icon though from starring in that hit show of years ago, influencing culture with Cosmos as with her shoes, well-placed “material” flowers and clutches. “Did you see …
