With all we have been blogging about over the latex and other fantastic couture seen at various All’s Fair premiers, we were all recently treated to a little behind-the-scenes of the specifics of latex wear for those events. In a TikTok video released from Kim Kardashian of what she called a “fashion emergency,” the Hulu …
As to be expected for this year’s All Hallow’s, the range of celebrity costumes, the textiles used in making them (yes, latex included) and the many posts about them enticed us all. Here is a run down of just a few. Let’s start with the celebrity grandghostie to it all, Heidi Klum. While teasing with …
Certain recent movies have become as much known for an actor wearing some wildly sexy outfit—latex, PVC or other—introducing a new star to the screen, catching the zeitgeist of a moment or some dialogue spoken that goes on to become iconic. One could most likely throw Jennifer’s Body onto this list. In that 2009 film …
Having not yet premiered (it does on Nov 4th), we really have no idea what latex couture, if any, we might see on the new Hulu series “All’s Fair.” But as we have read from the show’s costume designer Paula Bradley looking to reimagine “the lawyer aesthetic with tailored silhouettes, statement accessories, and confident, modern …
Launched four years ago, the Academy Museum Gala raises funds for the iconic LA museum, attracting a host of A-listers who attend in their finest attire, both with and without latex. And even without our favorite textile, the scene seen this past Saturday is worth noting a week later. From ‘classic’ Hollywood couture looks to …
Getting beyond Kim Kardashian ‘breaking’ the net last week with the release of SKIMS’s ‘merkin’ G-strings, or Al Pacino and Robert De Niro joining a Moncler fashion campaign, there was indeed fashion news that actually featured latex. One of our news items below features Kim’s close relative, another, a celebrity who seems to keep on …
Alas, there is always more lace than there would ever be latex, but there were plenty of wings, pop stars, and some sure firsts at the 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show unveiled last night. It’s no secret that this infamous show is back! Although she has surely modeled for them before, Emily Ratajkowski made her …
Be it Daily News pics of cosplayers dressed in their latex, lace, and PVC, blogs about toy debuts, or celebrity-filled panels talked over on various YouTube shows, New York Comic Con 2025 just passed, and the reviews and reveals are in. As expected, when it comes to cosplay dress up, tons of fans came to …
Surely, there’s not a latex shirt to be found in this recent Etsy offering. But ‘Pharmacy Halloween’ shirts? It’s an interesting collection to be sure, and not one we had been privy to before. So, as we wrap up this month of Halloween costumes of all stripes (yes, more blogs are coming that cover the …
It’s never too late to either rock some latex couture, share a sexy pic on your Instagram draped in lace, or show off some classic Vegas showgirl costumes. And while Debbie Gibson, Madonna, and Taylor Swift represent different music and style sensibilities (and eras…no pun intended), all three ladies are showing some interesting couture choices …
Latex capes, lacey undies worn outside, gloves, hats, masks, and all manner of cosplay accessories…Halloween 2025 couture is coming. Websites from Better Home & Gardens to ones featuring “spicy” lingerie to the ubiquitous American holiday superstore Spirit Halloween, parodied in a recent SNL mockmercial, are weighing in early with their predictions on the most popular …
Basking though we are in the glow of our big WOW win (see here and here), we realize the latex wardrobe world keeps spinning regardless of anyone’s personal news. This last day of September, we wanted to report on a few stories of celebrities wearing latex at the end of this month. Across four sold-out …
As we proudly declared in our last blog, our latex design Tsukumogami won the big daddy Supreme WOW Award last week (as well as the Myths & Legends Section). Ben and I couldn’t be happier. But seeing as we competed against 85 finalist entries created by 100 designers from 17 countries, across 25 awards, we thought …
We can proudly declare that once again one of our latex designs won at WOW. But this time, Ben and I won the top prize at the 2025 World of WearableArt (WOW) Awards, with our Tsukumogami taking home the competition’s Supreme WOW Award. Yes, we have been regular finalists since 2017 at WOW, achieving eight finalist …
It took us some time to wiggle out of our latex corset, take a deep breath, and really consider the death of legendary fashion icon, Giorgio Armani. Armani died on September 4th at the age of 91, and below we lovingly consider the man with what we hope is a fitting tribute a few weeks …
We can rightly assume that any broadcast music/fashion/see-and-be-scene will engender the ubiquitous ‘after-party,’ where fashions could range from latex, lace, leather…and pretty much anything else. Celebrities usually take these after-event occasions to really let loose their wardrobe creativity, or at least show more skin than they can on broadcast TV. And from rooftop parties to …
Focusing on three main ladies in this part two of our VMA 2025 couture coverage, we find none in latex. But surely, they made fashionistas and fans alike salivate with their incredible red carpet looks as well as stage costume fashions. In no particular order… Sabrina Carpenter walked the red carpet in a sheer crimson-colored …
It’s not that (once again) there was much latex couture for us to gush about (or any really), but there was a ton of fashion coming into the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York this past Sunday. And even without the latex, so much of that fashion was provocative and alternative, as we always expect …
As we said at the time, it’s not like Sydney Sweeney was strutting around in some sexy latex couture. But the “Euphoria” star debuted one of the most-talked-about commercials in recent discussion, with her American Eagle “genes” and “jeans” tagline heard around the world. And, as we see this week, there is no stopping good …
In our last blog, we reported on the initial fashions we were seeing at the Venice Film Festival, latex couture or not (and so far, not). And although we have had Emma Stone, Julia Roberts, Cate Blanchett, and so many more showing off stunning wardrobes, once again Kim Kardashian has seemed to have ‘broken’ sartorial …
The high star power glamour of the Venice Film Festival is currently celebrating its 82nd edition across eleven days and you can bet we will be on the lookout for a latex dress, an alternative turn of jacket, any and all kinds of interesting couture. What we have seen so far… Cate Blanchett, who you …
This recently published blog: https://hollywoodlife.com/2025/08/15/mistakes-to-avoid-wearing-latex-dress/ takes us through what Hollywood Life thinks are the foremost mistakes one might encounter when attempting to slip into a latex dress. The cautions here apply to most kinds of latex couture but shouldn’t put any first-time wearer off our favorite textile. Let’s address them one by one: First, HL …
With the World of Wearable Art show coming next month, and yet another of our latex designs earning a nomination as a finalist (yes, we are bragging a bit), our eyes are peeled more than usual (although they always are) on present world fashion events. And we recently happened across some news about Copenhagen Fashion …
Last week, there were a bunch of comments made about pictures Bella Hadid posted wearing white latex while advertising a new addition to her fragrance company, Oreblla. And although the supermodel did indeed look smashing in her plunging latex tank and short skirt, in one of the main pictures, one notices the latex couture set …
Scouring the internet, drawing on our own experiences, and surely listening to the conversations of friends, family, and Dawnamatrix clients, we learn a great deal about the world of alternative fashion that our latex wardrobe rendering has introduced us to. So, when we stumbled across this recent repost “travel idea,” of an old ArtNews article, …
Here is an interesting recently published story, not from the usual source we ‘source’ from, containing a mention of a latex outfit: https://indianexpress.com/article/lifestyle/fashion/5-of-the-most-expensive-outfits-ever-worn-on-screen-by-bollywood-actors-10147030/ The world of Bollywood films is, admittedly, not one we are so conversant in. But we do know the movies produced by the India movie community, and the stars in them, are …
So, we got lucky to hook up with Robert Kelly owner/artist of Dark Seed Creations to get the specific skinny on his latex creation that caused all that ‘is-it-human-body-parts-or-something- else’ bruhaha from last week, which we reported on here. When you heard about all this drama over the bear was there a smidgen of pride in that …
It was a week of fashion news (beyond Sydney Sweeney’s genes/jeans controversy), and there was even some latex in that news. So, with no further preamble, this was the week that was, (somewhat) in fashion… Miranda & JLo Exposed: Miranda Lambert experienced some slightly unexpected ‘southern exposure’ while appearing on stage at an outdoor music …
Jeans More Controversial Than Latex…Thanks, Sydney Sweeney! Once again, it’s not latex that causes a stir — this time, it’s jeans! In the new American Eagle fall campaign, “Euphoria” lead/current “IT” girl Sydney Sweeney is outfitted in head-to-toe denim couture, standing beside a billboard that reads “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Genes.” She crosses out “genes,” …
What was first thought to be a teddy bear made of human skin, found outside a convenience store in Victorville, California, last weekend, was finally discovered to be a toy made of latex. South Carolina artist Robert Kelly lays claim to creating the bear through his company, Dark Seed Creations, which sells the item online …
We held a hopeful chance of catching some latex couture when we reported on Lady Gaga’s opening day set at the Coachella festival this summer. And we did see some in the stage costumes the Queen of the Little Monsters wore at that UK summer show, a preview of her UK/American Mayhem Ball Tour. Just …
Have you ever wanted to be, or are you now, a latex or alternative fashion model? The organizers of Vancouver Fetish Weekend have issued a call for models for their headline fashion show. The big fashion reveal runway event is part of the city’s largest annual gathering of kink, fashion, and alternative art, and you …
Yes, the World of Wearable Art show is coming around once again (as we recently told you here), and a new Dawnamatrix latex wardrobe entry has made it in as a finalist. This is our 9th WOW entry and the 4th collaborative finalist piece I designed with Ben Gould. Once again, it is an unprecidented …
It’s understandable when we wear latex couture any of us could be quite taken with how we look in the various wardrobe choices our favorite textile allows. From the curve-hugging of a latex catsuit to a naughty piece of latex lingerie, accessorizing with gloves, hats, or a mask, latex can truly elevate one’s style — …
As always, we try to keep you updated on latex couture happenings, alternative fashion moments, cosplay, and anything else unusually fashionable (or is it fashionably unusual?) that happens in any given week. The three stories below might interest you… First off, as we have been hearing for a while now, The Devil Wears Prada 2 …
The way they’ve been acting at Wimbledon you’d have thought somebody walked on court in a latex catsuit. The All England Lawn Tennis Club has dealt with numerous seemingly self-inflicted wardrobe controversies in recent years. Back in the dim and distant years of the mid-80s, Anne White committed what many consider the first real fashion …
