This recent article, from GigWise.com reminds readers how best to wear a latex swimsuit.

She might not be a movie star synonymous with wearing latex couture, but Marilyn Monroe is surely an icon. Had she lived, the quintessential ‘blonde bombshell’ would have turned 100 on June 1st .

The latex costumes we created for the Harajuku Stars of the Sukeban Japanese all-women wrestling group, just got a great mention on the WearLatex.com site.

Across the span of two of our more recent blogs, we;ve mentioned the Latex Fashion Awards; their actual announcement of the show from show partner Latex 24/7 and then the award’s categories being announced even more recently. Here is a detailed list of the categories, with a breakdown of exactly what they celebrate and who …
We surely have told you about our latex couture connection with the Sukeban Japanese pro wrestling.

And once again, some of our …
One of our competitors (no, we won’t name who) just published their “Latex trends 2026.” It’s an interesting assessment, some of which we agree with…and some not.

As close as we may ever get to Tom Brady wearing latex, a surprise illegal bounty found in some Skims and both Jane Fonda and a python making news at Cannes, here are some fashion bites we thought might be tasty for the beginning of this week. Brady in Leather Gucci Just this past Saturday, …
We know there are latex outfits as well as latex accessories…then there are those little latex embellishments that add such a splash to one’s style they can’t rightly be ignored. As we realized last week when we reported on it and this week when we mentioned it, we wondered if we’d really get clear of …
As a latex fashion designer, we certainly regard the people behind-the-scenes as one big family, and champion them all. From talented folks who create and cut the colorful latex sheeting we use, the people on the forefront of technology as much helping to bring 3D printing to the fore, to whatever else they might dream …

Does the usual axiom “It’s an honor just to be nominated” apply to latex designers as much as it does the actors at the Academy Awards? It looks like we all will soon see as we just read that the inaugural Latex Fashion Awards, that we first reported on here, has now revealed the categories for nominees …
A latex catsuit, (and plenty of other fashions in a new video), Nicole Kidman’s gam, and Madonna bouncing back post her outfits going missing at Coachella, all make this little news round up. Speaking about The Devil Wears Prada 2 as we did last time (and a few blogs before) have you seen Lady Gaga …
Our latex couture submissions into the World of Wearable Art always have us marveling at all the amazing designs we see at the show/ competition.

But after appearing with Sabrina Carpenter …

You might catch a modern-day diva on stage strutting in a latex top. Spy some ‘influencer’ on their phone posting to millions. Catch an A-list (or even D-list) celebrity walking the crowd, as much as stepping from an even tent. You might even swipe some swag from a pop-up shop. Whatever one might get into …
Be it a concert, a latex runway, or just a quick get together with friends, there is no arguing that COVID took the wind out of our socializing sails for quite a few years. And while things have been coming back in all quarters (somewhat) we will always feel the effects, good or bad from …
Wearing latex like she does in her infamous WAP video, or just a bedazzled bodysuit and boots, it’s hard to ignore Cardi B.

As we have seen time and again on our latex models, it’s as much what one wears as how one wears it. Sporting a fantastic figure and being able to wiggle into a latex bodysuit is not all there is to showing off our clothes, as it is not all there is to going out …
Dawnamatrix has surely surfed many a technological advance—new textures and colors available for latex outfit creation, 3D printing, etc.—not to mention, all that being on the Internet has allowed us (least of all this blog). But predicting the what, how, where and when of the advancing AI infiltration into latex couture, would be a fool’s …
Out of all the movies/theatre productions to appear over the past few decades that explore camp, latex, corsets, and the freedom to ‘don’t dream it, be it,” Rocky Horror reigns supreme. Richard O’Brien’s unique romp-of-a-show that rose from a UK cult musical playing in the small upstairs space of the Royal Court Theatre in London, …

Any latex designer worth their shiny stuff would know it can as much be the model, make-up, the location, the outfit and surely the lighting that can make or break a hoped-to-be great latex red-carpet reveal.

There is no denying the mad rush of paparazzi and fans to see who is wearing what (be it some smashingly sexy latex outfit or not) to the yearly Academy Awards. And while surely last Sunday there was a lot to be seen, commented on and for some, even salivated over, we prefer to stake …
It’s quite interesting from a latex designer’s point of view when someone poses for a Vanity Fair cover and garners a bunch of controversy, but not from what they are wearing. Kylie Jenner is facing criticism over the new cover just ‘dropped, from the fact that she is seemingly smoking a cigarette on the front …
Our friends over at Latex24/7 have just announced an upcoming Latex Fashion Awards.

And furthermore, …
Fashion bits and pieces, as much about latex as about alternative looks and even a possible celebrity impersonation, make this fashion blog round-up.

Despite some controversy John Davidson engendered this year, it does seem that we can still gush a bit about The Brit Awards’ latex wardrobe red carpet reveals.

Reading this fashion news post today: EBay Acquires Depop from Etsy for $1.2 Billion, made me think of something I wonder often: where are people buying latex these days? As you’d be able to tell with even a cursory read of this blog, we enjoy a healthy competition with our fellow latex designers and retailers. …
From the sexy and short wedding dress Madonna wore during her 1984 “Like a Virgin” performance at the MTV Video Music Awards, Elvis Presley’s white and glittery “Aloha from Hawaii” jumpsuit, or Lady Gaga channeling Queen Elizabeth wearing red latex Victorian style when performing at the Royal Variety Show, the world has been treated to …
