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 …
While this blog will end with the one outstanding latex outfit worn at the 2026 Met Gala, we’ll tickle across some of the other outfits the A-listers wore to this year’s “Costume Art,” Oscars of Fashion monumental fashion roll out. The Met Gala, major fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute sees a …
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 this is not the only place where we indulge our interest in innovative modern fashion and its production. Be it some unusual textile, a new technology employed in rendering, …
Be it latex, lace, PVC, denim or satin, we’ve known for years that Madonna is a true ‘material girl.’ The wide variety of styles and textiles she has worn over her career, how she influenced 80s fashion, her video costuming, as well as on stage couture has become iconic. But after appearing with Sabrina Carpenter …
Some latex, some Sweeney and whole bunch of other famous names make this fashion round up. A Little Latex Fanta At Coachella 2026 Beyond Addison Rae’s Britney Spears-inspired red latex outfit, and all the other fashions seen at Coachchella 2026, we saw some of our favorite textile featured, off stage, at the big music fest. …
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. The 33-year-old-rapper, out on her Little Miss Drama Tour, dropped a viral video this week of her inviting Meek Mill on stage in Philadelphia. Unwrapping herself from a black fur coat while …
Another month, another fashion/culture round-up…this time we have four latex outfits to report about, some more Devis Wears Prada 2 news, and a consideration of latex. The Devil Wears Prada 2…Posters If you haven’t yet had enough of all the press for “The Devil Wears Prada 2” movie, here you can get a glimpse at …
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, …
As you can see from this post (which includes a picture of our latex couture creation ‘Tsukomogami’, the 2025 Supreme WOW Supreme Award winner at the top of the article) tickets are now on sale for the WOW (World of WearableArt show) returning to Wellington this year, 9/17 to 10/4. This year’s show, 2026 WOW Show: …
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. Luckily in our history we have had all of these facets working in harmony when we have sent a …
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. The upcoming celebration, with no date as of yet set, would indeed be, as L247 claims, the “world’s first latex fashion awards.” This all got us thinking, “Hey, there never has been an award show just for our favorite textile. 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. Teyana Taylor and Jenna Ortega at the 32nd Actor Awards One can become all too exhausted from the numerous award shows held this time of year, even with the possibility of celebrities …
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. And given how so many latex wearers are also fans of fantasy and science fiction, who won what at this year’s VES Awards were of interest as well. …
Once you step past the catty dialogue, look across the fabulous outfits for a hint of latex couture (there isn’t any) and take a breath over the fact that all the same principles seem to be back; one can truly appreciate the just-dropped Devil Wears Prada 2 trailer. Premiering in theaters May 1, we get …
Wishing, as we always do, that we might see some latex among all the celebrities who walk its red carpet, we’re not sure how to take the announcement of the official 2026 Met Gala dress code this year being “Fashion Is Art.” A natural couture outgrowth of the museum’s Costume Art exhibition, opening on the …
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 …
Whether it was the nude Marina Hoermanseder dress she just wore to Grammys 2026 or the new pic she posted for her latest music collab with Diplo, we have seen lots of Heidi Klum in latex in the past few weeks. And really, what could be better? Hoermanseder actually shared some behind-the-scenes of Heidi and …
It surely will be a great weekend to get out your red latex catsuit, some pants, or a fire-engine colored latex bra. You might also be able to pair your latex outfit with one of Sydney Sweeney’s new Syrn pieces. And if you have time to slip in and out of your catsuit or pants, …
Say it isn’t so…latex at Paris Fashion Week? Ok, this isn’t the first time we saw our favorite textile on the runway at a major fashion show. But at Paris Fashion Week, latex couture was featured in a collection by designer Arthur Avellan and Sextou included latex elements in their wardrobe at a huge party …
Latex, lace, leather, and copious amounts of skin, along with protest buttons; attendees did not disappoint in what they wore to the 68th Grammy Awards. Celebrities attending this latest version of the granddaddy music celebration gave us a whole lot to look at and post about…and we got to enjoy a grand latex couture moment …
We surely have enjoyed a good amount of celebrated latex outfits. From Kim Kardashian’s Met Gala Thierry Mugler dress. To both Michelle Pfeiffer and Zoe Kravitz sporting a black latex catsuit in their take on Catwoman. And then there was the military-inspired latex mini, Katy Perry wore in 2010 at the VH1 Divas Salute The …
And here we thought celebrities wearing sexy latex outfits might sometimes garner controversy. It seems Sydney Sweeney did so (again) just a few days ago, hanging some bras on the iconic Hollywood sign. To be specific, dressed in a black baseball cap, Sweeney placed a handful of bras on the ‘H’ of the 103-year-old landmark …
Is anybody surprised that the latest tech has intruded into latex couture? Chat GPT, computer-generated images, and all types of modern digital advancements have been a welcome bedfellow to the world of fashion for years. That we currently see a deeper, barely detectable AI infiltration into the sartorial space shouldn’t be surprising. And upon tripping …
For this first 2026 fashion news round-up, we once again feature Kylie in some latex, a new dress code for this year’s Actor Awards, and trends from the current Milan Fashion Week. We also bid farewell to Valentino Garavani. Kylie Again The just-released ‘mockumentary’ The Moment is a fictionalized rollout of singer Charli XCX’s Brat …
And here we thought Britney Spears would be the only one synonymous with a red latex catsuit iconic fashion moment. But it seems, Kylie Jenner, seemingly to pop up everywhere these days in some scrumptious wardrobe, latex or not (she wore a shimmering Ashi Studio gown at the just past Golden Globes) is making news …
Ok, there wasn’t exactly a ban on latex wardrobe at the 2026 Golden Globes, which aired this past Sunday. Still not one nominee, presenter, attendee or the show’s host (this year Nikki Glaser) took to wearing our favorite textile. Despite this, there were some interesting wardrobe choices to make note of from an alt. fashion …
