I’m always excited when wardrobe projects local to Atlanta come my way. And to once again be involved in the modern music scene is something Dawnamatrix is as much striving for as anything else we do in our particular couture business. I want to thanks stylists Tabitha Sanchez and Todd White for the chance to dress the “Queen of Da Souf,” Mulatto. It was a pleasure to be part of her world for even a brief time.

s crucial as latex couture is to us, alternative fashions, cosplay, etc. we have to admit, that sometimes, what somebody is not wearing makes for a more impactful story. Mr. Skin’s Jim McBride has been attempting to prove this on his very popular Howard Stern-approved website for decades. Now, he has released a documentary, Skin: A History of Nudity in the Movies, approaching the who, when, and where someone showed themselves across the history of motion pictures.

As you may have read in this blog, The World Of WearableArt has been very good to our latex designs. We won awards in 2019, ‘18, and ’17 at the competition and they continue to support us and all the other designers who enter by showcasing our work beyond their yearly competition. We just received …
And here I was thinking I was just a simple latex designer. Living now in Georgia, I’m flattered to announce that I am considered a specialty costume/wardrobe maker in the Atlanta Movie/T.V. Studio scene. Some folks make armor, other are leather workers, but I found work, for the first time since relocating to Georgia, on …
In recent years we have seen plenty of fashion designers creating latex costumes, alternative bespoke wardrobe pieces, and signature accessories for some of our most illustrious pop stars. We almost take for granted the marriage of haute couture and pop. And one could argue that Japanese designer Kansai Yamamoto was one of the earliest to …
Not that any of us had any doubt that when Nicki Minaj publicly announced her pregnancy that she wouldn’t do so with aplomb, maybe wearing a latex wardrobe piece or other bodacious costume couture. This week the 37-year-old singer gave us an array of pictures of her dressed in various outfits announcing “#Preggers 💛.” In …
We all know how important it is to accessorize with our latex couture. Gloves, some metal jewelry, or even a mask (especially a mask these days) can add just the right finishing touches to the look we are going for. This week (tomorrow 7/22, actually) accessories of quite a historical significance, owned by Marilyn Monroe, …
Sometimes it’s only about how cute we look in a latex dress or how much our muscles bulge in a tight rubber shirt. Then other times—and indeed for a latex designer—it’s about finding the right material and texture or setting the perfect color for the textile art that we engage in. Then modern fashion, culture, …
Fans of the fantastic are wondering how (even if) precisely they might experience the usual round of cosplayers, latex costume wearers, and rabid anime players at this year’s “Comic-Con@Home.” The grand-daddy San Diego Comic-Con International is taking place digitally this year (and for free) happening the same weekend as it usually did at San Diego’s …
We don’t often, (if we ever do), think of candy when wiggling into our latex couture, do we? If anything, we are probably bemoaning what we should not have eaten when stepping out wearing our favorite wardrobe pieces. But candy company SweeTARTS® has come up with a sweet new connection to a cool fashion, centered around one …

Max …
Sure, we get our fix catching the latest “dropped” video, or spying some newly posted Instagram post, but most of us alt. fashionistas are surely missing the usual summer spate of fantastic movies and their stunning array of cool costumes and latex wear.

With our attention on latex fashions and alternative wardrobe styles, we’re often reporting on stories about movies, celebrities, and music. Seemingly every day, there comes an Instagram picture of a Kardashian rocking some cool new outfit or a ‘dropped’ video featuring some luscious fetish look. And even though the latest spate of superhero movies might …
The action of this particular play takes place years ago, so we don’t have any hope of latex couture in its onstage wardrobe. But one can still marvel over the costumes, as much as the music and history lesson, of Hamilton. And one can marvel all over Lin-Manuel Miranda’s hit creation with Disney + releasing the …
Having you been chomping at the bit to wear your latex dress, a Dawnmatrix kimono, or even spice up your mask in an alternative way?

Talk about salivating over latex couture! We dare you to happen round the new Chloe x Halle video “Forgive Me,” and not have to catch your collective, alternative fashionista breath.

Admittedly, we are used to the various Jenner-Kardashians sparking the blog o’ sphere by stepping out in latex couture, making news with their multiple brands…just being themselves. This week Kendall Jenner managed to ‘step out’ in some interesting ways, and one wasn’t exactly her. With the recent unfortunate events in Minneapolis and the protests raised …
Indeed, it’s not the usual June bride season where we would see latex wedding gowns flying out of our studio. The pandemic has either significantly curtailed the big nuptial parties we usually see this time of year or, in some cases, have had couples postpone their ceremony altogether. But in a sure positive sign-of-the-times, Spanx …
Although there was no latex couture mentioned, according to a brand-new UK poll, denim jackets, knee-high boots, and even the classic leather biker jacket made a top ten list of most iconic fashion trends.

It seems for this week, at least, we won’t be able to get past the latex, futuristic sharp-edge styling and powerful sound of Lady Gaga’s new Chromatica. “A Star Is Born,” diva broke her 6th album just yesterday, and the world she presents this time, is populated by “kindness punks” where “no one thing is greater than …
Have you seen the latex costuming in Lady Gaga’s duet with Ariana Grande, on the video clip for Rain On Me,?

It could have just as quickly been some new latex mask design or some fetish facemask, but it seems fashion-meets-pandemic has produced the first news-worthy wardrobe item. Just in time for summer frolicking social distancing, an Italian designer has unleashed the “Trikini” to the world. Tiziana Scaramuzzo, the owner of Elexa Beachwear, located in Senigallia, …
We all know what a sexy latex top, a loud sound system and colossal video screen can bring to modern music performance. But without attitude, a singer/performer/modern-day diva (man or woman) is sunk. Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars, and so many others would be lost without their particular joie de vivre, no matter what they are …
Every year the lace, haute couture latex, and leather are on grand display at the Met Gala, coinciding as it does with the Metropolitan Museums’ yearly themed fashion exhibit.

The Nicki’s, Gaga’s, and before them, the Madonna’s of this world have been the creative forces behind lots of latex, lingerie, and overall, naughty couture turns.

Ryan Murphy forgoes horror, latex, leather, and other dark wardrobe choices for his new Netflix series, Hollywood.

Social distancing and self-quarantining continue, but that doesn’t mean latex fashions, lingerie mix-and-matching, big-time fashion events, celebrity postings, and yes, even a little sex-positivity, stops. Below are some of our favorite stories from the beginning of this week. During the last two months or so, we have seen plenty of celebrities logging lots of time …
Admittedly, we could still find Mick Jagger strutting across a stage wearing some tight latex trousers. But one doesn’t necessarily think alternate fashion or even wild rock & roll debauchery when one considers the Rolling Stones presently. Still the band—drummer Charlie Watts, invincible force-of-nature, Keith Richards, Ron Wood, and Mick Jagger—gathered together for two COVID-19 …
