And yet another way to beat the stay-at-home blues, beyond managing a round of cleaning and caring for your latex outfits (see here). Have you get seen the #hollywoodathomechallenge? It seems people are taking to their Twitter and Instagram accounts to show off recreations of iconic celebrity looks, poses, and movie-screen captures. All it requires …
Although she doesn’t wear much latex (if any at all), Wonder Woman is arguably one of our most tantalizing superheroes. As she is currently being portrayed by Gal Gadot on the big screen, the lady embodies lots of charm with her strength, and pretty much everybody is anticipating the Wonder Woman sequel, Wonder Woman 1984. This week Empire magazine published …
In our last blog, we reported on Vicky Devika strolling through her local supermarket dressed in a head-to-toe latex outfit. As her “Elusive Rubber Creature” character, the Canadian model/artist/DJ was as much shopping for groceries as attempting to demystify fetish couture to the masses. But there are plenty of people, while not so specifically wardrobe …
Alternate fashionistas/rubber lovers/latex wearers often bring their creativity to unusual heights. We have been part of, as well as have seen, many instances when a fetish wardrobe creator even takes to the public to reveal their latest. The Maxi grocery store in LaSalle, Quebec, was visited this week by one such creative fashionista. Artist, model, …
As much as we expound about latex couture, alternate fashions, superhero wardrobe creations, for yet another blog, we are going to stick to Japan (this will be the last one for a while, I promise). The reason we are presenting three blogs in a row about that fabulous country is in catching-up on some T.V. …
Not that we managed any latex creating while in Tokyo, still, as I explained in our last blog, this trip to Japan was as wonderful as any other I have managed to Asia. In part 1, I mentioned how incredible the food is in Japan. Below you see me with a friend enjoying a freshly-made …
Surfing our business of latex couture creation in the current climate, and enduring, like you all, self-quarantines and social distancing, it’s easy to forget that we visited Tokyo exactly two months ago. We had gone over to visit friends, sight-see (no matter how many times we go, even when I lived there, there is still …
Would any of us be surprised to find some latex, lace, or maybe even a short pleaded skirt in Britney Spears’ closest? Well, this week, we all had a chance to have a look-see what’s hiding in Spears’ back stash when she held a solo, at home, undoubtedly small-scale fashion show on Instagram showing-off some …
Like everyone, we are trying our best to go on with our day in our usual way, rendering costumes and bespoke latex couture. A reasoned response to safety is probably the best any of us can ask for, and as we said in our last blog, we sincerely hope for only the very best of …
The main subjects of two publications that are in the news this week have seen a decidedly long association with alternative fashions, be it leather, lace or latex couture. With both— David Bowie and Playboy—having affected culture in acutely profound ways. Infamous rock photographer Mick Rock was the picture-taker of record during David Bowie’s “Ziggy …
Might a latex accessory help keep one protected from the coronavirus? So far, we have all seen as much disinformation as real science fact thrown far and wide about COVID-19. With panic in the current pandemic fed and fueled in the lightning-fast dissemination of information we have at our fingertips it’s not so easy keeping …
The last Black Widow trailer ‘dropped’ this week and lovers of PVC, rubber clothing, and certainly latex couture (as well as fantasy/comic book film fans) will be thrilled. As we previously mentioned here, there is lots of action as much as there are plenty of cinematic costume treats to anticipate in this film, the first …
There really is nothing quite like a latex party. Fascinating fashionistas, (yes, some kinksters); a bunch of adults looking to be seen and make-a-scene with so many alternative wardrobe-lovers; a good time to show off homemade creations, bespoke items and all manner of chic chic. We love these get-togethers and try to get together to …
It’s not often when reporting on news about or championing latex apparel that we get to blog about a play. Sure, there have been the odd cosplay musical, and plenty of burlesque performances feature wonderful wardrobe pieces (sometimes they even feature latex couture) but generally we don’t get to gush very often over a theatrical …
Who says you can’t wear latex to a ‘formal’ event? We have plenty of alternate haute couture choices in our catalog. And managing a quick look through our wedding collection, anybody can see that we can as much create bespoke latex gowns as provide something ‘off-the-rack’ for that most important of days. As far as …
Even if you only stop by our website from time to time, I’m sure you are familiar with our dedication to latex trouser design (as well as so many other latex wardrobe pieces). Designer Harikrishnan seems to have a penchant for trousers made of our most favorite material, but for the London College Of Fashion’s …
For the past three years preparing the latex wardrobe creations we submit to the World of Wearable Art competition, we are always amazed how quickly the time speeds by. One WOW competition ends, and it seems we are all-too-soon getting some things ready for the next. In keeping us all on the jump of things, we just …
Just as we were tying up the year-end of the latex wardrobe world (and trying to predict what might be coming for 2020) we ran this blog on the Fetish Map, London, issue #10. That chock-full pamphlet for seen-and-be-scenters, kinksters, and even the mildly alternative fashion/event/city curious, had just been released and once again, we found it …
Social media, trending, viral content as much affect politics and culture, as it does our little pocket of the world with latex couture. This week a few trending stories came across our notice of things not precisely being what they seemed to be. First, we came across the news that Kelly Clarkson attended the 2020 …
Here we go ‘round once more with roses, candy, and red latex lingerie. Valentine’s Day 2020 is upon us, and once again, we want to send out all the very best (and some naughty) wishes that everyone gets to enjoy the holiday the way they most wish to. And with the person, they most wish …
This year the haute couture seen at the 92nd Academy Awards was a night of silhouettes over skin and statements woven into style; alas, there were no latex styles on hand. Culture royalty walked the red carpet in their finest frockery, sat adoring one another during the three-hour-plus celebration, and partied the night away (and …
Making the headway we have in latex couture production, as much in fashion circles, as with bespoke orders and in various media, we are tickled pink to report moving ever further costuming for television and movie production. We’re not at liberty to reveal what show it is we are presently working on (you’ll be the …
As we mentioned a few blogs back, the Dawnamatrix Team is presently in Japan, soaking up the culture for life inspiration as much as for our latex couture. In addition to sightseeing and meeting up with friends, we will also be attending the Tokyo International Gift Show (TIGS), where I am actually going to be …
We are thrilled to report that a Dawnamatrix latex accessory is featured in this year’s Vanity Fair’s 2020 Hollywood Issue. With Hollywood notables like Jennifer Lopez, Antonio Banderas, Eddie Murphy, as well as newcomers, photographer Ethan James Green, set designer Julia Wagner and stylist Samira Nasr created another one-of-a-kind work-of-art issue. Shot last fall at …
I’m heading to Tokyo in the next weeks for some fresh inspiration on our latex couture…and life. We’re ready to soak in the Harajuku and cosplay culture, and, as they have in the past, the plum blossoms of early spring will surely greet us with their startling and colorful beauty. Stay tuned for some pictures …
Fantasy fare is once again upon us and we say, ‘Let The Latex Couture Shine!’ The Handmaid’s Tale Season four release date dropped this week. The many fans of Margaret Atwood’s bestselling novel, and the Hulu series launched in 2017 from it, have been waiting on the edge of their seats since season three ended …
In recent months it hasn’t as much been a piece of latex wardrobe or any alternative fashion accessory that has gained trending traction across the web. As to be expected, given the end-of-year-into-the-new Hollywood award season shows, pretty much haute couture is getting the most attention. Shows like The Golden Globes, and the upcoming Oscars …
In trouble again, (and not even from wearing any latex couture), Kendall and Kylie Jenner are seemingly being sued over copyright infringement. According to T.M.Z., design company Klauber Brothers, Inc. claims that there is a Kylie thong panty currently being sold that uses one of Klauber Brother’s lace patterns on its waistband. There is also …
There are ‘influencers’ in every facet of our modern world, from latex clothing to haute couture, to music and film, politics, to just about everything in between and beyond. Celebrities as much as Youtube stars post, earn viewers, cash from corporate sponsors, as much keeping to the pulse of the culture as lending it its …
Although there isn’t even a latex panty in sight, it seems Beyoncé and Amazon are amping-up their entry into fashion retailing for 2020. This first full week of the New Year Miss Bey ‘dropped’ a video of the Ivy Park x Adidas partnership she recently announced in an Elle Magazine piece. In this new promo …
Although we didn’t exactly expect any latex couture across the red carpet of the 77th Golden Globes, some fashion choices are worth noting. And seeing as this was the first true Hollywood see-and-be-scene of the New Year, maybe some of the fashions revealed will point a way ahead…at least for the next few months. We …
In the last few blogs we gave forth, on what passed by us in 2019 and during the past decade, in latex design and fashion culture, in general. It’s certainly a matter of personal conjecture what will hit, what will die, what will circle round again, and what might be coming for the future in …
U.K. latex artist/designer and certainly a world-class educator, Catasta Charisma has released a new manual for our most favorite material, Working with Latex. If you are familiar with Charisma’s other guides, The Compendium of Rubber Garment Making, and his manual for the ultimate latex accessory The Hood, you know this is one fashion artisan who knows well of what …
In our continuing coverage of past couture moments from 2019 and this decade, be they latex couture or not, here are some “fashion statements” and ‘questions’ both. Although we have been known to sell latex thongs, does anyone recall Boohoo.com introducing their “Basic V Neck Ruched Front Thong Bodysuit” this past year? The ‘front thong’ …
Keeping with the theme of important fashion moments and trends of 2019—although this one is not about latex couture—a late-in-the-year entry is making current news. Greta Gerwig’s soon-to-be-released Little Women is being cited as much for its excellent movie story-telling as its relevant fashion. The film’s costume designer, Jacqueline Durran, has employed what is called “prairie trend” style (also …
In her fashion review of Paris haute couture spring lines, reported at the end of January, Venessa Friedman offered this question as her article’s title: Latex at Givenchy and Chaos at Margiela. Is This the New Oscar Dressing? Both houses revealed models walking the famous runway in various latex outfits and accessories. And so, it comes to that …
