We certainly have seen latex used in athletic clothing, now called “Athleisure Wear.” But with adidas’ new relaunch of their latex clothing line, anyone into wearing latex for their workout need to take notice.
And maybe spend a few dollars.
Available only in the US presently, and only in their Women’s Original collection, what the German athletic wear company is presently featuring are essential pieces showing their iconic adidas triple stripe logo/branding, with the adidas familiar double color piping around the wardrobe’s neck and sleeve. The pieces the sportswear designer has released right now include latex bodysuits, leggings, and tops.
More are surely to be coming in this latex sports wardrobe rollout.
Will this latex leisure/athletic wear concept catch fire with athletes as much as the everyday fashionista? Who knows? There is surely something to be said for working/hanging out in latex. However, the above adidas latex couture comes to play out, we do know our favorite textile continues to rate all across the cultural map.
And while you get deep into your sit-ups, take a peek into what German band Original Sin is up to with our favorite textile.
The band’s new “Digital Dolls” video, featuring a sound intermixing guitar and electronics, is made startlingly visual by what the band’s lead singer Kira Sinister is wearing set front and center of the action. The Hamburg-based band, which used to be known by the name Sündenrausch, recently re-branded (or underwent a “re-birth” as lead singer Kira Sinister says) and in their new incarnation Original Sin, it seems the band is throwing off their more Goth/darker sensibilities.
What Sinister is dressed in—a latex bolero, bra, and skirt, and accessorizing with latex gloves—adds a whole new style to the group,
Enjoy the music, and the latex, in the new clip.
From workout jackets to sexy music costuming for onstage performances and video clips, once again we are assured, that latex is surely everywhere.
As well it should be.
