Rob Zombie Reveals His Munsters
It seems we can trust Rob Zombie with latex, prosthetics, and costuming. If the rock star/horror movie director’s recent postings are any indication, his upcoming big-screen reboot of “The Munters” might just be the most fantastic spin on a 60’s sitcom to movie ever.

Ok, so now we know what they were wearing at the 2021 academy awards
One could pine for the shows of old, genial hosts telling silly running jokes, and over-the-top over-long musical number, maybe a music star wearing some lace or latex couture, but the 2021 Academy Awards wasn’t anything like shows of old.
Al Might Be Napping, But The Styles Didn’t Disappoint at the 78th Golden Globe Awards
Although Cynthia Erivo’s shoes were, without a doubt, fantastic, alternative, and probably more than slightly dangerous to walk in, Laura Dern certainly brought her A-game when it came to her shoe wear. Wearing a tailored Givenchy pantsuit/tux, the Twin Peaks/Big Little Lies actress accessorized in pumps with sharp pointy toes and metallic silver studs all around them.
Megan Thee Stallion SPREADS “GOOD NEWS”

Trying to Hold On To Megan Thee Stallion
Megan Thee Stallion is a performer who’s been wowing us all with her wardrobe choices of late, from latex, to leather, to lingerie.

Max …
Sara Blakely And The Great Wedding Dress Share
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 …
Dawnamatrix In Tokyo, 2020-Part 1
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 …
Having a great (and oh so colorful) time @ The Texas Latex Party
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 …
Getting Intimate Over “Intimate Apparel”
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 …
Couture and Statements At The 92nd Academy Awards

Style, Cool, And A Fair Amount Of Leather: The Life & Times Of The Original Bandit, Burt Reynolds
Burt Reynolds’ unprecedented string of hit movies in the late 70’s and early 80’s—Smokey and the Bandit, The End, The Cannonball Run, Sharky’s Machine, to name a few—truly made him a superstar. In the early 90’s Reynolds rejuvenated his career by starring in CBS’s sitcom Evening Shade (for which he won his Emmy) and further enjoyed his ‘comeback’ starring as porn director “Jack Horner” in 1997’s Boogie Nights (for which he won a Golden Globe and was nominated or an Oscar).

Celebrating Memorial Day With Rihanna’s Savage x Fenty
Although we have caught her sporting sporting gear or latex-like couture from Alexander Vauthier for a trip to the Grammies, who would have thought we’d be lucky enough to catch Rihanna in so much lingerie? At the beginning of this month the singer ‘dropped’ her new Savage x Fety line and it includes 90 pieces of lingerie, sleepwear, and accessories, as well as four core collections.
2018 Billboard Music Awards: Fashion, Inside and Out
Whether walking the red carpet or performing sadly we must report that there was very little, if any at all, latex couture seen at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards held last Sunday. Hailing from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas this year, and seeing as this was a culture pop event we had hope that a celeb or two might lean towards wearing a catsuit or some other wardrobe piece we could consider in our wheel house. But alas they kept to haute couture designers, free of any truly unusual textiles, in what they wore coming in to the show and even when on stage.

Latex couture and sexy striking music videos, has there ever been a better marriage? Here is a still and the link to the video “Porcelain Doll,” by the band Opium Ink that just dropped this week.

Israel Adesanya Wears a Flower
MMA fighter Israel Adesanya, certainly a walking/talking/fighting example of culturally accepted macho-ness, is featured in the new campaign for Karen Walker’s “Monumental” line. In advertisements for Walker’s glasses, Adesanya wears a bunch of different styles (some of a more feminine stripe) with and without a shirt; a flower tucked behind his ear in every shot.
Dawnamatrix Rising
In an interview by Abby Luschei, in a piece called “The Rising Of Dawn”, I give forth on all I can about the specific sexy haute couture I make and how I first came to make it. We as much cover how one can spice up their wardrobe, tackle the concept of what fetish fashion is and get into my studying kimono fashions when I lived and taught in Japan. Being a Seattle-based magazine, Abby also got my take on living and working here in the great Northwest of the U.S.
Wardrobe Fails, Controversial Sneakers and Valentine Treats from the 2018 Winter Olympics Couture
The Norwegians have previously worn all sorts of patterned trousers but this color concoction display was special.
Not outdoing the Norwegians in color, Mexico’s Olympics skiers have adorned their black suits with skulls. Six time Olympic Mexico skier Hubertus Von Hohenlohe was inspired from his home country’s Dia de los Muertos holiday, to create these uniforms.

Sans Pants Across The World
Conflicting accounts put the origins of this unusual communal occurrence at a Texas college campus decades ago when students decided to ‘drop trou’ in celebration of their end-of-the-year finals. Still, others put the blame on the Texas-based humor organization the Knighthood of BUH. Whoever is responsible for starting the tradition it seems to have originated in the Lone Star State and despite its humorous humble beginnings, NPD grew so much through the 90’s that it became a country-wide holiday by the beginning of the 21st century.
After The Met Gala
This year’s theme for the Met Gala was “Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons,” celebrating the famous designer to be featured in this year’s Met museum exhibit. The last time the Met featured an exhibit at the museum focusing on a living designer was with Yves Saint Laurent …back in 1983. The Met Gala, what has been called by many “The East Coast Oscars,” marks the opening night of the museum’s exhibit, with the money from the party-tickets priced at what only celebrities could afford-gathered to keep the Met going.
