The 2023 Met Gala

And while stars like Halle Bailey, Karen Elson, Rita Ora, and surely Rachel Brosnahan went with the naked dress look, the absolute winner in showing themselves off has to be Lil Nas X.

And So, The 65th Grammy’s

Lastly, and arguably the most arresting look of the night, was Sam Smith and Kim Petras walking in their blood-red Valentino.

UK Fetish Awards Post Event Roundup

Dipping our toes back into alt. fashion get-togethers (pretty much getting back together in general) and party happenings in a post-Covid world, those at the UK Fetish Awards gathering were well supported by known brands/producers on the scene.

Taylor Moves Swiftly Through Some Amazing Couture

In light of all this recent Swiftian news, we might see it as ironic that it’s just been announced that Kayne West has been dropped by Adidas over some remakes, he said and has been showing across what he has worn.

Blackpink: Style and Sound

We can all catch Blackpink in what will surely prove to be some stunning stage costumes at the MTV awards on August 28th.

BALENCIAGA/Stock Exchange/Latex

A bunch of models, covered pretty much head-to-toe in latex bodysuits, were featured in a see-and-be-scene above and beyond even the most creative haute couture fashion show locations

Moon Knight!

Marc Spector/aka Moon Knight, suffers from multiple personality disorders and other mental illnesses and in the comics about him, his costumes have mirrored that fracture.

New Year, New Styles, New Latex?

At Dawnamatrix, we’ve upgraded our laser cutter, so we look forward to showing you a new collection in 2022, and as always, we are always looking to reach out beyond and above all we can imagine.

“The Batman” Trailer Teases

Let the PVC, leather, latex, and armor loose: the new “The Batman” trailer teases us with actions scenes, car crashes, cell phones, and most importantly, more costumes details from the latest movie in the Dark Knight franchise.

Adele Across The Vogue Pond

In what is being called a “transatlantic takeover,” Adele wears a green Maison Valentino gown with a sweeping train, with oversized sleeves on her American Vogue cover. On her

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.

Most Recent Photoshoots With Some Very Talented Folks

Indeed, we have had and will always seek models, photographers, fashion shows, and really any showing of our latex clothing featuring the beautiful colors we work with. But there is truly something so rich and stylish with black and white photography.

Nicki Minaj Breaks The Net In Her Jibbitz Crocs

Minaj has such star-power influence that her post saw Croc sales rise by 4,900 % and caused the shoe brand’s website to shut down. While the phrases “pink Crocs” and “Nicki Minaj Crocs” instantly became trending searches on Google.

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”

Last week Megan Thee Stallion shared some damn sexy photos across Instagram (although none of them of her in latex) alongside her announcement of the release date of her debut album. The Houston rapper follows-up her EP “Suga” with her first full-length music release today, called Good News, and indeed the haute couture she wore in …

A Happy Dawnamatrix Halloween

With the ultimate dress-up day a mere four days away, let’s consider, latex couture and your Halloween dressing-up.

mourning Chadwick Boseman

Chadwick Boseman, known for starring in the movies, 42, Get on Up and of course, playing King T’Challa in Black Panther, died this week at the age of 43

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. Always working her curves into stunning alternative looks and sexy styles, on the most recent episode of HBO Max’s “Legendary,” the 25-year old singer, actually ‘upped’ her A-game. For the H.B.O. 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

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 …

“Working with Latex” from Catasta Charisma

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 …

It came down to great cosplay (latex and otherwise), attendees enjoying a deep nerd groove and al of us checking out such cool stuff from the world of fantasy and science fiction: DragonCon 2019.

Jennifer Lopez Hustles in NYC

What the net has been buzzing about this past week is the array of outfits J.Lo has been seen in, while walking from her trailer to the streets NYC while filming her new movie Hustlers.

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).

Taylor Swift Plays Fashionably With Her Reputation

A pop star need be forever challenging both their music and style and Taylor Swift seems to have been able to reinvent herself time and again, change music styles from country to pop to even sprinkling in some rap and she’s wearing some great stuff doing it.

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.
