So, let’s catch up on who wore what for Halloween…latex or not. Attempting to steal the Queen of Halloween crown from Heidi Klum (who we will get to in a minute) let’s first consider Kim Kardashian in her full albino alligator costume (see here). Wrapped in an all-white fitted scaly suit, her head sculpted in …
It’s not just some wardrobe malfunction or a latex corset possibly fitting too tight that can bring a live show to a halt or a performer an embarrassing moment.
The shine, the pucker, the crinkle, the cut, and even some sure reflection. Really, what could be better than the visual component latex?

Indeed, the costumers, actors, and those cosplayers playing with Regencycore are not likely to pick a latex corset if they are looking for a true historical read on their sartorial choices.
For Minnie’s McCartney pantsuit, the designer has designed a blue tuxedo, made from what she assures us are “responsibly sourced fabrics.”
Although interesting, Malfunction: The Dressing Down of Janet Jackson didn’t really get to the why’s and who’s of the malfunction and if the costume tearing was an accident or staged.

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.

The UK’s Victoria and Albert Museum seems to think lingerie is important just as we do. They are devoting their new Undressed: A Brief History Of Underwear exhibit to a semi-chronological, heavily-themed display of unmentionables for the next year. In sections titled “Health and Hygiene” “Performance Underwear; and Support: Bras and Girdles” and many others, this very famous London museum’s attendees get to enjoy a multi-floor exploration of undergarment fashions and body image concerns of the past (and really, nothing reveals how we feel about our bodies then what we make to wear so very close to them). Dress designers and ‘reformers’ are highlighted as well as the inventors and innovators who played a role in the furthering of designs that increased our comfort and the durability of our undergarments through the decades.
