Reading this fashion news post today: EBay Acquires Depop from Etsy for $1.2 Billion, made me think of something I wonder often: where are people buying latex these days? As you’d be able to tell with even a cursory read of this blog, we enjoy a healthy competition with our fellow latex designers and retailers. …
It took us some time to wiggle out of our latex corset, take a deep breath, and really consider the death of legendary fashion icon, Giorgio Armani. Armani died on September 4th at the age of 91, and below we lovingly consider the man with what we hope is a fitting tribute a few weeks …
Once again, we can proudly say there has been a bunch of recent latex couture sightings…. The annual BRIT Awards, celebrating the UK music industry, delivered a bunch of celebs in wonderful latex couture. There was YouTube personality/author/presenter Nikki Lilly in a strapless red maxi latex dress festooned with rhinestones and single leg slit, exuding …
Known as much for her music, iconic video dance moves, a live TV moment that incurred the FCC’s wrath, and costumes and couture that runs the gambit from latex to lace to everything in between, it’s no wonder that Janet Jackon’s new Las Vegas residency is making news. The two-hour-plus show, playing at Resorts World, …
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?
rable in a way trad. corsets simply can’t be (not that there is anything wrong with a corset made from satin, leather, silk brocade, or any other material); the way in which a latex corset hugs the body makes it unique.
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.
Considering all the serious stuff we are currently living through and the fact that Heidi Klum has a bottom that most people don’t mind seeing in any stage of dress (or undress) the fact that she’s taken to this flashing with such aplomb made the moment endearing.
Although she does indeed look splendid wearing one, rest assured not only a Kourtney Kardashian looks good when wearing a latex corset.
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. And even though the latest spate of superhero movies might …
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.
