From Bowie To Reznor, Fashion Always Rocks

Celebrating David Bowie for what would have been his 74th birthday, Trent Reznor, of NIN fame (a rabid Bowie fan), participated with a bunch of other notables in the “A David Bowie Celebration: Just For One Day!” A clip from that show of Reznor, Atticus Ross, the Bowie alumni band (Mike Garson, Carlos Alomar, Gery Leonard, Mark Plati, Sterling Campbell and Catherine Russell) and Reznor’s wife Maandig Reznor recreating Bowie’s song “Fashion,” was ‘dropped’ at the beginning of this week.

Getting Into The Ring With Scarlett Bordeaux

As of this week, both Karrion Kross and Scarlett were back in their domain. For the uninitiated, both haven’t been seen on the program since the end of summer when Kross was forced off the NXT Championship due to an injury

Stardust Trailer Drops

The thing about David Bowie we must all remember is what a trend ‘pusher’ he was. Flirting with andrology as much in what he wore as in how he conducted himself, he was quite the controversial character.

Megan Thee Stallion’s Non-Stop Latex Assault

Latex lovers have so much to thank our modern-day divas for. We’ve been reporting for quite a few years how Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, and Katy Perry have been rockin’ latex couture (sometimes wearing Dawnamatrix latex pieces) seemingly every time they step out.

Hooray For The MET!

In light of COVID-19’s shutdown, nobody much imagined they’d see the usual array of latex couture, wild lace and leather creations, and all the other fantastic wardrobe usually associated with the yearly Met Ball. But this year, even without our best and brightest celebrities showing up to show off, the famous Metropolitan Museum of Art …

Dissecting The Sexy Fashions, Lyric and Look Of Cardi B’s “WAP”

As mentioned in our last blog, we will explore all the latex couture, candy-colored bodysuits, animal prints, bouncing décolleté, golden sculptures of butts and breasts, and guest stars in Cardi B’s new video for her song “WAP.” The Colin Tilley-directed clip opens with the camera taking us through a gate and past naked female ‘fountains’ …

Fake Marilyn Monroe Still Sells

We all know how important it is to accessorize with our latex couture. Gloves, some metal jewelry, or even a mask (especially a mask these days) can add just the right finishing touches to the look we are going for. This week (tomorrow 7/22, actually) accessories of quite a historical significance, owned by Marilyn Monroe, …

Wonder Woman Gets Even Sweeter

We don’t often, (if we ever do), think of candy when wiggling into our latex couture, do we? If anything, we are probably bemoaning what we should not have eaten when stepping out wearing our favorite wardrobe pieces. But candy company SweeTARTS® has come up with a sweet new connection to a cool fashion, centered around one …

Hamilton Trailer Drops With Lots Of ‘Revolutionary’ Couture

The action of this particular play takes place years ago, so we don’t have any hope of latex couture in its onstage wardrobe. But one can still marvel over the costumes, as much as the music and history lesson, of Hamilton. And one can marvel all over Lin-Manuel Miranda’s hit creation with Disney + releasing the …

Chloe x Halle Certainly Know How To Rock Their Latex

Talk about salivating over latex couture! We dare you to happen round the new Chloe x Halle video “Forgive Me,” and not have to catch your collective, alternative fashionista breath. The Hailey sisters dropped their super-hot, super-costume-cool video last week, coinciding with the release of their latest album, Ungodly Hour. As much a statement of female …

Will The Real Kendall Jenner Please Stand Up

Admittedly, we are used to the various Jenner-Kardashians sparking the blog o’ sphere by stepping out in latex couture, making news with their multiple brands…just being themselves. This week Kendall Jenner managed to ‘step out’ in some interesting ways, and one wasn’t exactly her. With the recent unfortunate events in Minneapolis and the protests raised …

In Britain The Mini Skirt Endures

Although there was no latex couture mentioned, according to a brand-new UK poll, denim jackets, knee-high boots, and even the classic leather biker jacket made a top ten list of most iconic fashion trends. What was #1? The mini skirt. In this study published at The Sun, two thousand British folks were asked to list …

Waiting For The Black Widow

The last Black Widow trailer ‘dropped’ this week and lovers of PVC, rubber clothing, and certainly latex couture (as well as fantasy/comic book film fans) will be thrilled. As we previously mentioned here, there is lots of action as much as there are plenty of cinematic costume treats to anticipate in this film, the first …

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 …

Where OUR LATEX Kimono Began

As we mentioned a few blogs back, the Dawnamatrix Team is presently in Japan, soaking up the culture for life inspiration as much as for our latex couture.

Stay tuned for some pictures …

The Handmaid’s Tale & Harley Quinn…So Inspiring

Kendall + Kylie Do It Again ?

In trouble again, (and not even from wearing any latex couture), Kendall and Kylie Jenner are seemingly being sued over copyright infringement. According to T.M.Z., design company Klauber Brothers, Inc. claims that there is a Kylie thong panty currently being sold that uses one of Klauber Brother’s lace patterns on its waistband. There is also …

2019 Fashions, Part 2: The Couture Relevancy Of Greta Gerwig’s ‘Little Women’

Keeping with the theme of important fashion moments and trends of 2019—although this one is not about latex couture—a late-in-the-year entry is making current news. Greta Gerwig’s soon-to-be-released Little Women is being cited as much for its excellent movie story-telling as its relevant fashion. The film’s costume designer, Jacqueline Durran, has employed what is called “prairie trend” style (also …

In her fashion review of Paris haute couture spring lines, reported at the end of January, Venessa Friedman offered this question as her article’s title: Latex at Givenchy and Chaos at Margiela.

John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John: Grease Couture Redux

Although neither was wearing any latex couture, still, we can’t ignore that the costumes John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John wore at the finale of Grease iconic. In their matching leather jackets and John’s stunning (and tight) black silk leggings, when “Sandy” surprises “Danny” at the school fair at the end of the movie, she hits back at …

T.V. Costuming This Week: Mrs. Maisel & Jennifer Lopez

We can’t report on any latex couture managing center cultural stage this week. But with the return of Netflix’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and what Jennifer Lopez revealed on her 3rd SNL hosting, there was still plenty to consider in the world of T.V. costuming. Costume designer Donna Zakowska has had her hands full with pretty and …

Savage x Fenty Premiers on Amazon Prime

Although we all certainly love or latex couture, one might not miss seeing our most favorite material in all that Rihanna gives us with her new Savage x Fenty collection. At the recent New York Fashion Week, Rihanna presented a dance-led show for her fashion line at the Barclay’s Center in Brooklyn.

Celebrating Photographer Icon Peter Lindbergh

Although more in the mainstream fashion world than the alternate couture one, famed photographer Peter Lindbergh, who died this week, captured all there was of clothes, the people who wore them, and even the times more than most of his contemporaries.

Taking our “Medicine” from Jennifer Lopez

As we well know, one person’s risqué is another person’s every day latex couture. Calling one thing ‘sexy’ or even ‘alternative’ is undoubtedly an eye-of-the-beholder distinction, but one might say that the brand new Jennifer Lopez video for her song “Medicine,” is rather damn hot…and reveals an amazing array of wild costumes.

Good Old Alt. Couture At The 2019 Grammys

All good things do indeed come to those who wait where latex couture and alternate wardrobe is concerned. This past Sunday the 2019 Grammys finally gave us what we have been hoping for in a prominent entertainment industry award show, lots of exciting wardrobe designs and wild textile art to salivate over.

Super Bowl LIII Couture?

One of the wildest spots and surely a crossover nobody saw coming was the marriage of Bud Light and “Game of Thrones.” Meeting in a jousting pitch, the Bud Knight was murdered last night by the GoT’s character “The Mountain.” If that wasn’t shocking (and hilarious) enough, all of the commercial’s spectators were burned to a crisp at the end by a dragon.

Angel Tears, Shawn Mendes and a $1 Million Bra

Also on hand were sisters Gigi and Bella Hadid (who did not walk last year) Lima, Elsa Hosk, Candice Swanepoel, Jasmine Tookes and many others. The lingerie and outfits the ladies modeled ranged from Gigi in floral tights, bra, shoes and a parachute-like floral train. In fact, quite often the models wore float-y, in some cases, even inflatable ‘banners,’ as much as wings this night.

What They Wore At The AMA’s

Taylor Swift came in a Balmain long-sleeve, high-neck reflective mini-dress with matching thigh highs boots. Tyra Banks sported a dress shirt, wide black belt (almost a cummerbund actually) and a Gucci red fringe skirt. Dua Lipa was in a classic floor-length white gown with pleaded train. And Cardi B, as we would expect, was dressed in an eye-catching ensemble. She wore a matching floral hat and slit dress with spaghetti straps. Hers was certainly one of the more colorful wardrobe choices of the evening

Dawnamatrix Wins At WOW…Again!

Once again latex couture is being celebrated. For the 2nd year in a row, Dawnamatrix has won prizes and placement in The WORLD OF WEARABLE ART competition, and we are beside ourselves with the honor.
