Any latex designer worth their shiny stuff would know it can as much be the model, make-up, the location, the outfit and surely the lighting that can make or break a hoped-to-be great latex red-carpet reveal. Luckily in our history we have had all of these facets working in harmony when we have sent a …
We have been to the wonderful Wear Latex site often, to keep up on what’s happening with our favorite textile, what’s being seen across red carpets, runways, events and who is wearing what wear where. At the beginning of this month, Wear Latex ran this wonderful piece about us winning the World of Wearable Art …
As we proudly declared in our last blog, our latex design Tsukumogami won the big daddy Supreme WOW Award last week (as well as the Myths & Legends Section). Ben and I couldn’t be happier. But seeing as we competed against 85 finalist entries created by 100 designers from 17 countries, across 25 awards, we thought …
With the World of Wearable Art show coming next month, and yet another of our latex designs earning a nomination as a finalist (yes, we are bragging a bit), our eyes are peeled more than usual (although they always are) on present world fashion events. And we recently happened across some news about Copenhagen Fashion …
Yes, the World of Wearable Art show is coming around once again (as we recently told you here), and a new Dawnamatrix latex wardrobe entry has made it in as a finalist. This is our 9th WOW entry and the 4th collaborative finalist piece I designed with Ben Gould. Once again, it is an unprecidented …
Awakening, newly premiered at The Wynn in Las Vegas, runs the gambit in costuming, from latex to leather to metals, to a score of other textiles. Reminding us very much of the couture we see when participating in the World of Wearable Art shows, this new big brassy Las Vegas extravaganza is hard to ignore …
The pictures you see here were taken from a Dawnamatrix fashion show a couple of weeks ago, held at the Fralin Museum of Art at the University of Virginia.
As always, there’s lots going on at WOW, beyond just us competing with another of our latex outfits. While the show is stunning, what the presenters manage as much preshow to during it, above and beyond the alternate runaway event, music, and dance, is always top notch and so interesting. Two weeks away now, The …
Assessing what we learn from the pandemic, there are sure to be wholly new designs across the art world that surface. Certainly, latex fashions, cosplay, leather wardrobes, fetish gear will survive the current hiccup in our history in their way. Once again, we thank the World of WearableArt for doing their unique and very best championing this survival.
In the last few blogs we gave forth, on what passed by us in 2019 and during the past decade, in latex design and fashion culture, in general. It’s certainly a matter of personal conjecture what will hit, what will die, what will circle round again, and what might be coming for the future in …
Winning with your latest latex couture creation reaps multiple benefits when that win happens to come at WOW. As we have seen now for the past three years in a row, having competed in the World Of Wearable Art event and come away with awards each time, the New Zealand mainstay global fashion meet maintains a strong …
The attention and accolades we continue to enjoy with our latex outfits winning at WOW are amazing. The links below take you to the latest in World of Wearable Art news where Dawnamatrix was lucky enough to be featured in some way.
For three years in a row, we have been honored to have won awards at WOW and two of those three years, the first and this last one, Ben and I traveled to New Zealand. As we have always found both times visiting, New Zealand is just so wonderful and the capital city, where WOW is held, Wellington, so welcoming to WOW.
At the end of the year most of us come into a reflective mood, as reflective as a beGloss-lubed latex catsuit. Looking to 2019, one can’t help but consider 2018, and in the mix and match-up of what passed in a seeming blur of 12 months, Dawnamatrix has enjoyed another fantastic year. We spread our …
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.
The WOW showcase, entitled, Six Worlds of WOW is the National WOW Museum’s exhibition of finalist garments from the 2017 WOW Awards Show. …our “The Messenger” among them. This is the piece we created with Lana Crooks and with which we took 3rd prize in the WOW “Red” category.
