Latex kids clothes in street ads

Siri Tollerød in pink latex stockingsUpdate 2008-12-10 @14:27:03: Added commercial (video)

I noticed this “Harajuku Lovers” poster featuring Norwegian model Siri Tollerød in De Bijenkorf in Amsterdam.

I like these “typical kids clothes”: pink latex stockings, pink latex girdle, latex bows, latex mittens (on another poster), high heels and white shirt. Latex for everyone! Yooohhhoooo!!! ;-D

And guess, what happens next?

Note the latex knee highs, Selina blogged about them a while back. I want them. Source

Yes, it bloody works 😉

Kova & T latex clothing (Oxy leggings, etc)

Kova & T latex Oxy leggings and unitardYeah, latex… Of course… Genuine 80% nylon/20% spandex “latex” made by Kova&T founded by Dasha Zhukova (Даша Жукова, new wife of Roman Abramovich) and Christina Tang. Their clothes product line consists of simple and comfortable things like t-shirts, (skin tight) jeans, mini-dresses. Soft, flexible (in all senses), a bit oversized (not the legware) and yet again comfortable to wear everywhere. Nothing extraordinary, but there is one famous feature in their collections – shiny wetlook lycra/spandex. Or as “called by many” for some reason – latex.

Latex Oxy leggings (spotted on Nicky Hilton, Ashley Olsen, Mischa Barton, Kate Moss and “many others”), latex Loree unitard (yes, unitard!!! see the photo below), latex high waisted shorts, latex high wasted skirt and latex bags can be bought here on eBay. Note the word “latex”.

Indeed, if you (quite understandably) don’t want to wear genuine latex stuff, go wetlook lycra. It will not be cheaper, though (See also Part I and Part II. But definitely more practical and almost as “fetishy” and sexy (from some distance) as latex (Click here to check the price).

Latex dress in Vidal Sassoon ads

Look at the picture closely. The model is wearing a thin transparent lace printed latex dress!

The photo can be found on the Vidal Sasoon website under Salon|Professional -> Chimera|Autumn Winter 2008

Unfortunately the picture is very small. Does anybody have a bigger photo or a scanned poster?

Crazy fashion: latex catsuit + fur +

Алена Османова Alyona Osmanova in latex catsuit and fur+ “pony-girl boots” by Antonio Berardi (horseshoes are definitely missing here).

As I wrote in Mahret’s diary the fashion industry is out of fresh ideas, the amount of fashion houses is shrinking, even Russian people (the crisis is everywhere) begin to spend less on fashion items. Practicality, durability and good price/quality ratio vs. epatage, the latest crazy priced ultra fashionable stuff, big labels and shiny glamour magazines. The first easily wins, what makes the not-happy Big Fashion Names invent something (though, not revolutionary) “new” every season.

What can be less practical than a latex catsuit? Probably those heel-less fetish-comics-like pony-girl boots (Victoria Beckham was spotted wearing them). On the other hand, the designers managed to keep latex and fur in natural harmony and create a jaw-dropping utterly fetish and at the same time nearly perfect looking and tranquil (strange combination of extremely sexual latex and tranquility, isn’t it?) … style(?) image(?)

And yes, please more such clothes to the streets 😉

I wonder what the next step would be …

Aurora in weird zentaiAssuming you know what zentai is, what can astonish you? I’ve seen zentai suits made out of different materials of different colours with different coatings. But Billy and Aurora (in my humble opinion) have done something unbelievable… Very complex and thoroughly thought out design on one hand and very harmonic, easy too look at and yet extremely provocative “image” on the other.

Google Trends – Latex Leggings

Some things are predictable. E.g. leggings will be (already are) back. Or, for example,  people will be wearing latex. Check, for example, this post.  And it looks like latex indeed is making its way into everyday clothes. Just watch this video (you don’t need to speak German to understand what they are talking about):

So, we are getting there!
