Ready-to-wear latex, fashion and Hussein Chalayan

Hussein Chalayan latex dressesThis guy is fantastic. He uses latex very smartly. But if in one of his previous collections latex stockings could be theoretically replaced with metallic lycra ones, no other material can replace molded latex in Hussein’s Spring Summer 2009 pret-a-porte. It’s just not possible. Only rubber can be used to create these aerodynamic dresses. Moreover, latex is pretty invisible here, it looks like fabric (hand-painted with images of crashed cars), it looks like thin light airy material despite the heavy boning and centimeters thick layers. No shine. Latex as the media not as the goal.

White pantyhose, Aurora and Billy or
your fetish and your partner

Aurora encased in white pantyhose and BillyIt happened exactly 3 years ago: Billy and Aurora – a famous fetish pair married on April 1, 2006. Fortunately, it was not a joke, two happy inspiring fetishists indeed united. 😉 All the best guys!!!

Speaking of “partner involvement in your fetish” I bet they have something to tell Young Aurora in latex (as far as I remember it all began when Aurora was ~14 or 16 yo ;-P she did not disclose the age here), but probably they won’t. So, you may let your imagination soar.

(Fetish?) fashion, latex leggings and Dasha Zhukova

Dasha Zhukova in latex leggings

What would you do if you want something (e.g. to wear) but you can’t find it anywhere? To make things easier (e.g to widen the limits considerably) let’s assume that you are a son/daughter/wife/lover of an oil magnate.

The correct answer is to start manufacturing what you can’t find “on the shelves”. This is what Dasha Zhukova did. As I have already mentioned (here) Kova & T label is founded by her and Christina Tang (see the photo below).

And how to promote your products? Just wear them! Isn’t it why you started making them? 😉 Below you can find Dasha wearing her “latex” stuff, and to make the post more interesting I’ve added some pantyhose, mini skirts, high heels and more Russian celebrities.

Kova & T latex-looking clothes can be bought, for example, here.

Latex, Pret-a-Porte (Ready-to-Wear) and Hussein Chalayan- part 1

Haute couture and heavy rubber have definitely something in common. At least one thing – no relation to the everyday life. The percentage of the exceptions are far outside of the (Gaussian) standard deviation (pun intended 🙂

In other words, how can you introduce latex into your street, office, casual, evening clothes? Let’s ask professionals!

In his fall 2007 collection Hussein Chalayan showed that latex stockings and latex leggings can be worn with pretty much everything and look neither pervy nor freaky. The models were wearing the latex garment made by Atsuko Kudo throughout the whole show. Notice the absence of ugly folds you can find on cheap stuff many people complain about. If you want to wear latex in public – look for quality. The downside is – the quality is expensive.

See 46 photo and a video below.

Despite anything, the collection looks quite wearable. At least I would wear that!

Business trip. Night 4. Playing in the bathroom. Part II

Man in swimsuit shiny pantyhose latex hood in showerSee part I

Here’s the next series of photos. Now with some liquid soap. Soap is not just a fantastic lubricant but it also adds the thinnest shiny slippery film to the picture. A fetish on itself it perfectly complements any lycra or latex outfit.

Probably only J-Lube can compete with soap on the effect (not on the availability, though 😉
