When one thinks of latex, the image that is conjured up in one's mind is of a dominatrix tightly clad in a black reflective suit with a plunging neckline and strategically placed slits. However, latex has come a long way after first being made famous in adult films.
Traditionally, latex wear has been associated with bondage and fetish. A dominatrix, who is a female that generally takes control in bondage and submission scenarios, is generally clad in latex wear. This is because latex wear holds a special attraction to people due to the fact that it seems like a second skin in many ways.
Now, latex wear has managed break its stereotype as merely a bondage and fetish accessory, and has moved in to the world of high fashion. Tim Soar, a fashion designer based in London, put a new twist on latex wear for his Autumn / Winter 2009 collection.
He used latex in a whole new way, creating stylish jackets with strategically placed buckles and slim cut pants that seem to accentuate the wearer's height. Soar is not the only fashion designer who has noticed the power of latex wear to create a unique collection. Heidi Pulkinnen, a fashion designer based in Berlin, is a fan of latex and uses it a lot in her Savage Wear collection.
Latex is now one of the hottest trends in the fashion scene. Out with your leggings, tights and cold shoulder tops, and bring in a sexy pair of latex pants. There are also many celebrities who have started donning latex and even begun their own line of latex wear. So, look hot this summer: invest in a pair of latex tights and bustier to ensure that all eyes will be following you and your every move.
