Found this Steampunk inspired latex outfit with gear sprockets on Flickr today. The outfit is made with three different metallic latex colors and comes with a matching utility belt and helmet. The photo was taken by Kat Bret is for Madame S web catalogue.

Steampunk is a subgenre of fantasy and speculative fiction that came into prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s. The term denotes works set in an era or world where steam power is still widely used—usually the 19th century, and often set in Victorian era England—but with prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy, such as fictional technological inventions like those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne.

I stumbled across some very nice latex crafting videos from MJ Trends while I was catching up on latex news at |R|ubberist.net. There are three dealing with latex on the site - How to make a basic seam; How to make a curved latex seam; and Latex care guide. (The other one, Differences between fabric types, is especially handy to send to that coworker who keeps calling your pretty latex vinyl!)

The videos are great for anyone considering starting a latex project, because it's so much easier to explain something like gluing a seam in moving pictures instead of text, or even still images. While these videos won't tell you how to draft a latex pattern or how to craft a perfect hood, they will get you started on the basics needed before you can master anything more complicated.

Of course, all the materials shown in the videos are available on MJ Trends' site, and since they don't have a minimum for ordering latex, it's an excellent site for beginners to latex crafting, especially the thousands living in the Americas.

Did you notice the cute girl with the little latex tie in the "How to make a curved latex seam" video? That's latex fetish model Miss Mosh!

For more in-depth tutorials on latex clothing constuction, care and crafting, visit |R|ubberist.net's forums, MJ Trends' latex forum, and Live Journal's Latex Crafters Community where the knowledge is free, and the advice comes fast.

The Big Guys have been busy this summer creating exciting new latex fashions for their hungry market. Check out some of the highlights below:

House of Harlot has added several new styles to their range, and some new sexy numbers to their Torture Garden line. Among the best, an elaborate new military jacket and very modern looking cocktail dress for the TG range, and a saucy bra and panty set for House of Harlot.

HW Design has scads of clever new items this month, including several elaborate dresses, an adorable puffy long skirt, and something very clever--a corset with interchangeable panels! Corset 05 appears at first glance to be a standard issue tight-lacing HW corset, but the front panels zip away, allowing the wearer to replace them with another pattern or color, so it's like 2 or 3 corsets in one.

Simon O has added some sexy swimsuits to his line, as well as several different styles of leggings, including some very cute stirrup leggings. There were also some decent sales going on in the online shop when I last visited.

Next week we'll introduce you to some new labels and up and coming designers. Until then, stay shiny!

Today, I came across some cool scans of a old latex fashion catalog from INN-SKIN, a latex vendor that existed back in the 70'ties. I took the scans and generated a flash version of the catalog. Originally the catalog came as individual pages for a ring binder, as INN-SKIN wanted to be able to update or add pages easily.

It's funny and enlightening to flip through the catalog as it gives an interesting view into the history of latex fashions. Some of the over 30 years old styles looks hilarious today, wile others haven't changed much.

The styling of the old photos is really funny! My favorites are:

• Climbing in trees wearing a latex catsuit - page 13!
  
• Super stylish Chinaman latex outfit - page 15!
  
• Lying in front of the open fireplace in latex - page 20!
  
• Having the gang over for a latex picnic/barbecue - page 21!

I haven't been able to find much about INN-SKIN, so please leave a comment if you know anything about the company, who owned it, how long did it exist, and so on.

Open the INN-SKIN catalog in full screen.

This week we'll focus on some of the exciting fashion coming out of America, with four classically trained designers who choose to work in latex.

Vex Clothing has been on the scene for several years by now, and has made quite a name with their custom designs worn by everyone like KumiMonster, RubberDoll, Emily Marilyn, Masumi Max and our own 3XL. The lines are a creative mix of fetish and fashion, using uncommon to fetish color combinations and techniques. They've recently moved into larger quarters. Visitors to Chicago can now find Laura and company (by appointment only!) at 6053 W. Montrose Ave. Chicago, IL 60634.

If you haven't already signed up for Vex's newsletter, now's the time to do it so you won't miss the official launch of their new menswear line, which promises to be a very exciting for fetish guys.


Betty La Bamba is a talented designer working out of New York City. For several years now she's had an eBay store where you can purchase her well made latex separates and accessories. You can also buy Betty La Bamba latex at her spiffy new Etsy store.

Be sure and check out Betty's latex, fetish and fashion blog too, where you'll find scans of older fetish/BDSM magazines and lots of other shiny stuff of interest.

Lots of great things are coming Renee Masoomian's way since we last visited her. Renee was recently nominated for best newcomer at the 2008 European Fetish Awards, and she'll be presenting a selection of her designs at Torture Garden's Skin Two Night in September.

There are two ranges--Baby Love's Latex, a vintage-inspired pin-up line, and Soliloquy, her higher end range of custom made pieces. The custom made line really impressed me! Here Jade Vixen is wearing a transparent pink latex suit with ruffles.

You may remember Maggie Delena Designs from an earlier post. Recently I checked out their eBay store, where there were several lovely womens pieces. It also looks like a menswear line is to be launched in the very near future!

So, there you have it: 4 great labels destined to dispel that tired old notion that nothing exciting comes out of America anymore.

Until next week!

Brighton photographer and filmmaker Mark Bennet of Alchemical Shadows has posted an exciting video he filmed of HW Design's catwalk show at Torture Garden's 2008 birthday blowout.

The video which features a stunning array of printed transparent leopard print corsets, coats, capes, catsuits, hoods and more on an all-star fetish model cast may help console those of us who were not lucky enough to be at the actual event.

There's been an influx of very talented designers entering the latex market these days. We really appreciate the new life they're bringing to our old fetish gear, and we'll highlight some of the newest and most promising ones as we learn of them.

Today we'll introduce you to three relative newcomers: Trés Bonjour Luxury Couture Latex from Berlin, HMS Latex of Paris, and Lickorish Latex from the UK.

Trés Bonjour Couture Latex is the young designer Viola Jaeger of Berlin's ultra feminine new line. Her black and white creations are reminiscent of Absolute Danny's sophisticated separates and Atsuko Kudo's feminine classics. The site is one of the prettiest latex clothing sites I've encountered, with its lovely lace details and pink ribbon touches. It's also highly functional, which is not always the case with latex clothes sites!

Standouts for me included her feminine bodies and pencil skirt variations. I also appreciate the use of elegant non-fetish shoes to showcase her timeless styles, and the obvious care that's gone into creating durable and well made fashion.

It seems like the handcraft site, Etsy.com has become a preferred venue for start-up latex designers now that eBay has upped their selling costs and implemented rather puritanical listing policies. I like Etsy, it just looks more polished and it feels much more like the nice shopping experience we all like to have online.

There are 2 designers on Etsy to check out, especially for their clever accessories and fair prices, for those times when you don't have an unlimited budget or room on the Visa card. The first, Lickorish Latex, is a line designed by a nice English couple up north in Huddersfield, which focuses primarily on exquisite accessories.

Often old latex separates just need a couple of standout accessories to give new life to old favorites. Why not add some bow hair clips and a pair of corset suspenders/braces? At these prices, you'll have money left over for a couple of long stemmed roses for your sweetheart! What has also impressed me about Lickorish Latex is their classy packaging and very attentive customer service. (Note to retail boutiques: they do wholesale!)

HMS Latex, also on Etsy was founded in 2006 by Sophie, a young model and makeup artist living in Paris. In just two short years, she's really come into her own as a talented latex designer.

I especially like her latex Delicacy Mittens, which have an enormous amount of detail for such a miniscule price ($35!). Her menswear featured in her Etsy store also looks very well made, and keep an eye out for new additions to her line, such as high fashion boleros and stunning dresses which I've sneak previewed at her Live Journal.

Look out for more of our fashion updates in the weeks to come!

The name "ego assassin" refers to the philosophy that one can remake themself into any person they want to be; if only they can set aside all preconceived notions about who they are. Latex, being the perfect medium for transformation, allows you to become any character or creature you’d like to be.

ego assassin, based in Toronto, Canada is owned and operated by James Hagarty, a graphic designer and screen printer, and Slinka, a former fetish model. The company was started by James in 2003 as a custom designed t-shirt and screen printing business and moved into screen printing latex a year later.

ego assassin's signature style focuses on colorful, wearable pieces that serve as a platform for their distinctive printed graphics. Design influences and inspiration come from spy movies, concept art, comic books, and custom motorcycles. Many of the prints are inspired by vintage woodcuts, classical Japanese paintings, and Native American art.

The use of printing allows for a greater range of images, and much finer detail than is possible to achieve with appliques. Their latest print, "Great Wave", is based on the painting of the same name by the classical Japanese artist, Hokusai. It is a highly detailed and complex 2-color print, the likes of which has not been seen on latex before.

ego assassin also offers a growing range of classes teaching the basics of latex construction. The goal of these classes is to further develop and support the growing latex community in Canada and abroad. Their latest workshop, RUB 201, which covers the principles of latex corsetry has sold out well in advance. For information on future workshops, check out ego assassin's Facebook page.

Xozt Fetish Latex (LINK REMOVED DUE VIRUS ON SITE!) is a personal webpage created by a rubber loving couple from Russia, where you'll find lots of free photos of their fabulous latex life. The site is smartly designed with simple navigation menus that guides the user through their galleries as well as a catalogue of third-party fetish videos. The photos clearly portray the enthusiasm these two have for their favorite fetish material and the joy they get from sharing it with the world. I for one think it's really cool to see sites like this popping up, personal pages from people in far flung lands, who enjoy nothing more than to share their love of latex with us. Best of luck to these two beautiful rubber pervs, and cheers to seeing a lot more of them in the future!

While visiting this site, I stumbled across a few more sites from Mother Russia that might be of interest to Russian speaking latex fetishists, namely Mask Woman, a site devoted to rubber female masks (the sort often worn by crossdressers and male doll fetishists) and Rubber Droid, a forum devoted to Russian speaking rubberists. So until next time, dasvedanya and keep that latex love coming from the eastern front!

Reuters says: "Thailand's rubber producers, will only bring a margin of their harvest to market this year. October rains came too late for trees in Thailand's prime rubber-growing region to recover from the driest winter in two decades. Few of the trees have been watered properly, meaning the harvest next season will be meager, due to the lack of rubber sap. Forecasters say output in Thailand, the world's largest producer of raw rubber, will fall to a 50-year low and as a result the price of all rubber and latex products will sky rocket."

Daily Echo got a nice interview with Lady Onna:
"Onna had been interested in rubber from an early age. She recognised that she had a fetish - although she is uncomfortable with the seedy, anything goes' connotations of this word, preferring to describe her fascination with rubber as her sexuality.

She had also dabbled with dress designing and making and decided to combine these two interests with her knowledge of engineering to go into designing and making rubber clothing.

What's more, she decided to make rubber clothes - corsets, dresses, gloves etc - that can be worn in public.

"I love latex as a textile and I am trying to make it more accessible in the mainstream," she says."

Libidex has been working its fetish magic on a new range of dresses, skirts and tops, using the fabulous range of colours from new sheet latex makers Radical Rubber.

The new collection is bit of a change from Libidex's usual stock in trade. Simon Rose and his design team have produced over 70 new creations, offering a really great choice of looks – tight and cheeky uniforms, dresses featuring sleeves with a hint of Victorian, corseted waists and revealing tops finished with lace work and "keyholes".

The new collection certainly appeals to a wide audience, and offers something for practically everyone: evening gowns rub shoulders with revealing long split skirts and some decidedly naughty tops. A favorite will certainly be the stern Victorian "Governess Dress", and the uniforms – everything from the air hostess "Jet Set Dress" to the slightly Teutonic "Military Dress" – can't fail to excite.

And not only is it all new – it's in the Libidex sale as well. 25% off all Libidex garments – including the new range – till 1st March 2008 - and if you're quick, Libidex can get your favorite outfit to you in time for Valentine's Day!

In our never ending journey through the wide world of fetish, it's always great to hear about fetish scenes in places that normally don't get much attention.

Kolovrat waxes philosophical on the psychological power and allure of rubber, the origins of the latex scene and it's future in Croatia and beyond, in this engaging and somewhat sobering look at his fetish experience.

The enigmatically named, LTVS24, is a German fetish and BDSM online super-store that's been online since 2000. Sort of like the Walmart of fetish shopping, they sell something to suit even the most jaded pervert, from top notch latex gear from Marquis, Simon O and others, to high-end SM and bondage tools, furniture, sex toys, videos and more.

Be warned: The mind reels at the selection you'll find at LTVS24! Sort of like an H.P. Lovecraft story, where the protagonist views the impossible visage of some unspeakable alien and immediately goes insane. Within moments of browsing you'll find yourself exclaiming, "Oh my god, I need that!" and reaching for the credit card.

The LTVS24 clinic is a must see stop through fetish shopping Nirvana, with enough clamps, dilators, spreaders and enema bags to stock a gummi hospital! Don't forget a click through the footwear pages, where you'll marvel at the humongous selection of sexy, stripper-ific heels and ass kicking boots - guys I'm talking to you. Trust me, give her the boots or a latex nurse uniform, before you try fitting the latex gyno-exam chair in the living room.

A promising new addition to the fetish fashion world is London based, Boutique of Pleasure. I recently exchanged some messages with Jamie Gibbs, co-owner of Boutique of Pleasure, about his new endeavor and he invited me to visit his site and give him my critique. I was very pleased to find both his website and his garments to be incredibly appealing, not to mention surprisingly affordable.

"The material is an amazing aphrodisiac and seems to send all manner of individuals to their knees!! I believe that latex lovers want amazing designs for reasonable money that are built to last." - Jamie Gibb

From chic, sophisticated evening wear to flirtatious club gear and lingerie, BOP offers quite a wide selection of latex clothes, including some menswear as well, all available in an astounding range of colors. With an eye towards pleasing fetishists and the mainstream alike with affordable prices, quality construction and made to measure service, I think we'll be hearing a lot more about Boutique of Pleasure in the future. For more about Boutique of Pleasure, click around their site and be sure to read this recent interview with Mr. Gibb over at Social Kink

THIS JUST IN: I just received word from Jamie that he is holding a holiday sale of 20% off all orders from his shop. If that's not enough, due to the great feedback he received from the members of the Rubberpal forum, he's offering an additional 20% off to Rubberpals, making it 40%! Both offers last until January 15, 2007.

Here's a special treat that I dug up while cyber-stalking NY fetish badass, and all around international woman of mystery, Darenzia today. This video compilation, produced by Anastasia Pierce, from this year's Fetish Con in Tampa, gives you a little slice of the sexiness that you might have slept on. Be sure to watch towards the end, to see a piece of a cool performance featuring an unidentified model in HW gear trapped in a giant plastic ball like a human hamster. How appropriate, isn't just a microcosim of the insignificance of human life?



...and if you were wondering, Darenzia claims that she can in fact dance, despite her seemingly out of synch steps on the video. The compilation video was editted with new music!

Love Larceny Latex... That's the tagline for the new film, "Walk All Over Me," premiering in Canada this weekend and hopefully the rest of the world very soon.

Directed by Canadian filmmaker, Robert Cuffley and starring Leelee Sobieski of "Eyes Wide Shut" fame and "Battlestar Galactica" babe, Trisha Helfer, "Walk All Over Me" is the story of a small town ingenue (Sobieski) looking to escape her doldrums by moving to the big city and assuming the identity of a well paid dominitrix (Helfer). Along the way mistaken identity leads to all sorts of sordid and darkly humorous hijinks as the girl comes to find her confidence and realize the power of her sexuality. Looks like fun, and how can you not love the sight of those two in latex? Check out the trailer for more.
