House of Harlot Bizarre Gold Clown
Florence states “Its about having fun with the design and ideas without being restricted by budget or whether its commercial or not. It was more about visual impact and exploring new techniques and ideas in rubber, and using some other interesting mixes, like the use of fur or glitter.” The stipulation from the editor of Bizarre was that each outfit had a theme, and revealed as much skin as possible!
Only a limited quantity of each outfit will be sold, then the design will be removed from the site. House of Harlot wanted to make these custom outfits available to the public, but maintain their cachet by limiting the production of these elaborate ensembles, which include all accessories.
The current selection includes:
– Clown Gold with the Pierrot hat and dot and stripe applique.
– Gothic Geisha, a confection of latex pleated frills and roses.
– Sailor Moon, a very kinky riff on the anime classic.
– Ringmistress with fancy frog closures, epaulettes, and a top hat.
– Day of the Dead Zombie with elaborate detailing and glitter.
Robin and Florence were kind enough to answer my questions about this line and mentioned that there will be more limited edition Gold outfits in the future.
Different strokes as they say. I don’t find anything appealing to my sensibilities in this collection. Fetish has clearly improved in the design department with in influence of fashion applied to latex. SKII seemed to have been a leader in making fetish elegant and a fashion statement. And then latex became a fashion textile and moved further and further away from its fetish origin. This collection epitomizes this arc. It’s tight fitting and reveals a lot of flesh which is more akin to porn wear mixed in with Halloween and Victoria’s Secret.
I suppose that there comes a point when it becomes difficult to create fetish designs and off they go into the bizarre designs for the sake of bizarre it seems. There’s a sucker born every minute and someone will just treasure this gold.
@at Dark: I couldn’t agree more and surely put it so well in written words!
Dark certainly sums it up very well, I am just bemused by the “Limited Numbers” when it doesn’t actually tell you haw many that is? 1 or 1000? Silly Robin lol…
Some of the pieces have the actual number that will be produced, i.e. Sailor Moon limited to 20, but not all of them, so I thought it would be silly to include the actual numbers for some items but not others.
