The high fashion designers have had their eyes on latex and PVC for long, so it’s no wonder that the materials makes it to the catwalks from time to time. Gareth Pugh is back with another kinky collection.
Style.com writes: “The cotton-covered runway suddenly inflated into a billowing river, and out stepped a latex-masked creature in humongous Lucite platforms and a full-skirted checkerboard dress. He, she, it (gender soon ceased to matter) was followed by yet more outrageous figures, their completely covered bodies and faces
sprouting 3-D geometrical protrusions. Each was wearing some kind of coat made in bristling patchworks of black-and-white vinyl, survival-blanket silver foil, or plastic blown up with air.“
Some of the outfits made me think of the splendid new Torture Gardens Clothing designs (shown on left) that I first saw at the German Fetish Ball back in June.
