Sasha Louise, a British fashion designer, emerging from the talent pool of London College of Fashion, is currently trying to fund her latex fashions with a Kickstarter campaign. Sasha, who stands of the tight rope between high fashion and fetish, has a fresh approach to latex as a fabric, and her own desire for wearable, everyday clothing.
Currently developing a new womenswear collection as well as her first ever menswear collection, Sasha hope to launch them at London Fashion Week. Therefor she is asking for a minimum of £5,000 to complete the two new collections, shoot, print and distribute a look book and pay for showroom space at London Fashion Week.

Twenty years ago there were only three latex designers in all of North America and only one in New York: The Baroness. Beginning in a small studio in 1994, The Baroness was a pioneer, selling her latex fashions to private clients by appointment only, and wholesale to select boutiques. In 1995 she launched the world’s first online latex clothing store at Baroness.com.
The Baroness has been instrumental in the emergence of rubber from the darkness of dungeons into the bright lights of the silver screen, high fashion catwalks and red carpet award shows. Over the past 20 years she has come to be known as “The Grand Dame of Latex”.
During her twenty years of exploring the unique properties of latex and its construction, The Baroness has influenced the fashion industry through collaborations with Lacoste, NYC men’s wear designer Patrik Ervell, women’s wear designer Nourish Ferrari, and Opening Ceremony. Her inflatable straight jacket was exhibited in the Fashion Institute of Technology museum.
The Baroness’ haute couture designs have made her the go-to designer for an A-list of celebrities, latex lovers, and the fashion elite, including Bergdorf Goodman’s Linda Fargo (who she dressed for the Met Gala Punk Ball); Performers Lady GaGa, Nikki Minaj, and Beyonce; Victoria’s Secret models Naomi Campbell and Giselle; actress Chloe Sevigny; downtown diva Amanda Lepore; and burlesque dancer Dita von Teese; plus many celebrities whose affection for latex remains private.
As an authority on latex, alternative life styles, and clothing and power, The Baroness and her work have been publicized in countless books and magazines including Valerie Steele’s Fetish, fashion, Sex and Power; The New York Times fashion section; V magazine; Vogue; The Village Voice; Mademoiselle; Maxim and others. She has been featured on both HBO’s Real Sex and The Discovery Channel.
With her flair for style, bold personality, and artistic vision The Baroness has performed, lectured and hosted parties, events and fashion shows worldwide.
Ten years ago The Baroness expanded to her retail boutique in New York’s East Village, with a street level store and workshop below, where all latex designs are made by hand. This woman-owned business remains the sole latex-only shop in New York.

Most items are also available on-line at store.Baroness.com.
“The inspiration for the collection started with stories from Japanese folklore, it spread then to demons and legends, hence the outfits’ names.”
“There is a dark and magic side to the latex material that suits those imaginary creatures and I felt would suit our clientele as well. I loved especially the tale of Jorogumo, the spider that can change its appearance into that of a seductive woman. I wanted to experiment with capes and shapes that would suit the witch-woman I had in mind. All of it in latex rubber, naturally, and suitable for party.” says Florence Druart of Torture Garden Clothing.
JOROGUMO is an Exclusive Torture Garden Clothing Collection by Florence Druart for House of Harlot and it is available right now online or from House of Harlot’s atelier just off London’s Brick Lane.
