Lüllepop is a young, unique Berlin fashion label. Cathleen Reinheckel and Andre Gawanka are designing latex fashions with clever catchy combinations using textiles and latex in such a way that it’s eye catching and extravagant yet still practical and wearable.

Lüllepop gear is designed to take full advantage of the female form and lure and bedazzle the male of the species. The feminine lines are well brought together using materials such as lace, lycra, fine nappa leather or even knitted materials, all cleverly combined with latex.

Ready for the start of the 15th Erotic Fair in Berlin (Venus) Cathleen and Andre have created a fitting “Desous” collection, which will guarantee to turn some heads, especially among the men.

The “Dolcessa in autunno” collection is in colors spanning from soft Champagne tones, to warm passionate burgundy colors of a deep full bodied red wine. Lüllepop has also used lots of lace to keep the soft feminine touch and combine it with the more raunchy latex fem-dom style. G-strings & triangular bras, and an array of charming panties etc.

Micaela Schäfer models some of the Lüllepop creations on the Venus Berlin Erotic fair poster this year and it is also Lüllepop who designed the garments that Micaela will be wearing at the Venus Berlin Awards. A dream made of latex & lace.

I asked James from Ego Assassin, how they came up with this idea “We got the idea to make latex fishnets because over the years many of our customers have asked us if it was possible to make such a thing. We have always had to say no because we couldn’t think of a way to cut a fine and consistent mesh pattern into latex, and still maintain any semblance of durability. I know that many latex designers — ourselves included — have attempted to solve this problem with a variety of appliqué-based approaches, but the final product was always rather bulky and the look was never quite right.”

He continues “When Kink Engineering announced they would be offering laser-cutting services to the latex industry, one of our first thoughts was that it could be used to finally make a true fishnet latex stocking. We experimented with various laser settings, hole shapes, and mesh densities, until we arrived at a pattern that worked.”

So how the stockings are produced? James explains “The stockings are made by laying a sheet of latex into the laser machine, and cutting the whole stocking in one piece, including thousands of tiny rounded slashes. The piece is then taken out of the machine, the off-cuts are removed, and it is thoroughly cleaned. The stockings are then assembled with one seam up the back and reinforcement around the edges. The end result is a sheer, lightweight, and durable latex fishnet stocking that can be worn on its own, or shined up and paired any latex outfit.”

Check out this video from Ego Assassin on how easy it is to put on the stockings:

Pretty cool, right? The stocking are actually leg sleeves witch is a really good thing, as your tiny toes won’t get stuck in the stockings mesh and is simply much more comfortable to wear. I also believe they would also look fantastic on top of regular pair of latex stockings.

I’m sure that we have just scratched the surface of what is possible with laser cut latex, and we can expect much more on this front in the years to come!

When you compare the photos of a vintage latex grown from Pussy Cat Magazine in 1965 to the Dita Dressing Gown by Marquis of 2010, it becomes very clear that very little have changed in the latex fashion in the last 40-50 years.

I don’t state that this is plagiarism, I just want to point out is that “what has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun” – especially when it comes to latex fashion!

Do you agree or disagree? Leave a comment!

There also two new pairs of latex shorts for men in the new Leopard latex print, especially for guys who want show off their wild side. Grrr!

Many designers had incorporated printed latex in their latex clothing designs for many years, but lately more and more printed latex fabrics are showing up among the smaller designers. I think it’s a fantastic trend there brings more diversity and style in the latex fashion community.

Last night Marc Jacobs presented their Fall 2011 Ready-to-Wear Collection in New York. The new collection featured several unique latex designs created House of Harlot.

Characterized by a vibrant colour and great details, the new collection is more fashionable than ever, thanks to the collaboration between the Parisian vintage fashion designer Blackitten and Hedony Design’s designer Josselin Guichard.

The collaboration has produced some stunning new pieces, blending together rubber and lace and pushing the latex fashion more into the fashion style.

Hedony Design new collection is mix of elegance, sensuality and creativity. The designs are optimized to fit perfectly, to be comfortable and stunning. Inspiration comes from pin-up, Asian and haute couture style.

The introduction of the first part of this collection took place at the Montreal Fetish Weekend last week, then at the Ball Des Supplices in Lyon, September 25th.

You can actually see the new collection at Josselin Guichard’s photo gallery and naturally on Hedony Design’s online shop.

Having recently been led to the Honour shop in Waterloo, London with my Fetish Map… and impressed by the YouTube films I feel Honour-bound to tell you about my fantastic retail experience. I was there for over an hour with my lady-friend as she tried more than eight different items for a subsequent night out. The customer service was friendly, accommodating and attentive and what’s more we were blown away that the assistant spent ten minutes making sure the rubber we purchased was in top-top and gleaming condition.

The shop is itself furbished in a theatrical royal-red colour scheme and has two floors, one for own-label fashion on the ground floor and another above for a traditional selection of fetish paraphernalia including BDSM toys, hardcore-play garments, toys and erotic literature. The Waterloo store represents the Honour brand which has its own massive online outlet here.

Dawn wanted to fuse the beauty and elegance of kimonos with the sensuality and graphic quality of latex. Her kimono patterns reflect authentic kimonos, featuring variable sizing and open sleeve backs for comfort and ease of movement.

Any of Dawn’s kimonos may be worn with traditional Japanese kimono garments such as naga-juban (under kimono) or authentic obi and accessories. For a more modern look, these latex kimono may also be paired with her latex obi, corset or waist clincher.
