Soft Skin Latex is a British slow fashion brand that promotes a new idea of latex. Made of bows, rouges and pastel tones. Very different from what we usually imagine when thinking of this material – BDSM, whips, stiletto heels and black tight jumpsuits. Young, disruptive and sustainable, the British brand rethinks latex and declines it in different styles, for soft provocations.
Soft Skin Latex uses premium quality rubber to handcraft on demand latex products. To avoid overproduction each product is created following the order. When entering its online shop it feels like jumping into the rabbit’s hole. By clicking on any product category, you’ll find yourself in a fantasy world, where every certainty or prejudice immediately turns into its opposite.
You’ll see sexy accessories, such as mini tutus and garters, entirely made in Barbie pink latex. You can wear them with matching cuffs and BDSM masks, enriched by bon ton rouges. A voluminous cream-colored collar seems to have come out of the Victorian era. This is also fully made in latex, as well as super girly handbags with maxi bows and ribbons, and underwear.
The brand sells casual clothing, too, again characterised by a retro design, such as raincoats and rain hats. You can also find the classic corsets, but with lines reminiscent of the Middle Ages. One of them has been named Orlando, as the homonymous novel by Virginia Woolf.
History, literature and mass culture cross in Soft Skin Latex, which aims at redefining the rules of fashion and the vision of the wearers. All the products are genderless and latex scraps are also sold – for cheap – to avoid waste.
