Latex fashion in everyday life

The fusion of latex and everyday practicality: a look behind the scenes
of a unique fashion project.
Today I would like to tell you about an exciting project that has revolutionized the world of
revolutionized the world of fashion. While looking for photographers and models for my latex
latex menswear, I came across the talented photographer Silke Thelen,
whose impressive work immediately fascinated me. Her preference for
male models in front of the lens was a perfect match for my project.

After I contacted Silke, we developed a concept for a shoot together.

in the meantime, I came across Bernd Funke, a fashion-conscious man in his mid-fifties with
with an impressive charisma. He has been working as an
influencer for several years now.

Bernd visited my studio to pick up the latex models in person. The
idea was to combine the latex fashion with his own fabric clothing and have it
the shootings. The result was a fascinating
series of images, which Bernd presented in various outfits – from a lined hoodie
hoodie made of marbled latex to a shimmering blue latex shirt.

Latex chlorinated

Latex with a refined surface, advantages and disadvantages

A particular attraction of latex is its smooth, shiny surface.

However, this also requires regular care, otherwise it appears dull and the material sticks together.

Chlorinating latex chemically changes the surface. As a result, the material appears more silky matt to silky glossy and is slightly less elastic.

On the other hand, the surface no longer sticks together, but rather glides together like nylon. Chlorination is highly recommended for my street style collection and latex bed linen.

Another important feature of chlorinated latex is that it can no longer be glued back together, or only with intensive pre-treatment. This can be a disadvantage even for minor repairs. Ultimately, however, both variants require care. Even if chlorinated latex is not the main focus, VIVISHINE care products prevent it from becoming gray.

Tips for handling chlorinated latex

  • the latex needs internal protection with silicone oil
  • either rinse in water with a little silicone oil after each wash or
  • spread enough silicone oil on the latex after a few uses, place it in a bin liner or bucket and leave it to soak in
  • if you want the latex to shine more, you can apply a thin layer of silicone oil
  • chlorinated latex can also be dried in 5 minutes on the wool program in the tumble dryer
  • if you add soft cloths, this has a polishing effect
  • without a tumble dryer, drying stains can be avoided with a towel
  • Breathable garment bags are suitable for storage
  • the skin and latex should always be completely dry so that the latex glides over the skin when putting it on
  • Light, oils and deodorant also destroy chlorinated latex in the long term
  • Larger items of clothing that have little tendency to “slip” are particularly suitable (e.g. catsuits, shirts or coats)
  • stockings, miniskirts, short latex dresses or latex leggings can easily slip down due to the particularly smooth surface of the chlorinated latex
  • Tip: Fold back the edge of stockings by about 10 cm and moisten with a little water. After folding back, the water acts as a bonding agent and the stockings no longer slip

Advantages

  • Chlorination significantly increases wearing comfort
  • the surface is protected by the special treatment
  • the durability of the latex is significantly increased
  • Minimal care required
  • putting on and taking off is child’s play
  • there is no need to apply silicone and powder when getting dressed
  • several layers of latex can easily slide over each other
  • the drying time is only a few minutes – chlorinated latex is suitable or at least more suitable for allergy sufferers

Disadvantages

  • Repairing latex clothing becomes more difficult/impossible
  • only thick latex clothing can be repaired satisfactorily using the “sanding method”
  • Latex clothing changes its feel, it becomes firmer and stiffer
  • this effect is clearly noticeable at first – the material becomes a little softer again with prolonged wear
  • due to the change in feel, the chlorinated latex appears subjectively thicker (0.25 mm latex feels like 0.35 mm latex, for example)
  • the original smell disappears and is replaced by a new, more “industrial” smell
  • initially, a residual chlorine odor may be perceptible, but this disappears completely

How to find the perfect latex bed linen and sheets

Experience heavenly sleep with latex bedding – here are the most important shopping tips for latex bedding!

When buying latex bed linen and sheets, there are a few things to bear in mind to avoid making the wrong purchase. Firstly, you should pay attention to the material quality. Remember to look not only at the price, but also at the quality and durability of the product. All too often, various “playsheets” made of polyurethane/PVC or lacquer-like materials (i.e. plastic) are sold here. However, it is not always possible for beginners to tell the difference accurately on the basis of the photos (after all, other materials than latex can also be shiny black) and it is not uncommon for these products to simply be sold under the keyword “latex”.

When it comes to choosing the perfect sheet, many questions often arise. Which size is the right one? How thick should the material be? And which color is best? While the choice of color is of course a matter of individual taste (although light latex colors are more prone to discoloration), there are a few things to consider when it comes to size and thickness.

Standard mattresses usually have a length of 2 meters. Standard latex sheets are also usually a maximum of 2 meters long. This means that the sheet may not cover the entire mattress all the way to the underside, especially at the head and foot ends. This isn’t a big problem if you’re only concerned with the feel. But if it’s important to you that the entire mattress is completely covered, go for larger sheets, even if it means there’s an adhesive seam in the middle.

Most latex sheets on offer are not fitted sheets and need to be tucked under the mattress. It is therefore important to plan for enough overlapping material, as otherwise the latex can slip, especially if you move around a lot during sleep. Some manufacturers offer fitted sheets in different designs. These are available in all sizes, with a center seam for large mattresses.

By the way, if you want to use the sheet intensively and not just occasionally, we recommend that you choose a sheet that is significantly thicker than 0.4 mm. From 0.6 mm, the longevity increases considerably.

Of course, it is also important to pay attention to allergies. If you are allergic to latex, you should avoid latex bedding and sheets.

I hope that I have been able to help you with my latex bedding shopping tips if you are considering buying latex bedding.

The next article will be about the variety of latex pillows and latex comforters.

Your latex expert wishes you exciting dreams, Karin from Rosengarn
