      Iconic brand Yummy Gummy Latex to Re-launch with New Owners

      news.movim.eu / Latex247 • 4 August, 2024 • 11 minutes

    After the shock news in January 2023 of the sudden closure of Yummy Gummy Latex , owner Rebecca Allsop had always planned (and hoped) to find a designer to revive the business and continue the legacy which she had started. With over a year and a half now passed since this announcement, the Yummy Gummy name will live on as the coverted brand will shortly be re-launching with new owners. Both Allsop and the new owners Yuki and Ruka of Se’tyo were kind enough to speak to us about the past eighteen months and their hopes and dreams for the future.

    Yummy Gummy Latex Sheeting at GFB The brand was frequently in attendance at the worlds biggest latex fashion events

    After a decade of creating some of the most iconic and highly respected latex sheeting and clothing which has graced catwalks and events galore, the latex clothing industry and community were left shocked and saddened by the cessation of trading of Yummy Gummy. An outpour of messages and comments reached owner Rebecca and the level of public support was beyond anything she could ever have imagined. “The messages were unbelievable!”, Allsop commented, “I didn’t realise how much Yummy Gummy meant to people! It was mind-blowing what a huge impact it had on people I had never even met. It was obvious Yummy Gummy had become so much more than just sheet latex and I think removing that creative option in people’s life and being so honest about my reasons for stepping away really pressed the abandonment and loss buttons in many. People told me they were crying along with me as they watched the video, it was an emotional time.” With the loss of huge stocks of liquid latex, due to an unusually cold period (even for the UK), which the Yummy Gummy designer used to create her brand’s unique and eye-catching latex sheeting, Rebecca knew that the time was right to close this chapter in her life. “I was happy though, it was a huge relief and I had time to focus on my studies without being overwhelmed, I knew it was the right thing for me. I did a lot of introspection and the part where all the emotion was, was in the potential that Yummy Gummy still had and that I wouldn’t be the one to help realise it.”, the emotion and memorites still clearly strong with her.

    It was clearly both this sentiment and the reaction from her customers and the community which gave Rebecca the encouragement and inspiration to search out new owners. “It needed a new owner who could take it to its new potential, and show off all the designs I had created but never made into clothes”, she told us. “The potential for more pioneering designs and the joy of sharing it with others was what caused me the biggest grief.” Rebecca noted, her focus clearly on the customers, as it had been during the entire time Yummy Gummy was trading. Throughout the next few weeks and months, she held onto the hope that the brand could re-launch and that the ‘physical’ side of the business would find a new home. “I was happy to let it go but it felt unsatisfactory to take the tables to the tip and get money for scrap, there was more to it than that, and it would have been so final, there would truly be no more Yummy Gummy. So I waited and prayed a bit longer, and the patience paid off!”

    Yummy Gummy Latex owner Rebecca Allsop Rebecca Allsop has been the owner of Yummy Gummy Latex since the brand launced in 2013

    After a number of failed attempts to sell the business, either through disagreements in the plans of potential new owners or Allsop knowing that they would not continue the legacy she had created, Yuki and Ruka of Se’tyo came forward and Rebecca knew they were the logical choice to sell the brand to. “They were keen! Enthusiastic! And they weren’t just one person, they already had thought through how they were going to make it work. We were aligned in mind, they knew what Yummy Gummy meant to me and the fan base.”, Rebecca commented. “They took their time to find the right workshop and for us to write a personal contract. I appreciated their down-to-earth honesty and authenticity.”, this again something which Yummy Gummy had always been known for.

    Yummy Gummy Latex is Leipzig Bound

    So, what about the new owners? Yummy Gummy will shortly pass over to Yuki and Ruka, who have successfully been running bespoke latex clothing brand Se’tyo. “We planned to set up a design label for some years, although the original focus was on fashion, and not on materials. But getting the right stuff turned out quite challenging, which is why we decided to set our brand Se’tyo up slightly differently”, the new owners told us, as they continued to talk about their involvement in the industry. “Probably it would be surprising if we would have had no contact with latex before, wouldn’t it? 😉 Both of us have been part of the scene for several years and designed and produced our outfits ourselves from the very start. We are happy to now be able to share this passion with all of you.”

    Yuki and Ruka of Se'tyo, who will soon take over Yummy Gummy Latex Yuki and Ruka of Se’tyo, who have purchased Yummy Gummy Latex

    “We expected that someone would be interested in Yummy Gummy quite quickly, but prepared a little space for sheet production for our needs as part of the business concept.”, with a clear expectation to be producing their own latex sheeting for their apparel. After an initial first attempt to purchase Yummy Gummy, the pair tried a second time. “But, you know, sometimes things get their own dynamic in growing and so, Yummy Gummy is going to move about 900 kilometres to the East. We [Yuki and Ruka of Se’tyo], are Leipzig based. While Ruka has a master in cutting and bespoke tailoring, Yuki has experience in working with latex, what we see as a perfect match for letting the spirit of Yummy Gummy come back and grow even further.”, the Se’tyo owners told us.

    It was originally the intention to find a UK buyer for the company (something which Rebecca was very passionate about pursuing) so it clearly speaks volumes about the confidence and value which the current owner places on Yuki and Ruka. “I knew the location wasn’t what I wanted but the people for sure were exactly what was needed for Yummy Gummy.” Rebecca told us. “They will be able to make clothes in-house rather than using freelancers. They also have their own plans and are creative people and master tailors in their own right. Yummy Gummy will not go unchanged, leaving it in their capable hands I cannot expect them to be me, act like me and have the same creative vision as me. They will give it their own twist with everything I had and all the knowledge I can give them. I look forward to seeing where they take it.”

    Se'tyo logo

    So what appealed to Yuki and Ruka most about taking over Yummy Gummy?

    “Actually, we have been customers too, for a number of our own projects. We loved the colours and endless possibilities in patterns, Rebecca offered. It was a pleasure to work together with her. We miss those times a lot, but we are very happy about the ability to bring all those colours back to the latex world.” And so are we. It was obvious that the new owners held the brand in as much a high regard as many of its other customers, and this formed a large part of their decision to purchase the brand. “There might be several reasons [the brand is regarded so highly], but the most obvious and important is the endless possibilities it offers for latex sheetings. Our designs have always relied on this variety, which is never reached with standard products from other sheeting manufacturers.”

    It’s clear that after speaking to Rebecca, Yuki and Ruka, they intend to keep the original spirit of Yummy Gummy alive. “For the beginning, we want to bring back the set of products, Yummy Gummy once offered”, the Se’tyo owners informed us, “We then want to add our own ideas and designs, as we believe there is still a lot you can do with latex. It’s kind of a playground and we are very much looking forward to using all of it.” As well as maintaining the Yummy Gummy latex brand the pair are keen to incorporate their recent purchase into other designs, “Also, as we introduce Yummy Gummy as part of our fashion brand Se’tyo, we want to introduce unique and personalised designs, beyond the borders of what is commonly known as possible. Fashion will be an important part too and we might even have more focus on that than YG had before, but we will continue on both, outfits and customised sheeting.”

    The Handover

    During the handover period, Rebecca will be working closely with Yuki and Ruka to ensure a smooth transfer, something which all three of them were keen to embrace. “Both of us have some experience with latex and sheets” Yuki and Ruka noted, “but how could we have gained the amount of knowledge and feeling for sheet production Rebecca has gained in ten years? This part might be the most important to ensure a constant quality of products for our customers. Plus, it’s not about a contract or about a boring business sale. It’s more about a passion we all share and so all of us will do our best for you!”

    Despite this, they are under no illusion about the road ahead and the inevitable challenges they will encounter. “Besides the usual and countless challenges which setting up a business means, we think it is a lot about bringing it back to regularly running production. On the one hand, there are a lot of changes in suppliers and we might face some limitations on available pigments. We are already in talks with some suppliers, but there still is a long way to go. On the other hand, we are facing a massive increase in material cost within the last two years and we will be forced to start with significantly higher prices than we all were used to. We could easily say that everything got more expensive, but for us, it is very important to keep the products as accessible as possible. The acceptance of this is nothing, we can influence alone.” It’s clear that both Yuki and Ruka are excited about these challenges and, with Rebecca onboard (at least in the short term), we’re sure some of these hurdles will become a little less bumpy.

    And what are the new owners most looking forward to? “Well that can only be the unlimited possibilities of colourful effects of this fantastic material”, the pair responded. We couldn’t have put it better ourselves!

    What Does the Future Hold?

    Yuki and Ruka are clear about the re-launch of Yummy Gummy. “We’re gonna re-launch in steps. We hope to be able to sell the first items in Autumn, but will surely have a wide selection online around Christmas. However, we expect some limitations by the start and hope to have the full range of products online by next spring.”

    And on the future of the brand, and what’s next, it’s only right that the final word comes from Rebecca. “It’s a huge relief that all that work wasn’t for nothing, I get personal closure and not an emotional trip to the tip. Seeing the impact my closing had on people personally, there is now a chance for it to blossom into something even more beautiful.”, as Allsop continues to praise the new owners and to talk about her legacy, “I knew that they would be able to understand the principles of latex sheet making so, in the not-so-distant future I can walk away into the sunset with no regrets and no looking back, my new, slightly less shiny, life beacons To give people the option of flexing their creativity and exploring their kinks without feeling like it’s too black and scary and keeping the option of “everyday wear” latex alive”. (amen to that!)

    Here at Latex24/7 we wish both Rebecca, and Yuki and Ruka well in the future.

      UNTITLEDrubber Aims to Make a Name For Itself

      news.movim.eu / Latex247 • 30 July, 2024 • 6 minutes

    The creation of Netherlands based latex brand UNTITLEDrubber has, at times, been a difficult journey. But, with many years of soul searching and internal discovery, it has ultimately been a rewarding experience for owner Ivo Mittelmeijer. We sat down with him recently to talk through this insightful journey.

    Did you know that Latex24/7 has its very own YouTube channel? Subscribe now for instant access to upcoming shiny latex clothing content.

    The genesis of the brand occurred back in November 2019 when Ivo caught up with a close friend from Sweden. At the time, Ivo was “inspired by their conversation about the pursuit of an authentic self” and this was a realisation that it was time to pursue his passion and learn more about a material that he felt a strong connection with: Rubber.

    UNTITLEDrubber Ivo Mittelmeijer Ivo Mittelmeijer is the soul behind UNTITLEDrubber

    However, Mittelmeijer’s fashion roots and creativity extend back to his childhood. “I was already creative as a boy. My mother was a seamstress and my grandmother sewed ballroom dresses for the Mittelmeijer Dancing School in Amsterdam.”, Ivo tells us. Growing up in the small beachside village of Egmond, the designer knew that his artistry and expressiveness would not be fulfilled and so, shortly after completing his HAVO (the Dutch education system prepares students to study higher professional education under this banner) qualifications, he enrolled in the Amsterdam Fashion Institute (AMFI) and followed in his mother’s footsteps, who had previously studied at the Montaigne Academy, now part of the AMFI.

    Ivo studied at AMFI for two years during which his “creativity blossomed”, something which is visibly clear in his future designs. This led him to greater achievements. “I was admitted to ARTeZ in Arnhem on the advice of Astrid van Engelen because I was creative in a different way.” Ivo continued, “And with good results, because in my senior year I won the first prize of Lichting 2007 and was voted the best graduate of all academies in the Netherlands that year.”

    His skills and talent did not go unnoticed. Leading Benelux communication & creation agency SPICE came knocking at his door, promoting the newly qualified designer free of charge (surely confirmation of the incredible up-and-coming talent they saw in Ivo) and his design aptitude was soon in high demand. “I have been able to make things for the Amsterdam Museum, Zuiderzee Museum and Introdans”, he tells us. But Ivo soon came to understand this was not the career path he wanted to take. “I quickly discovered that fashion wasn’t it because I had something different to explore with clothes”, he explained, in what was clearly a defining moment in his life.

    His eyes were opened working and patronising the bars and clubs of Amsterdam. It was at this point in his career that he realised “Hey, there’s another side to clothing”. A chance to meet photographer René Zuiderveld opened his eyes further to what could be achieved and what was possible. Soon enough, René introduced Ivo to the owners of RoB Amsterdam and it was at this point that Mittelmeijer discovered his passion. “It finally brought me to myself and I started doing what was deep within me”, Ivo told us, continuing “I’d been to Berlin a lot to order rubber clothing and suddenly I thought; ‘this is what I have to do.’”

    UNTITLEDrubber Ivo Mittelmeijer Ivo’s skill with latex was learned through many years of experience

    Then came the Covid pandemic. Ivo described 2020 as “a year that allowed us all the time and space to think about our way of living.” In one of these moments, he was brought back to that November dinner. An epiphany hit the designer as he realised that all the skills, connections, and people he had encountered over the years had allowed him to build up “a broad network through my education and work experiences in Amsterdam and Berlin. People who support you and promote you, who think along with you and who want to help you because of what you do and who you are. Looking back on it, it’s nice that this all came my way unplanned.” From that moment on he knew that his goal was to build a latex brand which encompassed “his minimalist aesthetic, distinct style and unique finishes.”

    His journey to the launch of his own latex brand took time, some three years in total, and came with many challenges. “We all know or expect that building a brand is never a smooth, linear journey. We face curveballs and make tough decisions along the way” Ivo commented to us, “but despite facing challenges in the first three years while starting a rubber brand in a tiny 10-square-metre studio, we have now successfully created a brand that opposes preconceptions and established norms. We have discovered new ways to showcase our unique style and strong signature.”

    It’s clear that the design choices made by UNTITLED are a conscious decision. “My style is monochromatic, which means one colour. So if the choice is bright yellow, everything goes in bright yellow, preferably including shoes.” Ivo tells us. “There is room for expansion in this market and that is great to make more hearts beat faster together.”, he continues, “Rubber is currently making a big leap. People no longer just wear it as a fetish or from a sexual point of view, but for expression and it really dawned on me in Berlin’s nightlife that it can be done differently.”

    Officially launched in February 2024, at the brands new home in Dokter Jan van Breemenstraat, Amsterdam, latex aficionado, and UNTITLEDrubber cohort, Latex Peach took to her Instagram profile to show off a number of the creations from their first capsule collection.

    This was followed a week later by the Main Launch during Darklands in Antwerp.

    So how does Ivo now feel that the toil of the labour has come to fruition? “We have found our voice and discovered that we create in order to push boundaries in both the fetish and fashion worlds”, he states. With a clear vision and a strong future ahead of the brand he plans that UNTITLEDrubber will “always evolve, experiment and continue challenging ourselves to blaze a trail for those who don’t want to be confined.” In an attempt to explore the openness of latex fashion, the brand holds an open studio event every last Saturday of the month, no appointment required.

    And finally, on that choice of name? “The only thing left was finding a name that embodies freedom and leaves room for everyone’s authentic self. We want people to connect a part of themselves to our brand without feeling constrained by preexisting ideas or someone else’s identity. We want people to find themselves in our gear. That is why we needed a name that gives space for everyone.”

    We couldn’t have put it better ourselves!

      A Deep Dive into Style: Leather vs. Latex with Jheanelle Corine, Featuring Simon O

      news.movim.eu / Latex247 • 7 March, 2024 • 5 minutes

    Welcome to a comprehensive exploration of the captivating world of fashion, where we not only scrutinize the age-old debate of “Leather Pants vs. Latex – Which Fit Best?” but also shine a spotlight on the rising star, Jheanelle Corine. As a burgeoning force in Hollywood filmmaking and a trailblazing latex fashion influencer, Jheanelle takes centre stage in her latest YouTube style guide, this time modelling two different pairs of derriere-enhancing leggings. First, a beautiful black leather moto pant made by Shacullfites, complete with quilted details and sexy silver zippers. Then juxtaposed against legendary latex brand, Simon O’s , butt-lifting black leggings. Corine doesn’t fail to amaze in her latest release, and the information offered is extremely useful with spring fashion just around the corner. Join us on this extended journey as we delve into the intricacies of materials, the art of fashion modelling, and the unique charm brought by Jheanelle Corine to the realm of style education.

    Part 1: The Leather vs. Latex Conundrum

    Our fashion education odyssey begins with an immersive review of two iconic materials – leather and latex. Meticulously comparing the characteristics, styling options, and comfort levels of leather pants and latex, we embark on a journey designed to provide not only insights but a comprehensive understanding for fashion enthusiasts. With Jheanelle Corine as our guide, we navigate the rich history and evolution of these materials within the fashion landscape, exploring their cultural and fashion significance.

    Leather, a more commonplace material, has been used for clothing applications since the dawn of time (most likely due to its durability, warmth, and time-honoured hide tanning traditions that have been passed down through generations.) Leather is a sensual material, and can be supple to the touch if it is well-maintained. Thus it has also become synonymous with haute couture and luxury goods; whether for shoes, bags, coats, or travel accessories. Though latex is not nearly as durable, or heat insulating, it is an equally luxurious and perhaps even more eye-catching material.

    A Deep Dive into Style: Leather vs. Latex with Jheanelle Corine, Featuring Simon O

    Latex is rather new to the scene and was only utilized as a clothing material in the 1950s when the rubber catsuit was invented. It quickly took hold in the fashion industry and became a favourite of 1970s British designers like Vivienne Westwood. Latex continues to be popular for celebrities and fashion enthusiasts alike due to its skin-tight stretch, high gloss shine, and flattering ability to emphasize curves on the body. For all these reasons an investigation of both materials is essential, and we’re pleased to see creator Jheanelle Corine take on the challenge.

    A significant addition to the video is Jheanelle herself, who steps beyond the role of the influencer to share her personal experiences with leather and latex. As a Hollywood filmmaker with a penchant for avant-garde fashion, Jheanelle brings a unique perspective to the material debate, infusing the discussion with her own narrative and experiences.

    Part 2: The Simon O Brand and Jheanelle Corine as a Fashion Model

    Transitioning seamlessly into the spotlight, we turn our attention to the renowned clothing brand “Simon O.” This time, our exploration is not confined to the brand’s aesthetic and craftsmanship alone – we also dissect the brand through the lens of Jheanelle Corine as a fashion model. What better way to understand the nuances of a clothing line than through the lens of someone who not only appreciates fashion but actively contributes to its narrative?

    Jheanelle Corine’s role as a fashion model adds a layer of authenticity and personal connection to the brand review. We examine how the clothing brand complements her individual style, exploring the synergy between the brand’s identity and Jheanelle’s own expressive fashion choices. Corine pairs the Simon O. leggings with a timeless classic, a black and white Balmain logo ringer tee. The shirt is perfectly cropped and can obviously be worn as is, but Jheanelle chooses to amplify the appeal by knotting the t-shirt just above her diaphragm. Jheanelle wears what we believe are her favourite heels, an elegant pair of clear and black mules. The shoes, Jheanelle later confirms, are by Jessica Rich, a local Los Angeles fashion brand founded by an incredible black businesswoman. This segment aims to provide readers with a deeper understanding of the interplay between a fashion influencer’s personal style and the brands they choose to represent.

    A Deep Dive into Style: Leather vs. Latex with Jheanelle Corine, Featuring Simon O

    Part 3: The Educational Journey with Jheanelle Corine

    As we traverse the educational landscape of fashion, Jheanelle Corine emerges not only as an influencer and fashion model but also as the dynamic host of our style exploration. Beyond the material comparison and brand spotlight, we delve into Jheanelle’s role as a guide, educator, and storyteller. Her experience in Hollywood filmmaking infuses the video with a cinematic flair, transforming it into more than just a style guide – it becomes a visual narrative.

    Jheanelle’s unique approach to style education involves more than just showcasing clothes; it’s an immersive experience where viewers are invited into her world, witnessing firsthand the creative process behind her fashion choices. We love to explore the dynamic nature of Jheanelle’s hosting, shedding light on how her storytelling abilities elevate the educational content beyond the ordinary. Most importantly, we have to highlight the gorgeous use of light and colour in each and every one of Corine’s videos. A trend which is heavily on display in this latest lush, mauve-toned stylist’s dream.

    A Deep Dive into Style: Leather vs. Latex with Jheanelle Corine, Featuring Simon O

    In conclusion, our extended exploration into “ Leather Pants vs. Latex – Which Fit Best? ” accompanied by a spotlight on the Simon O brand and featuring the dynamic Jheanelle Corine has been an enlightening journey through the multifaceted world of fashion. Jheanelle’s role as a fashion model and host adds layers of authenticity and narrative richness to the content, transforming it into an educational experience that goes beyond the superficial.

    As we continue to unravel the boundless realms of fashion, let’s celebrate the synergy of materials, brands, and the unique flair brought by influencers like Jheanelle Corine.

      Avellano Reveals New AW24 Collection at Paris Fashion Week

      news.movim.eu / Latex247 • 6 March, 2024 • 3 minutes

    Paris Fashion Week showcases the pinnacle of fashion couture, from brands such as YSL and Loewe , and for the past few years Parisian based latex designer Avellano has presented their upcoming collections with this year being no different as the brand revealed their AW24 Ready-to-wear range.

    The new ready-to-wear Autumn-Winter 2024 collection further extended Avellano’s influence and presence in the latex clothing industry, showcasing a mature and confident range of garments, some of which were clearly “playing it safe” (such as loosely fitting shirts and trousers) whilst others pushed the boundaries of the material with astrakan effects on items such as the designers black blazer jacket. This texture somewhat masks the shiny nature of rubber but provides a versatility and acceptance many other latex garments struggle to receive.

    Avellano launches new AW24 latex collection at Paris Fashion Week The new AW24 Latex collection from Avellano featured astrakan effect latex

    With a pallete of blacks, whites and greens, garments were presented in both solid, textured and semi-transparent latex allowing for a collection to suit all occassions. But it was collaboration with an unlikely partner which caught much attention. The collection features a number of bomber and puffer jackets, which was created as part of an outerwear partnership with Europeran arm of American apparel company Schott . Although Avellano had long desired to investigate this category, independent development proved to be too expensive and difficult in the end.

    The highlight of the AW24 show was, without a doubt, the appearance of Avellano muse Noah Cyrus who was recently featured on the French designers SS24 campaign as well a recent appearance in MARVIN Magazine . The finale ensemble, an off-the-shoulder gown with a 10-metre train, was her most stunning choice of clothing. This striking piece was made of latex which Avellano had thinned down to a satin-like appearance.

      VINNOIR Latex Steals the Show on Rose Villain in Nuova Scena

      news.movim.eu / Latex247 • 5 March, 2024 • 1 minute

    Italian singer-songwriter Rose Villain recently appeared wearing a full latex ensemble on Netflix Italia’s “Nuova Scena”.

    Reality TV series “Nuova Scena”, in which Fabri Fibra, Geolier and Rose Villain hit the streets of Rome, Naples and Milan to find the next Italian rap superstar has definitely allowed the Milan born singer to show off her unique and iconic fashion style. And a recent episode was no different as Rose Villain donned a latex catsuit and corset from Italian designer VINNOIR latex .

    Fresh from the appearance of BigMama at the Sanremo Music Festival wearing her exquisite latex designs, VINNOIR latex was the logical choice for the Italian based series. The iconic, intricately designed latex catsuit featured the avant garde VINNOIR meticulously handcut appliques over a semi-transparent base and was paired with a figure-hugging latex corset from the same designer. The Art Nouveau and future fashion looks we are used to from the latex designer were clearly on show. Here’s hoping we see Rose Villain wearing more shiny designs as the series progresses.

    Saweetie donned a figure-hugging red latex dress with a plunging neckline, reminiscent of Jessica Rabbit’s signature gown. The dress hugged her curves perfectly, and the bold colour left no room for subtlety. The dress, featuring an underwire bust and adjustable shoulder straps, is finished off with an exquiste curved high-cut slit.

    Publicising the release of her latest single entitled “Richtivities”, Saweetie took to her Instagram profile to showcase the incredible gown.

    Whilst there is sadly no confirmation on the artists Instagram page (come on celebs, tag the designer!), we reckon this dress is the Bondcon Gown from celebrity favourite Vex Clothing .

    Whether it’s a playful homage or a full-on fashion inspiration, one thing’s for sure: Saweetie’s latex fashion moment is sure to be remembered. It’s a bold move that proves the rapper is not afraid to take risks and experiment with her style. And with her confidence and charisma, Saweetie manages to make the look entirely her own.

    Mich Dulce, born Michelle Dianne Lopez Dulce is primarily known as a fashion designer and milliner, but her artistry extends far beyond fashion. A champion for social causes, she uses her platform to advocate for positive change. She’s also a multifaceted artist, lending her voice to bands, exploring acting, and even venturing into the world of visual arts. This diverse talent, coupled with her unwavering commitment to ethical practices, cements Dulce’s position as a unique and influential voice in the creative realm. Her journey transcends the boundaries of fashion, leaving an undeniable mark on the cultural landscape.

    With her designs worn by entrepenuer Rissa Mananquil Trillo and singer, actress, television presenter and songwriter Karylle , Mich Dulce has gained notoriety amongst the Filipina people.

    But for her recent collection, entitled “Reimagining the Amish”, Mich has taken inspiration from an unlikely source as her work has begun to be noticed outside of her native country. Speaking to Filipino based fashion magazine MEGA , Dulce speaks about her clear adoration of the Amish culture. “I’ve always been fascinated with the Amish and their restrictions in terms of dress—that they are only allowed to wear certain colors and styles,” Dulce explains. “I guess I find working with limitations interesting and inspiring!”.

    It’s the mix of these traditional flowing fabrics with latex which has sparked the most interest – something which is not generally considered Amish “friendly”. Keen to include a material that has not had as much interest in her native Philippines, Michelle described her wish to include a unique material. I have always been a fan of craft that other people or other designers don’t do,” Dulce shares. “So latex was kind of like that—no one was doing it here so I decided to learn it.”

    It’s this combination of shiny, smooth latex with rougher linen and cotton which provides a strong contrast. Whilst many latex garments are generally tight and designed to show off the wearers curves, Mich Dulce’s designers are flowing and loose providing a different aesthetic, thanks to the dresses and aprons which form large parts of the collection.

    With such a unique approach to the inclusion of latex apparel, we look forward to seeing what Mich Dulce produces in the future.
