The newest wrinkle in town, vinyl and latex debuted on designer runways in recent seasons. The bespoke fabric that distinctly gives a second skin vibe belongs to the extreme and edgy fashion arena. Sustainable and a plant-derived fabric, latex was formerly perceived as an exclusive fabric for fetish fashion. Taming the fabric and giving it a street style nomenclature, designers and celebrities like Kardashians and Jenners have also rendered it as a wardrobe must-have. The slick, stretchy, powerfully charismatic fabric in varied styles is a bold and unconventional fashion choice. But lending their svelte frames to some stunning latex ensembles were Shraddha Kapoor, Bhumi Pednekar, Ananya Panday, Kriti Kharbanda, Sonakshi Sinha. As opposed to risque vibes, a plausible sophistication is attainable with latex or vinyl.
The shocking trend of Latex has dominated the runways and pop culture this season. Latex is synonymous with hypersexuality and the key to achieving an eye-popping vibe with this vegan fabric is to keep the other elements of the look muted. An after-hours fashion trend that is quickly transitioning into a daytime one; here's how our beloved B-townies embraced the vinyl trend and had fun with the incredibly sleek, glossy and dramatic fabric.
