Bespoke · Couture Latex

A pink rococo fantasy in latex — a lace-print corset with a ruffled collar and fringed shoulders, floral appliqués and pearl draping, floating over a caged latex pannier.

This bespoke commission takes the language of 18th-century rococo court dress and rebuilds it entirely in latex. The silhouette is pure fantasy: a structured, boned corset in pink lace-print latex, crowned by a high ruffled collar and dramatic fringed shoulder pieces, then set over a wide caged pannier that recreates the historic pannier hoop in glossy pink latex bones.

Every detail by hand

Florals, fringe, pearls

The piece is layered with hand-applied detail: clustered fabric flowers in blush and pink, cascading latex fringe edged in crystal, rows of pearls and rhinestone chain draped across the neckline. The lace-print latex gives the corset the look of antique lace with the shine only real latex delivers.

The caged pannier

Structure in latex

The pannier is built as an open latex cage — slim glossy bones forming the wide, flat-topped rococo hip silhouette, then trimmed with more flowers so the structure itself becomes decoration.
