Bespoke · Latex Armor

A full suit of sci-fi armor rendered entirely in metallic purple latex — spiked pauldrons, a high collar, sculpted bust and chevron-paneled bodysuit, with matching thigh and shin guards.

This bespoke commission translates fantasy armor into wearable latex. Every plate is molded and airbrushed by hand in shifting shades of lilac and deep violet: a towering spiked collar, dramatic spiked shoulder pauldrons, a structured bust, and a chevron-paneled midsection that reads like segmented plating. Garter straps carry the look down to armored thigh and shin guards.

Molded by hand

Plates, spikes, panels

Latex armor lives or dies on structure. Each piece starts flat, then is molded, layered and airbrushed to give the plates dimension and that hard, metallic sheen — from the base bodysuit to the individually sculpted spikes.
