Rubber in Fashion

 

In the beginning, the use of rubber (which includes natural rubber, many types of synthetic rubbers, silicone rubber, PVC) is only for small ordinary things such as rubber bands, rubber gloves, tires, and garden hoses.  

Regarding latex, it can be used for prosthetics for Halloween or movies.

However, the closest possibility for latex to being worn as clothing were could only be seen in adult clothing. Also, latex is being used for costumes for music videos, movies.  

However, these days, Latex as one of the types of rubber has made it into the fashion industry. A quite number of celebrities have been spotted rocking their latex number. 

There are a few designers such as Acne Studios to Vetements have been having latex in recent seasons. But the question is whether real people will be able to wear it too? Well, one of the writers of Vogue wore a rubbery look from Kendall and Kylie Jenner’s eponymous label on a date, and the result in her own words "I was hooked", enough said. I attached her picture for you to decide, and if you would like to read her full story just click here

Moreover, if I discuss latex, I believe it is appropriate to discuss silicone too. And speaking of silicone, Kim Kadarshian was wearing a dress made of silicone to the 2019 Met Gala.
