LATEX POWER DRESSING: LIBIDEX DEBUTS POWER & POSE COLLECTION

Power & Pose is a brand new latex collection just launched by Libidex — designed for women everywhere who want to embrace latex power dressing, or want to embrace it to an even greater degree!

As the name suggests, this new collection, comprising more than 150 new styles, is not for the faint-hearted, offering as it does everything from no-nonsense, full-coverage garments that would sit very well in any domina’s wardrobe to the skimpiest creations likely to be favoured by those of a more submissive inclination. And in this collection you’ll find lots of strappy, bondage-influenced designs as well as numerous decorative detailing such as buckles, frills, lacing, appliqué motifs and other bold embellishments.

So in this article, we’re going to look at a selection of designs representing the main garment categories covered by the new Collection.

First, however, let’s have a quick recap on the origins of power dressing. Although the concept (if not the term) has long been associated with BDSM roleplay, the phrase itself came into mainstream usage in the mid-to-late 1970s to describe ‘masculinised’ fashions intended to help women to assert their authority in the male-dominated business world.

It was primarily two French designers — Claude Montana and Thierry Mugler — who took the concept forward into the 1980s, popularising the massive shoulder pads and tight skirts that came to define that decade as the era of power dressing. Since then, elements of the concept have been revisited often by mainstream fashion, but with the look’s indebtedness to fetish/BDSM style increasingly acknowledged, as kink itself has grown in acceptance.

Today, the prevalence of celebrities wearing latex confirms the power of the fabric to command attention, almost regardless of what garments it is fashioned into. Just wearing latex can be enough to imbue one with the sense that one is latex power dressing. But for many others, the potential of imaginatively designed latex fashions to further ramp up the particular power narrative we personally embrace will be of much greater interest. And that’s exactly where Libidex’s new Power & Pose Collection comes in!

From the sheer fetish haute couture splendour of our Lilith Gown (top image, right and far right) to the downright high-end trendiness of the Tuxedo Jumpsuit (top, left and,far left) Libidex promises that the new collection offers something for everyone and every occasion.

This, we maintain, is much more than just a fetish fashion collection — there are some expertly crafted, bondage-inspired gems too. Check out the Armelle Dress (second image, centre left) which combines a dress with a straitjacket, the multi-strap-fronted Brooke Dress (second image, centre right) and the Cindy Corset Dress, a full-length, tight-fitting gown with bondage features (second image, far right) to name but a few! And just because we can, we are also giving you the world’s first (we believe) Female Jodhpur Catsuit (second image, far left). You can thank us later!

All this is now on offer for your latex power dressing needs — and that’s even before you get to our new bras and knickers available in a plethora of harness styles. Examples of these can be found in our third image, which, from left to right, features our new Whitney Harness Bra, backless Kourtney Knickers, frilly and strappy Bridget Knickers and Quinn Knickers with their cheeky peek-a-boo rear!

Our fourth image shows, from left to right, a quartet of these comprising the underbust-style Adreena Skirt, Myra Cargo Skirt, Celia Buckle Skirt and ankle length Taylor Underbust Skirt. And we’ve really gone to town on new aprons such as the Adley Apron (above, far left), Jemima Apron (above, second left) and Kenza Apron, available in a long version as well as the Kenza Apron (Short) shown above, centre right. And on the far right of the same image, you’ll see our new Hayden Leggings with their navel-exposing cut-out.

As well as masses of new dresses, the new Power & Pose Collection includes corsets and coats with more buckles, frills, lacing and appliqué motifs than ever before. Below, from left to right, you can see our Astrid Corset, Sapphire Corset, Lorna Coat and Lauren Coat (complete with hood).
