Der Putsch Party flyers at Jane’s Wine Bar from 1984. Being a young art, music, and fashion crowd, in our early 20s, we varied design style for the fun of it. Formulaic interpretation and repetition being dull. The emphasis was on different friends designing a unique flyer for each event. We spent years in R&D, working with several different manufacturers through dozens of rounds of prototypes. We eventually determined how to use the latex dipping process (also used for condoms) to make clothing items like Lorals,” she said. “Our product and our process are utility-patent pending in the U.S. and in several countries internationally.” In its purest form, latex is a milky consistency found in over 20,000 plant species. Similarly to sap, latex hardens to form an elastic material. Its earthy beginnings mean natural rubber latex is a vegan and sustainable material. However, some people can be allergic to natural rubber latex. When was latex first used?
As for Westward Bound, we continue to be a successful and trusted designer and supplier of luxury latex garments. We take pride in the clothing we produce. Aiming to create garments that are beautiful to look at while retaining the bohemian spirit that is so central to the history of latex clothing design. Latex at Westward Bound Three original Der Putsch, London based Fetish Club flyers from 1984. Der Putsch eventually morphed into Westward Bound Our technological advance was to engineer latex clothing that looks and feels like lingerie, yet is as thin as a condom. That had never been done before,” she said. Imagine trying to maneuver a tongue around a taut piece of latex fashion underwear — your tongue would get exhausted real fast,” Cristol said. “Also, novelty latex clothing is super sexy to many people, but it’s not as widely appealing as a fabric like silk or satin. We wanted Lorals to feel like regular lingerie, while still providing the non-porous and elastomeric properties of latex.”The arrival of the late 1950s saw leather fetish fashion come out of hiding. Mostly thanks to the clothing-engineering skills of John Sutcliffe, whose clothing brand “AtomAge” set the path for others to follow. By 1967, Sutcliffe’s attention turned to including latex clothing construction in his repertoire. He would become a revered name within the leather and latex world. Entering the mainstream Hygiene Clause - Garments of an 'intimate nature', such as thongs and briefs are unable to be returned for reasons of health protection and hygiene.
Robert C’s wonderful treatment of Horst P. Horst’s iconic Mainbocher Corset photograph. It was adapted and delivered as an engineered homage to the legendary photographer and the shoot at Vogue studios, Paris in August 1939. Lorals are single-use for the same reasons condoms are single-use,” Cristol said. “When you pull them off (especially in the heat of the moment), they tend to lose their form.” Latex is a material found in hundreds of items we use every day. Tyres, medical equipment, balloons. Innocuous items that you may not give a second thought to. However, latex has a fascinating and contentious history, a history that, without, Westward Bound would simply not exist. What is latex? Perceived by many as “perverse”, it wasn’t long before rubber clothing and what it represented became a taboo topic. The case for latex lovers also wasn’t helped by a wave of social conservatism following the second world war, and the movement was forced underground. With a wealth of partying experience and an unbridled creative spirit, we created Der Putsch in 1983. A London-based leather and latex fetish club. Secretive yet trail-blazing and a vital piece in the Westward Bound jigsaw. For a while, we ran a contemporaneous party night, in the same venue as the AtomAge private parties, at Jane’s Wine Bar in Northumberland Street; long since vanished. Used in the daytime by assumed government agents, based at Admiralty Arch, and by the fetish crowd twice a month on a Saturday.It was a perverse and quintessentially English arrangement.Steve Beech bumped into John Sutcliffe whilst wandering down Dryden Street, Covent Garden in 1981/82. The two started talking and the seeds of Westward Bound were sown. So if Lorals can help women receive more oral sex, we’ll get closer to solving the orgasm gap,” Cristol said. Following this outward resurgence of latex and its newfound rebellious spirit, latex entered the mainstream. Now, it’s not uncommon to see latex gracing red carpets. However, latex’s heart and soul still lie in the underground fetish communities and subcultures. Mark Foreman (Alumnus, Royal College of Art). A reworked classic punk vibe, with a twist, was a neat retro-reflection by 1984. As we post this blog in 2022, Mark has recently left his position as lecturer on illustration at Falmouth University to concentrate on his work as an illustrative artist in St Ives, Cornwall. but i want to keep that account safe, which is why i have created a new mediafire file share where i am putting together all the mods for the authors i have.
