la la LATEX

Has anyone told Lady Gaga about this woman?!

The other night my friend was lucky enough to encounter designer Jacqueline Marie, a self-proclaimed designer specializing in Latex Couture. Clad in her just-short-of-transparent latex cocktail dress, she revealed that she'd previously attended Duke University. However, in not-so-reckless abandon, she dropped her studies and moved to our favorite insomniac city to pursue something closer to her own heart. According to the biography on her website, she'd gone out shopping with a girlfriend when she came across a latex dress. Although the dress didn't suit her body as well as she would have liked, she was exposed to the feel of latex against her skin. And so, she was never the same, launching a line of latex. Now, as you can see, her rubber-cement-seamed ("Why not?" she revealed, "It's rubber, after all.") dresses make quite the statement. Can you believe she never spent a day of her life in design school??

Loving the latex,
