Models Marthe Wiggers and Mathilda Tolvanen pucker up in latex fashion for Jalouse magazine. Photographed by Nobuyoshi Araki, the models look prim and proper with high ponytails adorned with over-sized bows and wavy pigtails. To balance out the over-the-top, girly looks, Marthe and Mathilda smolder in seriously sexy latex lingerie, layered under bulky chester coats.
The first look sends out a nostalgic 90’s throwback vibe, complete with a cut-out bralette, high waist shorts and matching thigh high leggings, all fashioned out of latex. The minimal eye makeup, heavy brows and chunky platform boots seal the deal on this retro look.
As the weather continues to play with all of our emotions, you can stay stylish and ready for anything. Opt for a graphic printed sweater, like an playful, eye-catching all over print from Kenzo, and pair it with a fitted latex skirt. A versatile outfit like this is perfect way to transition from the office to happy hour, or wherever your after-work antics take you.
Keep things cheeky and fresh by playing with proportion. A furry, slub knit sweater could make you lose your shape on its own, but not when paired with high-waisted shorts. Adding over the knee leggings and platform heels creates a fun, youthful vibe that’s ready for anything.
Grunge things out a bit by pairing a latex bra with an over the navel skirt. You can add a masculine detail, like a boyfriend blazer, to contrast a sexy accent like cut-out leggings and to keep things interesting. A slight swoop of cat-eye eyeliner and lace up boots complete this Nirvana-approved look.
Feminine details, like see through panelling and lace embroidery, are utterly irresistible and create a unique contrast for any latex bralette. Or, opt for a minimalist look with two-tone colors like black and white. A mini o-ring at the bust is a spicy detail that keeps a look from straying into fetishwear territory. Inspiration is everywhere, so take a peek at the series of “Baby Doll Latex” images for the September 2013 issue of Jalouse.

The over-the-knee leggings with platform heels create that youthful vibe mentioned, but still feel aligned with the editorial’s more polished direction.
The mix of prim ponytails with oversized bows and those glossy latex pieces really stood out, especially how Araki shot them under bulky chester coats.
Those chunky platform boots paired with latex leggings gave the whole first look a grounded edge instead of tipping into pure doll-like styling.
The heavy brows and minimal eye makeup were a great choice, letting the shine of the latex and bold silhouettes take center stage.
There’s a playful tension between the baby doll aesthetic and the overt sexiness of latex that Araki captures really well in this shoot.
The black and white two-tone minimalist look with the mini o-ring detail felt like a subtle way to keep things provocative but not over-the-top.
The idea of balancing a slouchy furry knit with high-waisted shorts and over-the-knee leggings is a clever way to keep proportions from getting lost.
I didn’t expect the combination of cut-out leggings and a masculine blazer to feel cohesive, but it actually adds depth to the look.
I like how the 90s throwback look with the cut-out bralette and high-waisted shorts didn’t feel costume-y thanks to the minimal makeup and heavy brows.
Layering latex lingerie under structured chester coats was my favorite styling trick here, it makes the whole concept feel more editorial than fetish.
The suggestion to pair a Kenzo-style graphic sweater with a latex skirt feels surprisingly wearable, especially for that office-to-happy-hour transition mentioned.
Something about the high ponytails and wavy pigtails against the slick latex textures creates a strange but compelling contrast that really works.
I appreciated the nod to Nirvana with the grunged-up latex bra and over-the-navel skirt, especially when finished with lace-up boots and a boyfriend blazer.
Using see-through paneling and lace embroidery alongside latex is a smart way to soften the material without losing its edge.
Marthe and Mathilda really sell the concept, especially how they keep that smoldering expression while dressed in such deliberately girly styling.
I like how the article frames latex as versatile rather than niche, especially with examples like pairing it with cozy knits or tailored outerwear.
The mention of keeping things cheeky through proportion really ties the whole piece together, especially when mixing oversized tops with fitted latex pieces.
