Founded in London, designer Claire Yurika Davis originally kicked things off in 2013. A mash-up of British and Japanese sensibilities, HANGER was born. The brand is noteworthy for their commendable and sustainable garment creation, making everything by hand in London.
H.Studio is a new addition to the family, acting as a sub-brand of the HANGER line. H.Studio seeks to bypass the markups from traditional retailers, so all of the products are exclusively available for sale online. Each garment is unique and has a hand marked stamp, as an added bonus for the customer to see that the garment was created by hand.
Futuristic and chic, their O-Ring Motor Sleeved Latex Bodysuit from the Autumn/Winter 2016 collection is certainly a head-turner. With sleek lines and a minimalist aesthetic, this is one piece look is a must try for any latex aficionado. For another alternative outfit, look to the Translucent Latex Wrap skirt for inspiration.
The sheer style is definitely eye-catching, but when layered over a pair of fishnets, it’s totally lust-worthy. Inspired by her Japanese heritage, the designer channeled that inspiration into her A/W 16 Collection. The Tokku Fokku Latex Jacket has a stunning oversized style, perfect for a relaxed look that’s in need of a little edge.
Style with a crop top or a strappy top for a look that’s extra sharp. Amp up the drama with a pair of latex single strap overalls. Also known as dungarees, opt for a wide legged style that evokes a serious seventies vibe. For accessories, get inspired by her alternative, punk-inspired picks. An O-ring choker definitely looks cool by itself, but when made with latex, it takes things to a whole new level.
Latex is an instant way to give everything a distinct, sleek feel, no matter where you’re headed. Take some serious fashion inspiration from British design brand called HANGER.

H.Studio being a sub-brand is a smart move, especially if it allows experimentation while keeping the main HANGER line more curated.
The oversized Tokku Fokku jacket paired with a crop top is a great styling tip, balancing volume on top with something more fitted underneath.
Those single strap latex overalls with a 70s vibe caught my attention, especially since wide-legged silhouettes aren’t common in latex design.
The translucent wrap skirt layered over fishnets is such a simple styling idea, but it completely transforms the piece into something more wearable.
The article made me appreciate how much detail goes into each piece, especially with the hand-marked stamps confirming they’re individually crafted.
That O-Ring Motor Sleeved bodysuit sounds intense but the minimalist lines keep it from looking overdone, which is rare for statement latex.
It’s refreshing to see a brand focus on sleek minimalism instead of overly complicated latex designs, especially with something like that bodysuit.
I didn’t realize HANGER pieces are all handmade in London, and that hand-stamped detail makes each garment feel like a collectible rather than just another latex item.
I appreciate how the article highlights versatility, since pieces like the wrap skirt can shift from bold to wearable just by layering differently.
I wasn’t expecting a punk influence, but the latex O-ring choker example really ties the whole aesthetic together in a subtle way.
I like how H.Studio cuts out retail markups by going online-only, it makes sense for a niche brand where customers already know what they want.
The mix of British and Japanese influence really shows in pieces like the Tokku Fokku jacket, especially with that oversized silhouette that still feels structured.
Claire Yurika Davis blending sustainability with latex fashion is interesting since most people don’t associate latex with ethical production at all.
The A/W 16 collection sounds cohesive, especially with the Japanese inspiration showing through in both structure and styling choices.
