Latex designer review: Pandora Deluxe
A self-professed latex enthusiast, the designer loves to create well-fitted clothes that are high quality. Mags began to create latex outfits for cosplay in 2009, inspired by many video game characters. In 2011, Mags created PandoraDeluxe.com while simultaneously studying for a PhD in Cosmology through Queen Mary London University.
After struggling to balance the increasing demand for latex products, the designer decided to end their PhD studies in order to focus on Pandora Deluxe and design work. In May 2012, Pandora Deluxe launched a new collection called “Ka-Pow!” which was inspired by female superheroes and total feminist icons.
The designer has had several big fashion debuts at events like the Sci-Fi London Film Festival, German Fetish Ball and Amsterdam’s Dominatrix Party in 2013. In Amsterdam, Pandora Deluxe captured the hearts of many latex fans, who were mesmerized by the bold use of color and modern details. With a universally flattering appeal, many of the designs incorporate built-in bras and edgy accents like straps, O-Rings, buckles and other eye-catching details. Since then, Pandora Deluxe has achieved international acclaim, and the designer has been hard at work to expand with even more unique collections.
Pin up girls and latex enthusiasts alike will adore the pieces from Pandora Deluxe. For a retro-inspired feel, look to the Selina Latex Dress, which features a wild leopard print and a form-fitting design. In a similar vein, the Liliana Leopard Print Latex Dress features a flirty keyhole design at the chest and a sleek O-ring accent at the neck.
Get inspired and take a minimalist approach with the chic latex plunge dress. Featuring a deep cut v neckline, this style looks totally on-trend and party ready. For more unique looks, the Bang! Latex dress features a comic-book inspired approach, and the words, “Bang!” written in an action bubble. Other head-turning dresses include an all over galaxy print dress, complete with a chest harness and a cute skater skirt style. For more of a Halloween style, the Blood Splatter Latex Dress looks so daring and fierce, complete with a slick finish and horror-inspired design.
Pandora Deluxe has generated tons of buzz for their design work involving chest harnesses and jaw-dropping designs. The SpellBound O-Ring dress is a prime example, featuring a low plunging neckline and an O-ring accent at the center. Others might gravitate towards the v-neck harness bra, or the equally fierce Kira Lace Up Dress.
If you’re still looking for latex inspiration, get a closer look at the Mireya Latex Pencil dress, complete with rows of studded and spike accents on the shoulders. For an added dose of vintage chic, look towards the Faye Latex Harness dress, featuring an O-ring accent and layers of strappy details fanning out from the center. The panels of leopard print on the front look oh so chic. If you’ve ever been intrigued by latex fashion, but didn’t know where to begin, be sure to check out Pandora Deluxe for some serious style inspo.
