\"urban-latex-clothing\"<\/a>\u201cMEAT\u201d is the new streetwear collaboration between two London designers Bo Claridge and Alis Pelleschi with a love for all things latex<\/a>. Drawing from snippets of their youth, including British chav counter-culture, UK garage and raves, the designers re-imagined latex pieces with a futuristic edge. <\/span><\/p>\n

A past Spring\/Summer 2013 Collection entitled \u201c4D Fantasy\u201d employs latex trousers, tagged with graffiti and sassy messages, giving viewers a glimpse into their edgy style. Using simple silhouettes and clean pastels, MEAT takes a hint of 90\u2019s nostalgia and propels it out into a far-flung rave landscape, somewhere far in another galaxy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Recent collections like \u201cFantasy\u201d and A\/W \u201814 \u201cMutant\u201d have spot on clubwear and commercial appeal, with everything from saucy criss-crossed bikini tops, Ninja Turtle garter leggings and crop tops, and heart-emblazoned miniskirts. <\/span><\/p>\n

Designed for the survival of the sickest, a quick glance at the \u201cYour Sweet 666\u201d Skirt certainly gives things a cheeky, in-your-face vibe. \u201cWe want MEAT boys and babes to feel super sexy in their own skin, quite literally,\u201d the designers quote. You don\u2019t have to look twice to get a feel for the fearless empowerment and avant-garde sensuality imbued in their designs. <\/span><\/p>\n

Bo Claridge and Alis Pelleschi specialize in rubber wear, with a profound belief that latex can be elevated beyond fetish-wear circles. MEAT began in 2012, after the pair moved to London and began designing because they simply had nothing to wear to go out in. Celebrities and singers quickly caught wind of the budding talent, with the likes of Rita Ora, Grimes and Azealia Banks commissioning customized pieces. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDesigned for women of all ages who are taking control of their destiny\u2019s, their careers, their environment and the technology that surrounds them, through their commitment to continual learning,\u201d the designers said, envisioning a bright future and allowing the brand to constantly evolve with every season. <\/span><\/p>\n

Self-professed digital natives, Claridge and Pelleschi\u2019s glitch-themed style reflects the hyper tech-savvy landscape of today\u2019s modern world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
