Attendees showed class and elegance with more traditional outfits, while other WTA party-goers preferred to turn up the volume with exciting new looks. Heather Watson made sure to arrive prepared, toting a matching umbrella to her darling latex dress, ensuring that no rainy weather would ruin her glamorous look.<\/p>\n<p>Designed by Brett Mettler, the latex frock came in an olive green hue with lots of flirty volume. \u201cShe wanted something a little more risqu\u00e9 and edgy but still very playful. A lot of my own experience lies in using latex in a high fashion way, trying to bring it to a different audience through light and fun colors, cuts and formats. It seemed a great overlap for us to explore, so I started coming up with some latex concepts and we worked through a few iterations to make sure that it was something Heather could get excited about,\u201d Mettler told WTA Tennis.<\/p>\n<p>The a-line dress featured a voluminous, full skater skirt, several large cutout designs on the front, mirrored by a sexy open back design. \u201c&#8230;we knew that this year, going out in latex was always going to be a point of conversation. It was either going to push the envelope, or push the envelope too far. I think we got it just right: unique and cheeky, but playful and elegant.\u201d Mettler spoke about Watson\u2019s dress.<\/p>\n<p>Mettler studied at the acclaimed Central St. Martins, where he explored new possibilities with latex fabric. \u201cI really wanted to see how latex could be incorporated with non-latex materials to create more exciting outfits and looks. It really does makes you feel sexy though, so I recommend everyone have at least one signature latex piece in their closet: that pair of leggings or jacket that sets a look off!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Eager to follow in Heather Watson\u2019s footsteps?
