review: Joy Williams"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Latex designer Joy Williams hails from the UK and is one who thinks outside the box when it comes to innovating with latex sheeting as a medium for fashion design.\u00a0 She&#8217;s made intricate inlays that are truly couture, and she also one of the first designers we&#8217;ve encountered who is creating embossed latex fashions.<\/p>\n<p>She&#8217;s used a variety of methods for creating the &#8216;quilted&#8217; look by embossing latex with a substrate underneath the sheeting, and she&#8217;s also created floral and geometric shapes.\u00a0 Her work is truly captivating!<\/p>\n<p>Joy states on her Etsy profile:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Specialising in bold, contemporary designs, Joy\u2019s work shies from the stereotypical, utilizing traditional and cutting edge techniques to create exquisitely embellished pieces.\u00a0 Pieces from Joy\u2019s 2010\/11 collection take inspiration from 17th century Damascus glass with clean architectural silhouettes&#8230;\u00a0 The 2011\/12 collection takes this textural journey further, borrowing streamline, Deco geometry and translating it through quilting and paneling.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Checkout some of her designs below and if you&#8217;d like to learn more you can find her at the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a
