As we conclude 2023 there are some designers we didn’t get a chance to feature more prominently—but we may do in 2024.
Berlin designer Cathleen Reinheckel does some impressive work with latex, blending it with other fabrics for some wonderful effects under her brand name Lüllepop. The company stresses that as latex is from the rubber tree, it is a renewable resource, and its extraction is done ecologically by hand. The latex is free of solvents, CFCs and carcinogenic chemical plasticizers.
We spotted one outfit where she’s combined latex with chiffon, and she’s worked similar magic with lace (for a lingerie range). Where she uses latex exclusively, the results are amazing, such as with her slip-over featuring a cable-knit pattern on the front.
Lüllepop also has a range of laser-cut earrings using latex and silver with a contemporary, triangular shape.
