1989 is forever engraved into fetish history as the day DeMasK's first boutique was opened and with it a legion of stampeding sexualities! Born in the liberal lands of Holland, on Amsterdam's then infamous Zeedijk, the founder Steve English laid the groundwork for what was to become an internationally renowned fetish label.

Word soon spread far & wide of DeMasK's designs and its impeccable craftsmanship. Kinksters came, bringing with them their own deires, and DeMasK reveled in dressing up & enhancing those kinks to perfection. Whilst its designs represented the whole spectrum of fetishes, its DNA lies deep in heavy rubber. Other DeMasK boutiques were sure to follow as the sheer demand required it.

DeMasK's influence didn't just start & stop in the changing rooms. They not only dressed their kinky-klients, but also gave them a super stage called EuroPerve, to see and be seen, whilst surrounded by thousands of other like-minded fetish friends. This much missed event will be returning in 2012.

Another historical event took place in August 2011, a passing of the DeMasK crown across to Anton & Louva. This married `Dream-Team', after being deeply involved with DeMask for many a year, duly answered their call of destiny, to proudly take their place on the shiny black throne of DeMasK.

Big plans are already in motion with new designs, a state of the art website and exciting events, with just a taste of things to come being a fabulous 5-star hardcore fetish & fashion show at November's Wicked & Wild, Wasteland. DeMasK is on its Mighty March once again!

The name "ego assassin" refers to the philosophy that one can remake themself into any person they want to be; if only they can set aside all preconceived notions about who they are. Latex, being the perfect medium for transformation, allows you to become any character or creature you wish to be.

Ego assassin, based out of Toronto, is owned and operated by James Hagarty, a graphic designer and screen printer, and Slinka, a former fetish model. We specialize in unusual prints and sleek, modern styles. We find inspiration in the future, metropolitan life, late nights that turn into brilliant mornings, acts of heroing and villainy, and sexy people running around naked.

WHAT IS KINK ENGINEERING?

Based in Toronto, Canada, Kink Engineering is the brainchild of "Mad_Scientist" and "Archean", who are latex enthusiasts and also trained engineers. With experience in mechanical design, material science, drafting, manufacturing, welding, machining, and especially a bent towards latex fetish, Kink Engineering is focused on making kinky ideas into kinky reality! We believe that bondage devices and clothing can be more than sexy; they can also be smart, functional and artistically designed. One common thread in our work is that we care about the quality and safety of our designs. We are the first to admit that we are slow to release new designs... this is because everything is throughly tested in our latex lab before it goes on sale.

Our philosophy is simple: "Do it right!" and we apply that to every aspect of our business as best we can.

Lovely Latex Fetish Haute Couture - "Be The Fantasy, Be The Passion"

Brigitte More presented her first Latex Collection in 2010 at Fetish Evolution, which was immediately a huge success. She is fascinated by latex, because of the smoothness of its texture, the smell of latex and by using colors and lube, which makes latex look shiny and liquid. This intensifies her fantasy and it makes her eager to create unique and exquisite designs all the time.

Brigitte More's "Lovely Latex" line for women are designs which are very feminine and sophisticated with a delicate touch. It emphasizes the female curves and it will make her look stunning and sexy, which is what all women want!

She recently has designed a male collection called "Malicious". It is a fresh and casual line. It is boyish, but masculine at the same time, with a futuristic and edgy look. A modern man will feel very comfortable in his latex "Malicious" suit.

Working with latex is much more than just a job, because there's no other material that is so natural and living yet absolutely futuristic looking. We take the work with it as a creative self-realization - for both to our customers and to ourselves. We take inspirations from everywhere: from the dreams to the most realistic things, from historical eras to the ultra modern. We enjoy the challenges that adapting something to latex means.

We love to observe when our customers wear their clothes at the first time and they love what they can see in the mirror - this is one of our main goal, to bring out that look as many times as we just can. Thus we take custom works and patternmaking seriously: in our shop everything is made-to-measure (including the hoods) and if someone returns to us, the next patterns will be like if they were made-to-fit.

I've been a big fan of latex for many years now. I trained as a fashion designer but never worked in this field until a chance visit to a latex studio rekindled my interest in clothing in 2003.

Since that time, I've been perfecting my skills and learning what items work best for other women.

I hope to offer a very basic range of well made latex at extremely reasonable prices, because I know how daunting it is to build a latex wardrobe from scratch, and how common it is to make ghastly mistakes in the beginning! My clothes will flatter you and kick start your wardrobe so you can add color, accessories and other exciting pieces later on, as you learn what you like best in latex!

Dix is the patient hands on creator of Fetasia Latex, he hand makes everything from customer and model's measurements to ensure a perfect fit. Fetasia love new challenges such as the Harlequin range, each diamond is hand glued together but it keeps Dix out of trouble when he makes one of these! They also love working with models who inspire them and also particular events, such as the famous Whitby Gothfest which resulted in their bat dress. A similar outfit is their ivy dress, covered in individual latex leaves which was custom made for a photographer in England. When Fetasia heard about the New York Rubber Ball/Miss Rubber World they couldn't wait to support it and it would be an honour to make outfits for the winners.

What is Vengeance Designs? A product of my endless creativity and uncontrollable imagination. A combination of clashing elements that form together into masterpieces. Vengeance Designs takes the world of fetish and alternative fashion to the next level. As a full-time fetish model, I find myself surrounded by the hottest alternative fashions with my favorite being latex. However, my approach to latex is much different than others. My fetish comes from transforming and manipulating rubber to create one-of-a-kind avant garde pieces that combine elements of royal queens, vintage vixens, and fetish sexpots. I go to school here in NYC at the Art Institute and everything I learn in school is applied to my work with latex. Right now I may just be a student, but once I graduate, I plan on taking the world by storm. But, until then, I'm looking to network here in the NYC fetish scene and dive deeper into the world of rubber and kink!
