Zuss Fashion Design Recycles Inner Tubes
Imagine a heap of used inner bicycle tubes, scissors, a pincher and hands; this is the material Zuss works with.
Zuss's creative quest started in 1997 and was to explore the possibilities of this material transforming them into wearable art, it felt like sculpturing and the challenge was to work with the restricted forms and shapes.
Zuss is an independent autodidactic artist and masseuse from The Netherlands (EU) and creates one of a kind, unique and out of the box designs and takes custom orders from all over the world. Shireen S. is guest-designer and made the Silver Stream Bag.
Zuss was a guest at The National Arts Club in NYC, was featured in Ripley's Believe it or Not Show, BBC's Hands ON! programme, Gothic Beauty Magazine, etc.
Customers were the Bass player "The Dodge" of Seven Eleven, Artist Rene Capone SF, and various Burning Man attenders, performers worldwide, people up front and beyond.
Photographers love to shoot Zuss Designs, as the NYC Israel Colon and Ron Scharis from The Netherlands.
Online since 1999, www.zuss.com received millions of visitors from all over the world and the recycling aspect turned out to be inspirational and educational.
Zuss is the sensitive, spiritual and intuitive kind of person who has strong feelings concerning our environment and feels deeply connected to Mother Earth and the Universe, this is why recycling is such an important issue.
"...the oxygen you breathe, the calcium in your bones, the iron in your blood : all these elements were synthesized in the fiery centers of the stars, cast out into space, and recycled as material for our own Sun and Earth and all its life."
Zuss believes that All IS One; that everybody and everything is connected through all times.
Lust Designs has been making the world a shinier place since 2005. We specialize in intricate applique work, custom curve-hugging designs and uniquely devilish latex that reflects your sexiest self.
Designer Penny McClish has had a love for all things dress-up since the first time she tried on her mom's shiny, patent pumps as a little girl. After receiving her design and costuming degree she branched out from her work at the opera to try her hand at something a little kinkier; latex! Creating her own latex dresses & costumes to wear to events all over San Francisco quickly caught the attention of other curvy ladies interested in something a little different. That was when Lust Designs was born and she has been creating sexy, edgy latex ever since!
All of our garments are hand-crafted in our studio in Berkeley, Ca. We are proud to provide high-quality, comfortable garments that are not only sexy, but fun to wear!
"Custom Creations for the Discerning Deviant" isn't just our tagline, it's our passion.
2012 SPONSOR DEMASK
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!
2012 SPONSOR EGO ASSASSIN
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.

2012 SPONSOR KINK ENGINEERING
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.
2012 SPONSOR LOVELY LATEX
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.
Wearing a Lovely Latex design means it is time to go out and shine!
