Filth Latex - The Shiny Sofa - Latex Fashion Podcast

·1 hr 17 min·5 clips
Stuart explains how the Sex Pistols' fashion and Malcolm McLaren brought fetish to the high street, inspiring his latex work.
Episode 12 opens with the usual sofa catch-up. The Latex 24-7 intro brings up latex at the Brits, a new Shikushu Boutique collection, Michel Dolch, and the guest spot with Stuart from Filth Latex and Latex Lottie. The mood is easy and encouraging, but the talk soon gets very hands-on. Stuart gets space to explain what good latex work actually looks like, and the episode is better for it. Seams become the thing everyone keeps coming back to. Stuart says every seam has to be completely smooth, then admits he studies seams on Instagram with that same eye. It is maker talk, in the best sense. The zip dress gives him a useful example: cut each zip section badly and the ends can weaken, which ruins the finish before the garment even has a chance. The host clearly likes hearing someone care that much. There is a warm little argument running through the chat that latex can be luxury fashion, so the craft is not extra decoration. It is the point. Latex Lottie adds the model's side. She remembers first talking with Stuart in early December and being pulled in because his designs felt different from what she had seen, before the collection was even out. That makes her enthusiasm feel less like a plug and more like she noticed his style early. The episode keeps moving between wearability and spectacle. Stuart talks about pushing his skill level, especially with piping that can bend around curves and future dresses that may use it. Even when the subject gets technical, the words stay plain: curves, zips, seams, dresses, and whether the final piece looks clean. The ending stays chatty. Stuart mentions TikTok and Twitter, then jokes that his first TikTok video has already been banned.
