This past week I got the awesome latex design opportunity to create a custom latex catsuit for Katy Perry with lightning as the oufits theme. I'll need to scan and post my design sketch at some point as well to show you the original concept that I worked out with her amazing stylist Johnny Wujek but for now here's some screen shots of the real thing. Since Katy's dance routine for the show is so rigorous you can't really catch the whole of the latex outfit for very long but she's wearing lightning trimmed latex gloves, latex elbow pads, a latex lightning belt, black high waisted briefs and the piece that makes the outfit what it is, the latex lightning catsuit. Figuring out a way to create the lightning effect in a manner that would look good on camera, work in latex, and compliment her figure all while within a very limited time frame was a bit of a challenge but I was super happy with the end results, I love the lightning's "movement" on camera mixed with the lasers.

I also had the pleasure of working on latex shorts for the boys to wear during her performance. Unfortunately the dark lighting for the lasers tends to make it a bit hard to catch but you can kinda peep them in this shot and the video.
