Latex often times conveys the image of fetish gear; however, designer Jac Langheim has taken latex to a whole new, more wearable level in the Jac Lengheim Spring 2011 collection.
The Jac Lengheim Spring 2011 collection is made predominately out of latex. What I find most intriguing about her collection is the spin she puts on the material. Rather than focusing on latex as an object of sex appeal, she turns it into something elegant that can be worn daily.
Photographed by Charlie Wan, the Jac Langheim Spring 2011 lookbook showcases the versatility of the material. From rubber trench coats to blouses, cocktail dresses and rubber jeans, pieces from the collection show the true talent of Jac Langheim.
