I would never have thought until working on this shoot for Contributing Editor that latex could be used with such skill to make something so unique and incredible but also very beautiful. All the outfits were by the amazing designer Atsuko Kudo who stylist Kate Ruth wanted to feature and interview for this story. Atsuko is based in a studio in London where she has created bespoke and couture outfits for the likes of J Lo, Lady Gaga and Beyonce. Expect to see more wonderful creations from this incredible designer! To read Kate’s interview with Atsuko just click onto the link.  http://www.thecontributingeditor.com/2011/05/our-lady-of-latex/
