Latex Fashion

The Metropolitan Musem of Art in New York had a very nice exhibition in the year2008 about the fashions of Super Heroes and how they have inspired the fashion scene. Among the featured items there was Thierry Mugler’s famous sexy robot suit, a full body shell out of metal and transparent plastic, that transforms the wearer into a sort of living robot. Some of Mugler’s other designs were shown as well, most of which have a lot of fetish influence.

When Beyoncé Knowles saw those items, she approached Mugler to design the outfits for her new “I am …” world tour. The result is very interesting, maybe not latex, but certainly very fetish inspired.

And apparently Beyoncé couldn’t resist the temptation to get into that sexy robot suit herself. Well, who could. . Unlike everybody else however, she actually had the chance to become that chrome plated robot and Thierry Mugler even modified it slightly for her. Robot-Beyonce appears in a videoclip on a big screen during the concert. I guess that alone should be worth buying a ticket.
