pink latex rose dress

This latex dress was one of the more complex pieces to work with, far more challenging to capture in stills than a sleek catsuit. The deep pink latex, decorated with layered roses, creates both volume and movement that demand the right angles and light. It’s a piece that sits between sculpture and fashion, needing not only a model but someone who can bring it to life. With Leila Herring, I knew this challenge could turn into something special.

Her presence added exactly what the dress required. The fitted base hugged her figure, while the large rose details stood out in contrast, catching shadows and highlights with every subtle shift. In her black heels, she elongated the silhouette, balancing the playful extravagance of the dress with sharp elegance. Against the minimalist concrete and glass architecture, the bright latex stood out even more, bold and vivid, yet not out of place.

We didn’t just stop at photos. Capturing the way the roses moved with her steps and how the material reflected light in motion was essential, so a video was created as well. Watching her glide through the space, the dress transformed with each angle, proof that Leila was the right choice for this latex piece. It was less about simply wearing a dress and more about performing with it, and she did so effortlessly.
