Featured in their previous release for single “Digital Dolls”, latex fashion has become a staple of their music videos which form part of their crowdfunded Rebirth EP.  With a clear vision to shake off the groups previous dark, gothic look – the group have encapsulated latex fashion to create eye-catching and striking music videos.

The Hamburg-based duo, Kira Sinister and Michael Albers, who are lead-singer/songwriter and guitarist, composer and songwriter respectively spoke to Latex24/7 exclusively about their styling choices and the message behind the single before its release.

“Kerosene is about finding your way again after feeling stuck in life.”, Kira tells us – no doubt a situation many of us have felt at some point. “It describes the painful but powerful process of reigniting yourself when everything feels frozen and numb – until you finally burn bright again.”, an accessible and identifiable concept for many. Sinister continues, “The lyrics capture that transformation: from stillness and suffocation to fire, energy, and the strength to move forward.”

The latex outfits worn by Kira (with styling and make-up by the ever-talented Elisanth Photography) for the music video for “Kerosene” are not only present for their visual appeal but also form an integral part of the narrative. “Latex and PVC fashion plays a central role in the storytelling of the video,” the group confirms to us. “Each outfit represents a stage of this transformation. For example, the matte PVC hooded cape (Artifice Clothing) and matching bra (Ayya Wear) combined with a silver latex pencil skirt (William Wilde) stands for the beginning – pale, colourless, and motionless.” This monotone colour palette and hooded outfit clearly portrays someone who is self-conscious and wishing to ‘hide away’ from the world.

As the protagonist of the video continues her journey, the outfits take on a more sensual theme. “With the progress of the song, more movement enters the visuals, and I swap the cape for a short bolero (Artifice Clothing).” Kira explains to us. “Here, the tighter cut and more visible skin symbolize the moment of becoming more comfortable in my own body again.”

Within the final act of the track the star fully blossoms, which comes with its own costume change. “The shiny black latex dress (William Wilde) and long latex gloves (Westward Bound) embody the confident femme fatale look I wanted to bring to life.” Kira excitedly tells us. “I wear this in the camera-revolving scenes, where the strength and intensity of the lyrics are mirrored visually.”

The transformative nature of latex clothing is something we have covered here frequently on Latex24/7, in particular its empowering nature. With the launch of their new single, The Original Sin have conceptualised and embraced this approach fully. Adding a final comment to sign off, Sinister tells us about the reasoning behind the inclusion of latex fashion. “Overall, the outfits are not just styling elements but an integral part of the story – they give form and texture to the emotional journey of the song. And on a personal note: I just love the feeling of wearing latex and unique pieces like the bolero.” What better excuse does anyone need!
