Yet, at London Fashion Week, Leith did just that, captivating onlookers in a bold ensemble by designer duo Vin + Omi.

The look, a far cry from Leith’s usual brightly coloured attire, featured a form-fitting black latex dress accented with daring red contrast stitching. Add to this the pièce de résistance, a pair of striking latex evening gloves which added a touch of edgy glamour to the ensemble. The designers, known for their commitment to sustainable practices, seemed to channel a touch of playful rebellion, with Vin stating his intention to “sex her up” for the show.
While the use of latex in fashion often sparks debate, Vin + Omi’s commitment to eco-conscious design offers a fresh perspective. Their collaboration with King Charles on sustainable fabric development, incorporating unexpected materials like nettles and wood chippings from the Sandringham estate, speaks to their innovative approach. The inspiring choice of Prue Leith to sport latex, especially in the context of sustainable fashion, challenges conventional notions of age-appropriate style and highlights the versatility of this often-misunderstood material.
Although the show itself wasn’t officially part of the London Fashion Week schedule, Leith’s appearance generated significant buzz. By embracing latex within a collection focused on environmental responsibility, Vin + Omi, alongside Dame Prue, ignite a conversation about pushing boundaries in both fashion and sustainability.
