Joining latexperiment in Highstyle

Beth May brought a dramatic contrast to the industrial setting with this striking Highstyle look. Known already from Ballet Heels, she now wanted to explore a different angle, something with a bold, fashion-forward statement. I suggested the bridal dress over black latex, and she immediately embraced the concept. The layered tulle, corset, and puffed sleeves gave the silhouette a sculptural elegance, while the glossy black latex underneath kept the whole look sharp and unexpected.

The setting—machinery, pipes, cold concrete created exactly the type of tension we wanted between formality and grit. Beth moved with full confidence, understanding how to hold space and command the frame. Her theatrical experience showed in the smallest gestures, and it allowed the soft layers of the dress to flow and shift around the structured latex. The styling felt extravagant without being costume, which was key in keeping it grounded in fashion.

What made this shoot stand out was how naturally Beth connected with the styling. She didn’t just wear the look; she performed it. Her interest in Highstyle seems more than justified, and I could see her pushing even further into that space. This session was the right step to test that direction, and the results speak for themselves.
