Racing Latex Suit

This shoot introduced a brand-new mint-green catsuit with sharp cobalt blue racing stripes, which Grace Stout put on right away to see how the piece worked in front of the camera. Seated against a plain wall with concrete flooring, the bright, clean color palette gave the whole series real freshness, the suit's glossy finish catching light in broad, smooth sweeps that suited its bold, sporty stripe pattern.

The color pairing worked beautifully with her new red hair, the warm copper tone playing off the cool mint and blue to give the images a lively, energetic feel. Her collar completed the look at the neckline. She'd wanted to wear cuffs with the look, but since lighter-colored latex is prone to staining from metal lock hardware, the decision was made to skip them this time and protect the suit rather than risk marking the material.

Grace held relaxed, grounded poses while seated on the floor, one hand resting thoughtfully near her chin, letting the racing suit's design details read clearly against the simple backdrop. Finished with chunky white boots that added a sporty, casual note, the whole look came together as a strong debut for a striking new piece in the collection.
