Everyone’s got their own opinions on sexy space travellers. There are those who beg to lick Barbarella’s silver boots, those who seek to serve at the feet of Servalan (the icy space femdom of BBC’s Blake’s Seven fame), or those with the urge to orchestrate untoward, unspeakable filth upon Astroboy. Hey, there are even those who are eager to violate an ewok.

I have to admit I’ve always harboured a fetish soft spot for those soldiers of the Imperial Army of the Galactic Empire – the (almost) indomitable Stormtroopers. The armour suits / the masks / the masks / the masks… swoon!

So when I discovered that a beautiful and talented lady here in my very own home town of Brighton was designing and constructing her own creations in the shape of such Cosplay fantasies as a latex Stormtrooper catsuit, my rubber antennae pricked up right away!

Shoshanna Ani is the artistic designer and creator behind Shhh! Couture Handmade Latex. Having worked with latex in the first year of her BA Fashion degree, Shoshanna decided it was time to get creative. After working for a luxury latex clothing boutique as their in-house designer, it seemed natural to progress within latex. After getting her BA, Shoshanna created Shhh! Couture and has steadily risen in the latex world. It is her aim to create fun, exciting and sexy items that anyone and everyone can wear. Ranging from cupcake print dresses to sultry leopard print beauties, Shhh! Couture creates garments that bring out the femme fatale in every woman.

All Shhh! Couture latex items are hand crafted by Shoshanna in her studio. Each pattern is cut with precision to ensure customers purchase items that fit perfectly and flatter their figure. All items are available in standard UK sizes as well as made to measure (at no extra cost).

Shoshanna also tells me she has a Stormtrooper latex dress in the pipeline, as well as a matching hood, so watch this space… In the meantime, lust the other Cosplay creations in her catalogue such as the Mario inspired outfit which is seeing a lot of love down Fetlife way. Drool over her ultra cool studded biker jacket and studded hotpants and fawn over her faux fur collar jacket.

So, back to Stormtroopers…hothothot. For me, there`s only one scenario to top being kitted out in a latex space aggressor’s suit, and that`s to be on the receiving end of some strict discipline delivered by my play partner in a Darth Vader outfit fashioned in heavy rubber. My unholy imagination is rife with kinky space fantasies… beam me up Scotty!
