RTL Garments by 'Rossi'
The following are some (low resolution) screenshots of a previous website that I used to own, the clothing shown is entirely from my own 'self-taught' bespoke designs and manufacturing methods, it is the second hastily put together website with regards to these items, offering just a very brief snapshot of 'some' of my 'other' designs which I use to manufacture and sell.
I was concerned with offering quality and fit, only the very best was good enough, hence the brand name! I would settle for nothing less and was striving to produce the perfect fit!
The garments contained smaller and stronger zips with an emphasis on producing a correct figure-hugging fit rather than something just average!
At the time there were no other latex catsuits like these with 'small' zips placed on the back.
Also shown here are some snapshots of a shop that I used to have. I sold my niche line of clothing along with fine Levante - Italian and British Johnathon Aston hosiery.
Why??! In 2005 I was medically discharged from the Army, due to the onset of a 'nasty' malignant grade 3 brain tumour, brought on by exposure to heavy metals within the workplace, chromium and manganese, long story and complicated! And very dodgy, i.e. - inadequate protection. I had retrained as a REME-Metalsmith which I loved, but would and could never again choose this as a viable job. Apart from the ongoing potential of fume and dust hazards, and reoccurrence, seizures affected the muscles in my arm, which at the time meant I could not produce the same movements necessary for welding. This work, like metalsmithing, was an outlet for my creative side!
The tumour was cut out and I received 6 weeks of radiotherapy, I'd run to the Royal Marsden from the train station (in my usual jeans and jacket etc..) and up the steep stairs rather than the escalators, I was fighting this and intending to live my life and be true to myself.
I'd just left the hospital after my op' and with my brother went to an 'expo' in London, I saw the catsuits and at first thought 'wow' then my second, was that if I removed the long zips that could not stretch and made the waists much narrower I would produce a much sleeker suit!
So I then set about teaching myself using basic principles and a small amount of research, my methods of manufacture were unique, along with my items!
The latex tops with semi-transparent cups shown below took a massive amount of time to develop to achieve the correct fit and alignment, the green is an 'A' cup and the blue is a 'B' cup, they look similar although the base of the green has no depth / extra material to it. Both these and the red catsuit were part of a commissioned 'Barbarella' catsuit development phase! The prominence of the red suit is the result of stitching plastic 'Christmas' half-spheres onto 'B' cups and then glueing over strips of latex before inserting them into the suit.
Due to the 'Covid-19' outbreak, and other factors I had decided to resurrect some of the previous sectors of my business..... which were always just on the 'backburner'!!

2024 - Latex is now / has been for several years now a growing legitimate and trendy item of clothing onboard the world's elite top catwalks and celebrity social circles. Paired with vanilla garments and fabrics latex can be a wonderful fashion statement piece. Plus of course, it feels incredible to wear!
