With the new Alpha collection, Elissa Poppy continues to prove that lingerie can double as outerwear — and seriously statement-making outerwear at that. Staying true to the concept that earned the brand its “latex pioneer” reputation, the British label once again turns to premium latex. The lineup includes panties (thong and Brazilian cuts), catsuits, bras, stockings, a corset, shorts, and dresses — all crafted from top-grade latex.
Elissa Poppy pieces have always been provocative and unapologetically erotic, but in Alpha the designers seem to outdo even themselves. The innate sex appeal of latex is amplified through color, print, embellishment, and silhouette. Alpha is a heady mix of predatory leopard prints, metallic finishes, and an abundance of crystals.
The real showstoppers are the shorts, the asymmetrical catsuit (with one bare arm and one bare leg), the mini dress, and the leopard-print bra. The gleaming black version is just as striking. And yes, many of these styles are designed to step outside the bedroom, worn as tops or bold accessories in everyday looks.
