London-based latex designer Atsuko Kudo is the woman behind Beyonce’s futuristic Met Gala gown and the fierce costume on her Formation tour.

While she counts Kim Kardashian, Kate Moss, Taylor Swift, Arianna Grande, Lady Gaga and Rita Ora as fans, she said getting the Queen or Duchess of Cambridge in one of her super slinky creations would be a true coup.

“I always said that I’d like to dress the Queen but if I could dress the Duchess of Cambridge as well that would be amazing!” she told news.com.au.

“We would want to make it look elegant,” she said of the material that has recently come out of the fetish closet and into the mainstream.

“Sometimes you maybe want to just slip on a pencil skirt and maybe put a mohair jumper or something like that and sometimes you might want to just wear a vintage dress with gloves and a belt and a hat. Or sometimes, you want to stand out and wear a dress, it’s hard to tell.”

It wouldn’t be the first time the Queen has had an encounter with the edgy designs that are becoming the go-to choice for celebrities who want to make an impact.

The Japanese-born designer credits Lady Gaga wearing one of her gowns to meet her majesty as a moment that brought latex into the mainstream.

“At the time I think that changed quite a lot because it was still latex, so quite underground, but everyone knew that Gaga was going to meet the Queen and they were a bit worried about how she was going to wear it and if it was going to be shocking.”

She said it was a major relief to see the Queen smiling in picture which were a true “Elizabethan and Victorian” meeting, bringing together her passion for latex and background in costume design.

That moment, followed by Kim Kardashian wearing a pink dress on a visit to Melbourne in 2014 have helped bring latex firmly into the mainstream, she said.

“What’s really interesting is that after she wore latex, more curvy ladies have started to get into the latex and I think that’s really amazing because it’s not just about supermodels wearing it.

“I think latex is for women to embrace female curves and [Kim] certainly has got curves so I think she empowered so many curvy ladies to enjoy their curves.”

Now, women of all ages, shapes and background seek out designs from her tiny shop in London’s Holloway Road, next door to a former sex-shop where she used to work and met her husband, Simon who also works on the brand.

The material is bought in large sheets and glued together rather than sewn to provide a seamless effect. She said you can’t help but feel “empowered” wearing the material which makes her feel like a superwoman — an effect that has seen Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry and Arianna Grande seek it out.

While she has to remain tight-lipped about upcoming projects, she said there are some films and male outfits in the pipeline.

“Latex changes ordinary life to extraordinary. When you slip on latex clothes everything becomes like magic.”

“It’s figure hugging like a super body con outfit and if it’s cut properly to your body it works like shapewear. If you just go to a normal shop and try on any size that doesn’t really fit you, it could work the opposite way but if it cuts to your size nicely and it holds you in, push up the things you like to get from — it does magic to a woman’s body.”
