It was the custom-made white latex Gladiator Kilt from Syren, the worldÂ’s leading latex fashion house, that enabled Baron Cohen to make what might be considered the most outrageous fashion statement ever witnessed by millions of viewers live around the globe.
The latex white latex GladiatorÂ’s Kilt, which laced up the sides, was custom designed especially for Sacha Baron CohenÂ’s grand entrance and was worn over a cheek-revealing thong.
Baron Cohen was promoting his upcoming movie Bruno, in which he plays a gay Austrian fashionista. Some observers on the scene believe that he was specifically aiming for Eminem, who supposedly left “in a heated rage” according to MTV.
“I am extremely happy with the impression our Gladiator Kilt made,” said Jeffrey Gent head designer for Syren. “The entrance and landing were pure genius! Humor is one of the best ways of confronting homophobia!” he noted. When asked if Eminem was in on the prank, Gent replied, “I don’t know, but I would be surprised if Eminem would agree to have a man’s naked buttocks thrust in his face!”
For over 15 years Syren has supplied latex designs to the entertainment industry and private customers who shop for the latest styles at its retail store on Sunset Boulevard. The handcrafted, high-quality Syren creations are popular because of their second skin appeal, which flatters the figure and allows ease of movement without sacrificing aesthetics.
Syren has a colorful history of creating costumes for such movies as Batman Returns, The Matrix, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Men in Black and most recently for the Silk Spectre II character played by Malin Akerman in The Watchmen. Syren’s costume for Michelle Pfeiffer’s role in “Catwoman” was recently on display at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. When asked which of the costumes was her favorite on The Today Show, famed Vogue editor Anna Wintour said: “Catwoman every time, absolutely.”
