Meet Jesamie,
A trained and celebrated latex fashion designer and artist from the United States. Winner of the Easton Fashion Award for his collection featuring garments that were made to be buried with the human body in a natural burial, Jesamie graduated from fashion design school as Valedictorian in 2021 from Columbus College of Art & Design. Here he learned 3D fashion design, pattern cutting, computer aided design, draping and tailoring. He began his career designing denim for a large fashion company in Ohio.
Jesamie found solace and an escape from the anti-trans movement in his home country to euphoria through latex. A regular in the small but mighty Columbus goth and fetish scenes, Jesamie debuted his first latex collection on the Highball Halloween runway. Soon thereafter, he was a recipient of the Greater Columbus Arts Council grant which allowed him to study the creation of latex clothes at Central Saint Martins in London.
After this study, Jesamie made the decision to relocate to Berlin, Germany where he could escape the anti-trans movement in the United States and further his career and passion for latex. While tailoring for a menswear fetish brand and pattern cutting for a small brand in Berlin, he meticulously built his own line of latex by Jesamie.
Jesamie conjures wearable rituals: bespoke and made-to-measure latex garments that blur the line between beauty and the grotesque, where shame is shed, and the monster becomes muse. Pushing beyond traditional fetish wear, each piece is crafted in a divine ceremony of rubber.
