Behind The Black Leather LW11 Zip Mask
The LW19 Soft Lip Mask may have been worn by Bowie, featured on T-shirts in the shop Seditonaries and photographed for editorial by David Parkinson. But, it’s the black leather LW11 version of the mask with Zip mouth that really made an impact culturally.
In 1997 a guest to Kate Moss’ Halloween Party in NYC wore the LW11 Zip Mask, a leather collar and leather jeans.
(NEW) The LW11 crafted in black nappa leather and lined with nappa.
Adam Ant wore the LW11 for his 1977 gig at the ICA in London.
If you look closely you can see the LW11 & LW19 Masks lining the ladder in this photograph. The LW19 Silver Leather mask and matching wristband on the shelf too.
It made front page news in 1975.
