According to you is the question of the age important ? Madonna is more criticized than Katy because of her age and because she wears latex, why is it shocking ?

Everyone has got a right to express themselves as long as you don't hurt anyone. Everyone is unique and special. Madonna is a world famous pop diva so do you expect her to be dresses in woolly jumper with slippers?(That would be also fine if that's what she wants to wear ). I believe super star should be always unexpected, You don't know what she will do next? That's a true super star for me. We have dressed Grace Jones she is over 60 and she is super cool too.
What did you know about Madonna’s career before your collaboration ?
She is a strong female icon who made lots of culture changes.

What she did for females is massive. She pushed the boundary and changed the way of woman rights.

It will be Super Feminine, Glam and Sexy !

We are so lucky to be able to work with many fabulous people. Every work was very special, taught us a lot & lead us through here. Yes, one day I hope to be able to dress the Queen. Until then, Life is a lesson. try to be better.
Can you give us a piece of advice if we want to wear latex ?
You have to use talcum powder or lube to put on items, & you will polish the garment after you wore to make it very shiny. It's very ritualistic. Latex is very new to many people so how to handle it is not well known so read the instruction before you start wearing it. If you do it properly it will be fabulous
