Black Milk’s Latest Collection Looks More Protective Than It Is

Chainmaille looks cool and is very practical if someone is trying to slice you open with a sword. Luckily, that’s not a problem that most people face regularly face, but that leaves chainmaille as a very, very impractical material for daily wear. It’s heavy, makes loud noises when you move, and requires you to don a gambeson underneath to prevent chafing. Nobody likes chafing.

Black Milk, a company best known for making R2D2 one-piece swimsuits, is now offering a line of chainmaille-printed clothing. You can opt for one of two dresses, leggings, a skirt with suspenders, a pair of shorts, or a one-piece swimsuit. All the items are made from the same synthetic, stretch material that the company always uses, and I think it should do a very good job of protecting the wearer from (foam) swords, (Nerf brand) arrows, and (imaginary) halberds. My only problem is that I’m a dude, and none of this would be remotely attractive or acceptable on me.

Internal Organs Swimsuit: The Visible Model

Swimsuits can either enhance or accentuate one’s figure, but in the case of this bathing suit, it can also provide an anatomy lesson. Beauty is only skin deep, though in this case, it goes beyond even the muscle, fat and bone.

Designed by BlackMilk, the Dem Guts swimsuit is sure to turn heads at the swimming pool. Though it’s more likely to attract the attention of Hannibal Lecter than anyone else.

Sadly, the swimsuit is sold out in all but the smallest of sizes, but the good news is that you’re likely to see plenty of these on the beach as a result of its popularity.

Batman Teams up with Black Milk Clothing to Fight Fashion Crime

Black Milk Clothing’s latest geeky collection features the Dark Knight and his enemies. You’ll see Bats, Joker, Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn draped all over a variety of clothing. No Black Mask on Black Milk? I guess he’s not popular enough.

Undoubtedly the star of the collection is the Batman Cape Suit, a swimsuit that comes with a detachable cape.

Black Milk Mass Effect Clothing: The Sexiest Clothes in the Citadel

Black Milk Clothing’s combination of body hugging fit and geeky coating has been a winning formula so far. A lot of people love (being seen) wearing them. Even more people love looking at their product shots. The shop’s officially licensed Mass Effect line is no different.

The leggings, dresses and swimsuits are available in a variety of designs, including the N7 insignia, a drawing of Tali and pages taken from what I assume to be the official Mass Effect comics.

Black Milk’s digital divide

Image

Before we arrive, his manager, Hex Murda, warns us that the producer's setup is "minimal." It's hard to say, precisely what that means in these days of bedroom superstars, but we've done our best to tamp down expectations in the wake of our visit to the sprawling analog forests of John Vanderslice's Tiny Telephone studios. Black Milk moved to Dallas from his native Detroit roughly eight months before, to a relatively quiet street 10 minutes from downtown. In spite of having lived in the space for the better part of a year, the apartment has that just-moved-in feel. There aren't many places to sit, unless you're willing to set up camp on top of one of the stacked boxes of Synth or Soul 12-inches he and his girlfriend are packing up ahead of the upcoming Record Store Day. Not exactly the sort of studio environment one anticipates when visiting one of alternative hip-hop's leading producers / MCs with a resume that includes the likes of Slum Village, Guilty Simpson and Jack White.

"I'm thinking of extending the studio out there," he tells us. At the moment, there's not a lot in the common area, save for a couch and a TV he says he never really watches. It would be ideal for some additional recording equipment and the drum set he left back in Michigan, assuming the neighbors don't mind, that is. For the time being, however, it's ground zero for Black Milk mail order -- buy something through blackmilk.biz, and there's a pretty good chance it'll be boxed up and shipped out by one of the apartment's two residents.

TARDIS Mini Dress and Leggings: Doctor Woo-Hoo!

Look at how tight that TARDIS mini dress is on that girl. I sure hope it’s bigger on the inside so she can breath. I vote that this should be the official companion uniform from this season forward. This sexy dress was released yesterday from Australian clothing company Black Milk.

tardis topIt’s too bad we never got to see Amy Pond wearing this. Then again, the Doctor has enough distractions as it is. The company also had another release that is even sexier. These stretchable leggings give the TARDIS some nice curves.

As you might expect these don’t come cheap. A pair of TARDIS tights will cost you about $79.00(USD) and the Doctor Who dresses are about $100(USD). The look on every male’s face? Priceless.
