The Speakers:

Ivo Mittelmeijer – UNTITLED RUBBER

Ivo is a Dutch designer who founded a minimalist rubber fashion brand that blends bold aesthetics with authentic self-expression. Drawing on his background in menswear, he creates innovative pieces that challenge boundaries in both fashion and fetish culture.

Leanne Jane – Latex Peach

Latex Peach combines intricate lace patterns designed in natural rubber sheeting, creating the style “maximalist latex”. Inspired by nature and space, collections include geometric Honeycomb mesh, romantic victorian Nightshade lace and the new full body catsuit with a biosynthetic design, “The Hyasynth”. This lasercut effect makes wearing latex a little easier by reducing excessive sweating and providing a much higher stretch rate. All designs are lasercut and glued in-house, in a small home studio just outside of Amsterdam. You can shop online, and also in stores in London and Berlin.

Dante Woods – Kinky Masterclasses

The Kinky Masterclasses Amsterdam is an inclusive educational project founded in 2023 and curated by Dante Woods, former Mr. Rubber Netherlands 2023. The series embraces a welcoming, safe space for curious and likeminded fetishists who seek to explore, learn, grow, and deepen their understanding of both kink and community.

With a strong commitment to both sexual and social education, the Masterclasses did already cover a wide range of topics – from bondage, fisting, and impact play, to deeper conversations about mental health, women’s perspective, loneliness, and diverse political viewpoints. Each session is led by experienced educators and voices from across our diverse global community, encouraging open dialogue and mutual learning.

Throughout and beyond his title year, Dante’s aim is to center conversations around consent and mental health both within and beyond the fetish community.
