Sam Smith's controversial Brit Awards suit made headlines earlier this month after they wore an inflatable latex outfit designed by Kerala-born menswear designer Harri. Now, local manufacturers, Four D, which supplied the latex for the masterpiece has spoken out on the much-discussed garment.
Based in Heanor, over the Derbyshire border, staff at Four D, the 45-year-old fashion arm of the latex company known as Supatex, said they are very pleased to see their work on show to the world and that “everyone is entitled to their opinion” about the controversial design.
Stars often make a statement with their outfits on the red carpet at the high profile event but popstar Sam Smith's head-turning 'balloon-style suit appeared to just be too much for some this year. The "Unholy" singer prompted comedian Ricky Gervais to photo shop his own head onto Sam's body for a picture, which he posted on Twitter, and, according to the Mirror, savagely joked the singer was seeking attention when they walked the red carpet. It seems, that Four D, didn't share the opinion.
