- Am Statik prime example of fresh approach young fashion/design graduates are now taking with latex
- Très Bonjour : a continued eye for intricate details, use of color and overall wonderful designs. Haute couture!

- Inner Sanctum relaunch – great promise from fresh designs and the energy of its new German owners
- Feterati Girls : combining dancing and latex, it’s been done in the mainstream music scene. So why not some of our “own” girls?

Special Award 2011
- Kim West for pioneering chlorination of latex clothes

- Marquis for presenting its unique take on fetish for 50 issues and more. 50 issues of glossy, sexy latex by Peter Czernich. Happy anniversary!
- FetLife for creating and sustaining one of the best social networks for the fetish community, especially now that Facebook and other community sites are blocking more and more fetish content (for no good reason!) it’s good to be able to fall back on Fetlife. It’s not just about the glam and famous, but also for the true fetishist.
