London Fashion Week Enters The Burlesque Boudoir

London Fashion Week at the exclusive Metropolitan Hotel went off without a stitch as Kittie Klaw and the very cream of burlesque received visitors to the Burlesque Boudoir themed VIP and Press room.

Guests were treated to gifts, magic tricks and rides on Lord Dashwood’s ‘Victorian Virtual Reality Rocking Chair’ while others enjoyed lessons and chat from burlesque sirens including Miss Vicky Butterfly, FiFi Darling, Miss Pearlie Gates, Dolores Delight and 2007 MoB Award champion, Red Sarah (who was most aptly dressed for the season as the Queen of Hearts).

On display in the Burlesque Boudoir was the latest collection from vintage lingerie specialists What Katie Did complete with a customised collection of Ruby Rouge accessories and jewellery form Fiona Deffenbaugh of The Black Pearl Boutique.

What Katie Did’s exquisite new Striptease lingerie range and ultra cinching corsets were the buzz of the performers and press alike. The antics of this lavish cupcake and champagne fuelled week continued with photo-shoots from Tas Kyprianou and Tony Rusecki ensuring that yet more compilations of exquisite imagery are set to hit our gallery pages soon.

On the Tuesday, excitement mounted as the MoBstars prepared to be the main attraction of the infamous Pink Drinks Party that evening. The Pink Drinks Party is a special event thrown by the Metropolitan to celebrate the designers in style.

Dressed in beautiful What Katie Did lingerie, adorned with the outrageously theatrical wigs from Yuki Saito and tip-toeing across the lobby in Terry De Havilland stilettos, the troupe proved an instant hit with the top fashionistas in London. Celebrity photographer Finlay Mackay also dropped by to exclusively photograph Kittie and the MoB in action and we were also captured on film for CNN. , interviewed by journalists, designers and fashionistas alike, we have been reliably informed that the Ministry of Burlesque are still the hottest topic on everyone’s fashionable pout.
