Peekaboo Peep-Show Burlesque Performance - Boudoir Fashion & Risqué Lingerie Launch at Max Black.

Last Thursday evening, Max Black treated a select few to an evening of lingerie and boudoir fashion intimates. All along with performances by Australian Burlesque sweethearts Bella Louche, Frankie Faux and Memphis Mae. These beauties of the stage also modelled, paraded and posed wearing European intimate fashion labels; Something Wicked, Très Bonjour,  Fleur of England, Maison Close - Paris  and Lascivious. This was my first time at Max Black which is an 18+ 'restricted premise' and no doubt, just like you, I was wondering what I would find inside when I arrived.. What I found after receiving my tickets for the lucky door prize was a large and spacious well appointed store, friendly staff, a small bar from where the sparkling wine flowed and rack after rack of divine lingerie! I have been dining downstairs at Happy Chef Newtown for the last 20 years but it would seem I should have been heading upstairs for the last seven to check out what must be Sydney's best kept lingerie secret!

The show kicked of with a Memphis Mae classic golden-gown burlesque on the 'main' dance podium quickly followed by the arrival of two of our beauties Frankie Faux & Bella Louche wearing retro styled, laser cut, couture latex by Berlin's Très Bonjour from head to toe. After posing together on the main podium one of the ladies moved over to the mesh shrouded podium with several peep holes cut out. This would be the running style for the night and I loved this second podium's homage to the old skool restricted premises peep-show and decided there-and-then that my pictures should all go along with that entertaining piece of voyeuristic genius! Mouse over pictures for details.

Street Fashion Sydney - shot with the Fujifilm X-Pro1 

And for some reason, although the runway was pulsating to Madonna; I came away thinking of the hit track from Soft Cells Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret; Tainted love -  but while searching came across what I think is vastly superior version from this fellow below - Enjoy!

Sydney Lingerie & Swimwear Launch, Freya, Fantasie, elomi, FAUVE - Up to JJ & K Cup Sizing

You might as well call this blog the 'Cityrail-blog' for the next week or so as all posts are behind-schedule and very definitely, out-of-timetable-order. Oh the hardship of the commuters life in Sydney!

But what the on earth could have possessed me to leave this fab Freya, FANTASIE, elomi, FAUVE lingerie & swimwear post on the back-burner for the past 2 to 3 weeks? Well I have been busy (yawn) and I have had a devilishly slow computer. Or is that a dervish-ly possessed computer that has had me spinning round-and-round - never mind I have come to my senses and here is what Kat & I saw at that Freya FAUVE FANTASIE and elomi launch which also spun us both round and round and round...
























Fortunately I had the company of Miss Katerina Roth again & as always bow to her superior knowledge of all things under the outerwear. Both our opinions on the quality and style of what we saw was reinforced while chatting with Janine from Eveden Group after the show and it went a little like this; Quality, Fit, Quality, Fit; and of course beautiful and fabulous styles! And all this in real womens sizes; for, you know, real women! Apparently they did have some trouble finding the right /real sized models for the parade; but as you can see they triumphed in the end.

Thanks Eveden & Symbol PR for having Street Fashion Sydney again at a simply fabulous Sydney launch. And girls, ladies, women; click those links at the top of the page to visit the lingerie brand websites to see all the styles sizing and fitting information.

huit8 Lingerie Launch at The Winery on Crown...

Mrs Wang, China Girl; Opium & Love in Shanghai!!! All served with songs from Chanteuse Caroline Nin, glasses of Moet, Quiche Loraine & Rocket Salad... And some simply stunning Women walking by us with nothing on-only thier underwear. Well Surry Hills does have something of a reputation for these kind of goings-on but this was something new for me!

Paris lingerie label huit8 have officially launched in Australia. One of the first things to really strike me about this range from huit8 was its femininity without going all girly ribbons and bows bringing a French sensuality and sophistication. Emerging designers please take note; "Less is More", it's all about the quality and design, the fabrics and the Vision. Tradition blended with inspiration.

And of course I think, there is something for the man in a womans life here too if you follow my thinking; as well as the kind of 'day wear' lingerie that is feminine and comfortable. Or so my female companion informed me..

Now on with the show!
