EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases an original costume design for a performer at Murrays Cabaret Club, located in the heart of London's Soho district at 16-18 Beak Street. The image features the exquisite Laurels Fan Dress, an elaborate and revealing creation that was a staple in the glamorous world of clubland entertainment during the mid-20th century. The Laurels Fan Dress is a stunning example of the risqué and alluring costumes that were synonymous with the cabaret scene. The dress is adorned with lush green laurel leaves, meticulously crafted from satin and sequins, creating an illusion of foliage that cascades down the performer's body. The dress is held together by a delicate, yet strong, gold belt that cinches the waist, accentuating the hourglass figure. The piece de resistance of this costume design is the oversized fan, which is not only a functional prop but also an integral part of the ensemble. The fan, adorned with the same green laurel leaves as the dress, adds an extra layer of glamour and allure to the performer. The fan also serves as a modesty cover, adding an element of surprise and intrigue to the revealing costume. The Laurels Fan Dress was a favorite among the hostesses and showgirls of Murrays Cabaret Club, who captivated audiences with their elaborate and stylish costumes. The floorshow performances were a nightly spectacle, filled with music, dance, and revelry, and the elaborate costumes were a key part of the experience. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of the cabaret scene and the iconic costumes that defined it.
