EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases an original costume design for a performer at Murrays Cabaret Club, located in the heart of Soho, London at 16-18 Beak Street. The Laurels Fan design is a testament to the extravagant and elaborate style that defined the cabaret scene during the golden age of Clubland. The performer is depicted holding a large, ornate fan adorned with lush green laurel leaves, adding an air of sophistication and glamour to her risqué outfit. The revealing costume, with its daring cut and scantily clad silhouette, was designed to leave a lasting impression on audiences. The intricate details of the design are evident in the intricate sketches, which reveal the meticulous planning and skillful dressmaking that went into creating each costume. The use of sequins, feathers, and beading adds to the allure and seductiveness of the performer, while the high heels and fishnet stockings complete the seductive and provocative look. The Laurels Fan design was just one of many elaborate and revealing costumes that graced the floorshow at Murrays Cabaret Club. The performers, with their sexy and provocative outfits, were a major draw for audiences seeking a night of entertainment that was both daring and glamorous. This image offers a glimpse into the world of Soho's cabaret scene, where hostesses and performers pushed the boundaries of what was considered acceptable, and where the line between seduction and showmanship was blurred. The Laurels Fan design remains an enduring symbol of the seductive and alluring nature of the cabaret scene during this era.
