EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases an original costume design for a showgirl at Alain's Murrays Cabaret Club, located in the heart of London's vibrant Soho district at 16-18 Beak Street. The cabaret club was a renowned establishment in the 1950s and 1960s, known for its risqué and glamorous floor shows that attracted a lively and affluent clientele. The design, created by an unidentified but undoubtedly talented dressmaker, is an elaborate and stylish creation for one of the club's seductive showgirls. The costume is both revealing and sophisticated, with a scantily clad bodice adorned with intricate beading and sequins, and a voluminous, swirling skirt that adds a sense of drama and movement to the performance. The design also features a feather headdress, adding an air of exotic allure and glamour. The sketches and notes on the reverse of the print suggest that the costume was intended to be a standout piece in the cabaret's floorshow, with the performer intended to be a seductive and alluring hostess. The risqué nature of the costume was sure to turn heads and add to the overall atmosphere of excitement and indulgence that defined Alain's Murrays Cabaret Club. The costume design is a testament to the creativity and artistry of the dressmakers and performers who brought the cabaret to life, and serves as a reminder of the glamour and allure of London's nightlife in the mid-twentieth century.
