For a while now, we’ve been thinking that Manchester needed a new regular club night, that in a way transcends genres and allows for dressing up, dancing, enjoying performance and fashion, all under the same roof.

The return of Torture garden and the work that I have been doing with TG Manchester promoter Frankie knuckles had indicated this is the right time to launch this type of event so we are excited to present Regress, a night where you can explore your alter ego and dress for the way you feel.

Fantasy/Fetish dress code promoted but not enforced

Friday 20th December 9pm till late at Alter Ego

Advance tickets £5, or £8 on the door

Tickets available from
Club Alterego, 105-107 Princess Street Manchester or
Frankie Knuckles Boutique, Afflecks, second floor, 52 Church Street

This months schedule includes:

Latex fashion show by Eustratia
DJ Set by TG Manchester DJ, Jane Dalton
Act by well-known London performance artist

We hope that through having a monthly event, we can establish a network within the people of Manchester to fuel creativity and more diversely interesting night-life as well as paving the path to making TG Manchester regular.

I’m already planning something special for the fashion show and I hope to see lots of you there.

The time has come to launch the much awaited, Eustratia lingerie range (which I have been working on for a few months now and I’m really pleased with) and I’m excited to be launching it at the event that I’m co-hosting with my stockist at TG Manchester promoter Frankie Knuckles.

The event is called The Manopsychotisches Ballroom and will feature art, performance, fashion and fetish elements, hopefully attracting a diverse and interesting (but not seedy) crowd.

The picture of my on the flyer is by a lovely set with SJImage which I can hopefully share with you soon.

Manopsychotisches Ballroom
Manchester
Sat 25th May
9pm-2am
2022NQ
20/22Dale Street, Manchester M1 1EZ (Nearest Station: Manchester Picadilly)

The new lingerie range has a vintage twist while still retaining key Eustratia features and contemporary details. The styling I have chosen will contrast will the arty and industrial feel of the venue so we wanted to tie these elements together through the show. We have planned a guerrilla inspired, art-installation style fashion show where men will build and then dismantle part of a wall to reveal the models and then roll out turf for them to walk into the crowd on.

Here’s a sneaky peek of the lingerie range line-up just to give you a vague idea but I’m not releasing the full color-scheme.

The range won’t be added to the online store till it has been professionally photographed but I will be taking orders at the launch.

The first Eustratia fashion show of the year took place at the Club Lash relaunch at its new venue, Alter Ego.

Club Lash is Manchester’s longest running fetish club and also the first fetish club I visited, shortly after I turned 18. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed and the club caters for players and clubbers alike, especially with the larger dance floor the new venue offers. My favourite new addition were the silky kimonos made available to smokers while they stand outside, I think this practice should be adopted by all clubs that encourage skimpy or unusual dress.

Though I like the venue on the whole, the stage is quite small and there is no dressing room so I had to make some change to my usual repertoire. Some male friends helped us close off the toilets for a few minutes so the models could get dresses and I made the show quite simple, with emphasis on the models and outfits.

Unfortunately we weren’t able to get a video but the official club photographer took some snaps for us.

To celebrate Valentine’s day I’m also planning a giveaway! Keep your eyes pealed, it will be announced soon!

This year I had the pleasure of being invited to show my collection at LFW. I only found out that I got through a week or so before the event so I decided to do the Avalonia show, featuring the Opulence and Chimera collections, just in a slightly different format that at the Alternative and burlesque fair.

Unfortunately we didn’t have the opportunity to dress the stage this time, and with the limited rehearsal time is was lucky that I re-wrote the choreography to go with a different shaped stage on the journey down.

The dressing room was crowded with models and collections but the other teams were helpful and we found space to put our stuff and even electricity to do some simple hair. Kudos to my amazing MUAs, Laura Wilson and Tabitha Adams, for managing to do make up in the abysmal lighting conditions!

I was pleased with the show in general and received a lot of positive feedback.
