ABOUT THIS COLLECTION
A striking love letter to the much overlooked high-fashion of the 1990s. Didi storms the stage in true ‘It Girl’ style; her one of a kind sapphire blue costume will sweep the audience off their feet in a truly unique act of high end show-womanship.
‘Fashion’ is for those that tire of the gentle-showgirl striptease and yearn for something edgier and more dangerous. The heart-stopping choreography will leave you aching to strut the catwalk with her. Slick imagery and ingenious quick reveals immediately evoke the statuesque beauties of the fashion powerhouses of the late 80s and early 90s. As Didi steadily gazes out from under an over-sized Mughler inspired hat, the only thing sharper than her moves, are her cheekbones!
Addicted:
I love performing my fashion act so much that I wanted to create an act with a similar vibe while keeping some more classic elements. Forever inspired by Thierry Mugler, i took influence from his designs to create the main bones of the costume, adding in elements evoked by Christian Dior 2010 couture spring collection by John Galliano. This Act is a fusion of strong masculine and feminine energies creating striking statuesque poses combined with fluid movement and slow seductive strares.
