We are delighted to invite you to pay a visit to one of our retailers in Ringwood, Hampshire, in the UK. Paul and Lyndsey have expanded their range of Patrice's collections and will be delighted to see you if you can call by. They have lots of individual pieces as well as some of the regular ranges.
Ringwood is a lovely sleepy little town with a broad main street offering lots to see and do. You can find Jennifers Boutique at the far end of the main street tucked around the corner before you reach the pub by the river.
If you mention this newsletter you will get a warm welcome and a guided tour of the shop.
Tina Winters established herself in 2008 and initially offered luxurious lingerie, clothing and accessories as a party plan format. This was such a success that Tina launched herself into the internet at www.tinawinters.com in 2010, where a trend for sexy, classy and unique fetishwear quickly emerged. Tina, who still hosts parties in the comfort of clients' homes where they can get together with friends, enjoy a glass of bubbly and have the latest fashions on show, saw this demand follow through to the parties and our own Patrice Catanzaro fashions are among the most popular garments.
April 2011 saw Tina Winters appear at the BBB show in Birmingham, one of the largest and most popular monthly fetish markets. Tina says "We were so excited about the Patrice Catanzaro range that we couldn't wait to unleash it on the Birmingham Fetish scene. The response we received was truly fantastic so we'll definitely be a monthly regular throughout 2011. There's also a fashion show planned in the Midlands for later this year so be sure to watch this space".
Welcome Tina to our family and our world!
If you love dressing up in your fetish finery and spending the evening in the company of similarly dressed fellow fetishists then Club Rub is the place for you! Once a month they meet for a specially themed evening where you can enjoy the fancy dress parade, partake of a little alcohol, dance the night away and, if you are lucky, you can win a prize or two for your own beautiful outfit. Kim and her friends will warmly welcome you and make sure you are having the time of your life. Trust me, she is one of the best hostesses in London. Even if you have attended before, you MUST go to the brand new venue for 2011 at the fabulous Basing House, 24-25 Kingsland Road in the very popular Shoreditch area of London.
Start your engines......... for 2011 Libertinesque will be the sponsors for the ultra sexy, fire breathing, rock and roll, dance and stunt group,The Fuel Girls. The Girls perform all over the world at motor shows, FMX rallies, rock festivals and really WILD parties. They love performing in Patrice's clothes especially the new Clémentine range for their aerial stunts when they perform their wild routines high above the stage. Their new stage show "Fire and Air" will be touring the UK and the USA next year and Libertinesque will be joining the Girls on tour. How exciting will that be!!
Nice'n'Naughty, the chain of 15 sexy boutiques based mainly around the north west of the country is now stocking the collections from Patrice Catanzaro in some of their outlets. The shops in Chester and Leeds will be carrying the Second Face range of guys clothes, quickly followed by the girl's collections in the next few weeks. We are thrilled to welcome them on board as the newest members of the fold.
Welcome to Charlie!!!
A big welcome to Charlie, the newest addition to the Libertinesque team. She comes to join us from a retail and publishing background based in Peterborough and has made the move down to London with us. She is our main point of contact for Twitter, Facebook and MySpace as well as taking her place in the shop when we open.
Some of you will have already met her when she was modelling the collections at the ETO show and at various funky fashion shows earlier in the year (see her in the blue and white CoCo below)
Welcome to our crazy, busy world Charlie!
A wonderful busy time was had by all at the recent ETO Trade Show at the NEC in Birmingham. Although this was our first visit to the show and many people questioned us as to why we wanted to be there, as it is normally known as a 'toy show', our confidence in the collections of Patrice was supported by the fabulous two days we had. From the moment the doors opened we had a constant stream of eager and interested retailers. We imagined that the large boxes of catalogues we took with us would more than last us for the duration of the show, in fact by lunchtime on the first morning we had run out! The attendance of Patrice and his lovely wife Aude made the event even more special for us and they were delighted with the interest, quality of the stand, the two delightful models who put a great deal of effort and enthusiasm into continually changing their outfits throughout. To take our first orders and sign up retailers at the show was a great experience for us and the resulting continued interest has been encouraging.
Tim Woodward from Skin Two has put another article about Libertinesque on his website regarding the amazing things happening in our world of 'seriously sexy to faintly fetish' fashion. Click on the banner below to read all about it..
We are thrilled to add to our News page that Karen Estabrook has done a new video with some of the girls from Saut de Basque. Listen carefully because the song "Spread Your Wings" was written and performed by Karen herself. As well as being featured on TV during early May 2010 there is another TV documentary planned which will feature Karen and her fetish dance theatre performing at the famous Pineapple Studios in London, not to mention the Funky Fashion Shows for Libertinesque!!
You must have a look at the Libertinesque ad in the Directory of the really sharp Scarlet Magazine - it is a really great collection of sexy and fun stuff for girls in the UK. We love it because it is a bit more edgy than the usual mags and the articles are hot, hot hot!!.
How good is your French? Have a look at Patrice's brand new blog which gives all the news and view from the fetish fashion world and give great insight into the photographers, film makers, new collections and a host of other gossip emanating from Europe. It also includes a link to the BRAND NEW Libertinesque Blog which was only born on the 13th April......watch out for full details in our next news letter.
Look what I found on The Fetishistas.com website - lots of info about the fabulous Club Rub and lots and lots of photos of our fashion show! Club Rub moved to their new venue The Lightbox in Vauxhall, London earlier this year and I must say it is a seriously good venue for all things fetish. Read more about the venue and about our funky fashion show, which seems to have gone down a storm every time we perform.
Tim Woodward from Skin Two interviewed Kim from Club Rub about the new funky fashion shows performed by Libertinesque and Saut de Basque and what goes on at her club and this is what she said:
The February edition of the Erotic Trade Only magazine for the Adult Industry wrote a great editorial about our story. It mentions how we came to be Libertinesque and where we are planning to take the brand over the coming months. We will be taking a stand at the only Adult Trade Exhibition in the UK which takes place at the NEC, Birmingham on 4th and 5th July 2010. Our stand number is 32 (not far from the bar) so come and see us and learn some more....
On the 28th January we were delighted to read an article mentioning us on the Italian fetish site Cooletto - a really cool site (which is easy to translate into English) with lots to say about the fetish and bdsm scene in central Europe.
Tim Woodward from legendary Skin Two honoured us with an article on his site. Despite the normal fetish trends being latex and leather, the new breathable fabrics from Patrice Catanzaro are the perfect solution to latex aversion or allergy. So have a look for yourself.
