Miss Burlesque Australia 2018

With the return of Miss Burlesque Australia and applications are now open, it is that time when burly performers are thinking of both their acts and those fantastical costumes. @arnavazlindsaycouture is now taking orders, but best to get in quick as spaces are limited and MBA is not that far off!

For further MBA application information please visit www.missburlesqueaustralia.com

Way back in 2015 one of my first burlesque creations was worn by the spectacular beauty herself, @magnoliaknife , who ranked 2nd Runner Up in the Finals of Miss Burlesque Australia 2015. This gorgeous creature has given me so much support as both a friend and as a creative collaborator. It was an absolute honour to have her represent my design work and I look forward to many more collaborations with her. 

Showgirl Road Trip

Flash back to that time I travelled to Bundaberg with some pretty spectacular showgirls. The fabulous Lady le Feu (centre) is wearing a pink creation by Moi! I am also wearing a black PVC costume designed and made by myself. This year has been absolutely incredible and I am only looking forward to what 2018 has to offer!!

France and Italy 2016

Last Friday, I returned from a very inspiring trip to France and Italy. So many beautiful haberdashery and fabric stores!! You could go crazy!! These places feed your creative, everything you see or touch is some form of beauty. Everything is harmonious.

The MBA is coming around again soon, and I get to design once again for the beautiful Miss Magnolia Knife, this time two costumes! All this creative inspiration from Europe, I am going to channel into her creations. xxx 

A fantastic little fabric/haberdashery place to visit when in Venice.

Miss Burlesque Australia

I had the most amazing opportunity to dress one of Australia's stunning burlesque beauties on Saturday night 8th August 2015. Magnolia Knife (second from the left), was competing in Miss Burlesque Queensland/Miss Burlesque Australia and came in as 2nd Runner Up!!! Congratulations beautiful!!! Magnolia came to me several months ago and asked me to design and construct her a bespoke gown that she could wear in the gown parade for this years Miss Burlesque QLD. It has been such an honour working with such an individual and talented performer xxx
