Dark Fusion Boutique: dressing a tribal Goddess

Dark Fusion Boutique is a shop that features clothing and accessories designed by Lucretia*Renee of Serpentine- Theatrical Fire Fusion Bellydance located in Portland, Oregon.Her design style was initially inspired by her many years of performing in theatrical firedance and bellydance productions.  Really striking and eye-catch,  mosly in black, red, and cream colour, and several items matching each other so you can pick several combinations that will work perfectly for your bellydance  or stage outfit. Her clothing design style has become an elegant yet edgy fusion of fetish, tribal bellydance, goth, burlesque, circus, vaudeville, and steampunk. What makes her clothing unique is her form-fitting and sexy placement of seams, layered fabrics and textures, and her feminine twist on the fetish aesthetic inspired by the art of  dance and the Goddess. It has also a collection of lovely gloves and other accessories. You can visit their official site pointed above or go directly to Dark Fusion Boutique etsy store to look for in stock items.

It has also some formal and wedding models for more (or less) traditional customers..  It has alsom some additional accesories like gloves fitting for example with the laced up steampunk inspired top hats. The gothic models are full of spiderweb and tulle  with a very classy “widow” mood.  And there are also some striped model that you would point out of My fair Lady movie.

Plume designs is the clothing company run by, performer and artist (also proud to say my friend) Lycee la Plume. From innocent to spicy It can goes from cute dolls, bellydance, vintage circus to decadent Marie Antoinettes (remember we made an special about Marie Antoinette before in your fantasy costume).

You may think some items are expensive, but I’ve seen this lady working and rendering awesome art pieces, hand sewed and of extreme quality. Each piece shows the great amount of love a non massively produced design requires.

This is one of her more popular items… isn’t it cute? Remember our Queen of the Hearts special Valentine article… This is a must add item :) . They’re fit and really highlight your silhouette. It’s perfect for a semi-urban approach and you can add some pretty bloomers along with it . We´re sick of jeans and sweaters all the time!

You can also see some “one of a kind items” or contact her if you have any other specifications. This is an example of “one of a kind” gown made by Lycee for a movie…Impressive is not the right adjective, it goes beyond that. Look at that ruff, isn’t it gorgeous? It makes me wish to become rich to make a commission… can you imagine a custom made gown fro Lycee for a video… cute!!. Visit Plume designs

Pendragon shoes is one of the most amazing and strange shoe  exclusive handcrafted leather shoes. This company is a Queensland based duo of designer shoemakers Jacqueline Orme Ward and Adrian Lockwood that have worked for several projects in theater and cinema including the recent and successful film “Peter Pan” by Warner Bros (that by the way is a wonderful version with a pretty soundtrack from James Newton Howard to go along with)

You can also watch some haute couture and exclusive models with outstanding designs that you’ll be yearning for… (sigh!). From some really… excentric and unconvetional models to  burlesque boots and Marie Antoniette, Jester, or the wonderful and feeric models for Titania and Oberon.
