In Germany, I trust wonderful HEDOLUXE or Sammy from REDCAT/ with my burlesque costumes and burlesque fashion designs. Both of them are unique in their art and have an eye for the details. Because this is what it’s all about – without a special focus for the detail, no burlesque costume would work. Of course, cheap costume producers follow this trend, but will never meet the quality standards of this lovely, handmade, and mostly costume-fitted corsets.
Canada, too, has some of these great labels. Today, I would like to introduce to you Manuge et Toi, who by today has equipped some of the most renowned burlesques icons of the world with her great unique pieces. Since 2008, Christina Manuge designs and produces costumes, handmade corsets, seducing underwear and of course her unforgettable wedding wear, for the most special moment in your life. Her sparkling “babies” saw some of the most amazing stages of the world and know no limits in their glitter variety and comfort. Roxy Dlite (Miss Exotic World 2010), Kalani Kokonuts (Miss Exotic World 2009), Coco Framboise, Scarlett James, Miss DD Starr, Ava Noir, Canadian Burlesque Hall of Fame performers Tanya Cheex and Mitzy Cream are proud owners of her burlesque fashion.

For her great costumes, she was awarded 3rd of 21st Century Burlesque Magazin’s Top 50 two years in a row. Fun and passion for the product are what truly makes a captivating piece of couture. The last ingredient for the key of success is uniqueness. In my life, I have seen a lot of costumes on and off stage, but the clothes Manuge et Toi puts on those curvy bodies are extraordinary. There is nothing more beautiful than a perfectly matched set made of glitter and glamour and consisting of a corset, a garter, panties, a bra and of course, some pasties. Manuge et Toi puts a special eye on every detail. Those of you who happen to perform on a stage in Toronto should contact Christina, everybody else should definitely visit her Onlineshop, where you can find some amazing pieces of hers. Those who wish shop via ETSY will, too, have their wish fulfilled.
