Lily DesLys Effeuillage Burlesque Eventails

With her copper curls and ivory skin, hourglass figure and couture heels, Lily DesLys oozes the intriguing eroticism and glamour of Golden Age, and mesmerized audiences on the most prestigious stages of Paris. As a child, this vintage beauty developed a passion for mythology and History, looking for strong, independent and feminine heroines. At the age of 16 she got her first job in a high-end lingerie shop, where she learned secrets of seduction and fetishism. Enthralled by 1900 to 1950's fashion and actresses such as Polaire, Louise Brooks, Marlene Dietrich and Rita Hayworth, she began tightlacing and started collecting vintage gloves, hats and accessories to emulate her icons.

Modelling since 2003, Lily DesLys first showcased her passion for retro fashion, elaborated lingerie and vintage burlesque through the lens, inspired by pin-ups, vamps and muses she is still fond of. In need to share those passions, she created the first french forum dedicated to corsets and vintage fashion. Her world finally came to life on stage in 2008, with various acts, funny or sensual, light or bewitching, but always with her particular flair.

With a degree in Art History and passion for femininity, Lily is fascinated with symbolism, Art Nouveau, and the creatures painted by Cranach the Elder, Rossetti, Klimt or Bruno Schulz. She draws her inspiration from vintage eroticism, cinema, early fetishism, and her own  ideal of a glamour yet naughty strip-tease... and will have you under her spell with her playful yet classy ‘Jeu de séduction’!
Self-created and perfectionist, advocating french elegance, she always raises her standards of sophistication when creating new acts, with lavish costumes reminiscent of a by gone era and a particular attention to music and scenery to take you in her fantasy world.

A bawdy tune in the air, among extravagant feathers or sparkling rhinestones, high heels to her feet and a tight corset to her waist, in her shimmying old-style strip-tease she shows you all the many sides of a woman, being a cliché of a 50's delicate and caring housewife or a Fatale Femme...

Just have a glass of champagne : come and join the foxy Lily in her world of fantasy and refined eroticism...

Lily was pleased to perform her burlesque acts in various events in Luxembourg, switzerland, Germany and France, including Paris :
