The Emperor got around in his birthday suit when two sneaky weavers promised him the finest suit of clothes from a fabric invisible to anyone who was an incompetent ninny. Ninny he was – not because he couldn’t see the fabric, but because he trusted a pair of mimes. Mimes are creepy, everyone knows that.
This Birthday Suit collection is the opposite of invisible. Where some collections have one story behind them and others have none, the Winter 2010 offering from transgressive drag all-femme improv group The Kingpins has about five different narratives underpinning its hitched full petticoats, butterfly ikat prints and trademark catsuits. It’s wild west crossed with ancient tribal and a touch of S&M.
Hitting the racks this week, get your hands on the Smokin’ silk tee (pictured) or the teal corduroy jumpsuit and you’ll guarantee your crown jewels are well and truly covered with the most outlandishly stylish of threads. You’re no ninny in the nuddy.
