AVANTGARDISTA PREVIEW: SEPTEMBER COVER

Ah yes, the models — or as they’re known at Avantgardista, the Fashionistas.

At time of writing, Avantgardista and its participating designers have secured the services of more than 80 models, including some big fetish names such as Dutch Dame, Honeyhair and Onna Sakura.

And it is inevitable that some of the recruits to this new model army would normally, in other circumstances, have been seen at Dominatrix (which has, after all, a deserved reputation nowadays as a ‘model fest’).

But it is also the case that the Munich event will feature local talent that doesn’t ‘do’ the international circuit, along with others drawn from the fashion world who don’t normally model fetish at all.

The simple truth of it, one suspects, is that Avantgardista’s target audience of ‘ordinary people interested in extraordinary fashion’ will not be expecting latex to be presented exclusively on cohorts of busty fetish girls.

And so to the party. SubRosaDictum’s Space Intruders after-show bash will start at 10pm on Saturday night at Kesselhaus (Lilienthalalee 35), a larger building behind the Kohlebunker in the same venue complex.

So there will be a two-hour overlap with the Showroom, which stays open until midnight. And Space Intruders will finish somewhere between five and six in the morning.

People who want to attend both events but don’t want to wear their fetish outfit for the earlier part of the day can bring it with them and use the party venue’s changing facilities, or of course return to their rooms or homes to change.

(There is, incidentally, an event hotel recommended for those attending Avantgardista from out of town. It’s the Leonardo Royal Hotel at Moosacher Strasse 90, which is reasonably close to the venues.)

Space Intruders enforces the standard SubRosaDictum fetish party dresscode, which provides many options beyond latex (including fancy dress and formal evening wear) and can be found on the Space Intruders page of the SubRosaDictum website.

Space Intruders is always the last SubRosaDictum party of the year, and the hosts always aim to hold it in November. So, Carina explains, it made sense to link it with Avantgardista.

Generally sell-out affairs, and considered by many to be Munich’s best fetish parties, Space Intruders nights always include some surprise stage appearances by fetish celebs.

Attractions will include a bondage stage (which this year is rumoured to be featuring a performance by Dutch Dame in her new rigging role) and a midnight laser show. “There is always something spectacular,” Carina promises.

For more insight into Space Intruders, check out the video at the end of this article, which includes not just great visuals but also lots of interviews from last year’s event (in English, with subtitles where needed).

Plans for Sunday November 12’s concluding event of the Avantgardista weekend are still fluid at time of writing.

All that can be safely said at this point is that it will be some kind of chill-out/farewell gathering based around breakfast, brunch and/or drinks, and might kick off at 10am or later, finishing mid-to-late afternoon.

But let’s face it, a Sunday brunch in Munich isn’t the reason any of us will be choosing to check out the debut of this new German weekend.

So Rosa von Dictum and his SubRosaDictum team can surely afford to be relaxed about the precise nature of this last event in the Avantgardista programme until a little nearer the date!
