Being in Munich,
Germany at the moment, (and knowing MOLI has just launched in Germany)
I was hoping to find some new hot frau wear, like the old timey brau
haus frauen (beer hall gals) wore - like on the St. Pauli Girl bottle of beer. I found it in the company called Angermaier.
Not sure what the word means, but the clothes are fierce. Embroidered
wench corsets over white and black tops, knee-high lace up boots, in
black and red (zipper on the side for quick on and off). Sexy
lederhosen for men and women. Your basic ‘traditional’ German wears
with a modern fetish twist.
The lederhosen
I speak of are generally worn by kinder AKA babies and children and
also formerly by Bavarian men - and are usually a sort of brown
leather shorts with attached suspenders further accoutrements are
stylized embroidery. I have been keeping my eye out for adult
lederhosen for years and the only ones I have seen have been for
kinder. The Angermaier Company has them in black as well as brown in
different lengths and even full-length trousers for men. Along with the
lederhosen for men are traditional men’s vests and blazers for men and
women. Not my stein of tea, but there they are and someone must be
wearing them.
Some of the dresses look like they came right off
of Snow White, Sleeping Beauty or Cinderella – before or after she
passed out in a barn, castle or brew hall, or ate a bad apple. (The Neuschwanstein Castle
in Salzburg that Walt Disney based the Sleeping Beauty castle on is not
far away from Munich - only two hours). Maybe this is actually the real
Never-Never Land?
There is a gothic looking silver-grey corset
with a modest (for this collection) long skirt. The ‘sexiest’ outfit is
a beautiful emerald green embroidered wench dress with a see-through
lace baby doll top underneath and a sheer black apron (pictured). Meow.
Fabrics for many of these pieces are satin and silk brocades, some have
aprons, and some of the models look like Paris Hilton.
I will
say that this is quality stuff at least from the looks of it and they
have full outfit sets for men and women as low as 169 euros each,
complete with shoes. There are fancy accessories and belt buckles, and,
of course, clothes for kinder.
I have to wonder, is this
ultimately based on a beer hall waitress fetish? Is it for those
obsessed with Disney Character /MILFs? I guess that’s for you to decide.
