Former showgirl Mariesa Mae is using her years of experience crafting her own unique costumes for performances to create a collection that dares to be different. Combining silk, leather, and signature latex lace, the collection exudes sophistication whilst also being playful and provocative.

Drawing inspiration from the seduction of burlesque performances, Mariesa Mae Lingerie champions femininity, body confidence and female empowerment. The brand launches its #sexyontheinside campaign encouraging women to feel good about who they are from within, to coincide with the release of their debut collection. To convey the brand message and to showcase AW18 collection, Mariesa Mae Lingerie has created a short film starring Australian model, Rhyme.

There are four distinct looks in the signature collection from the Mariesa Mae brand, two of which are already available to pre-order. Godiva Latex uses laser cut latex lace for a softer, flirtatious take on latex lingerie. Inspired by 1940’s shapewear, the Lola ‘n’ Leather range gives classic lines a daring ‘rock ‘n’ roll appeal. In mid September ’90’s Crush’ will be released and available to pre-order, combining silk velvet and tulle with 90’s retro styling. For those that love the feel of silk and the shimmer of Swarovski crystal embellishments, glamorous underwear is just a click away.

Under the stylish designs and daring ethos, Mariesa Mae is all about inspiring confidence and encouraging women to celebrate what makes them unique. “So many fashion brands, and lingerie brands in particular, can make women feel inadequate by reinforcing unrealistic ideals,” she said. “The world of burlesque is inclusive, sexy, and fun, and that’s exactly what we want to capture in every piece from Mariesa Mae Lingerie. Feeling confident, empowered and being present is sexy. I want women to embrace their inner goddess, love who they are and uncover the true sexiness inside themselves.”
