What is the Spiegeltent?

The "Famous" Spiegeltent refers to a 1920's era Belgian mirrored ("spiegel" = mirror) cabaret tent that visits Melbourne very year to herald the start of the Melbourne International Arts Festival. Spiegeltents are the style of venue (mirrored cabaret tents) and Famous is the name of this particular one that visits Melbourne. It is also one of the key attractions for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The Spiegeltent plays host to a combination of music, cabaret, burlesque, circus and comedy events whenever it's touring around the world.

Why did you choose Stylishly Spiegeltent?

How do you come dressed in Stylishly Spiegeltent?

Well there isn't a set formula really! Anything goes so long as it has the look and feel of something that would call the Spiegeltent home. This can range from cabaret to burlesque or even circus! I've provided some suggestions below but it is by no means limited to the list below - let your imagination run wild! However, that said, if I see anyone in a corporate power suit with a pink tie, untold punishment (probably involving a whip) will be exacted to the entertainment of everyone else.

So lets summarize:

The Stylishly Spiegeltent look is a balance between:

  • Vintage attire
  • Being slightly racey and saucy
  • Leaving something for the imagination
  • Well dressed - elegant
  • Understated fashion
  • Over the top outfits
