Hi, if you thought "Dirndl" (a traditional Austrian dress for women) are boring, you probably have not seen Lena Hoschek reinterpreting them in her own distinct fashion, and always with a smile on her face.

First thing you will notice when watching a Lena Hoschek show is that she does not rely on the super skinny models everybody else seems to use nowadays. Instead, she brings her own 1960ies style armada of pin-up models with her, that are blessed to be curvy & busty. A feature that is advantageous for Dirndl dresses by the way, because their form emphasizes the bust area before everything else.

Other naughty vintage stuff you will see in her shows are vintage lingerie mixed with semi-transparent latex stockings, vintage dresses with flower prints & lace, ladies in bondage and harnesses and "Tie me up!" T-shirts, everything presented with a subtle sense of humor.
