Charmskool House — a one-off alt/fet event from Alexandra Houston of Wasted Chic, Le Boutique Bazaar and Charmskool Shop fame — will take place at a secret Soho venue on Saturday September 14, during London Fashion Week.
Co-presented by Lover Management and combining art, education and social elements, it will feature a diverse line-up of artistic performances and exhibitions curated by Matt Skully, and promises to create “a vibrant and inclusive space for all attendees”.
Charmskool House will showcase a range of creative talents working in six broad categories, encompassing photography, play, film, live drawing, tattoos and design.

This one-off Charmskool House event is described by its hosts as inclusive, fetish and sex-positive adjacent, supportive of sex workers, and celebrating of people within the kink community. “Attendees can expect a night filled with creativity, expression, and acceptance,” says Alexandra. “We encourage guests to arrive in their fetish finery — latex, leather and other extravagant or provocative fashion is all welcome.

The venue’s quirky nature means capacity is limited, so advance booking is highly recommended to ensure a spot at this exclusive gathering. Tickets are available now via Dice FM — link below.
Incidentally, if you haven’t yet visited the Charmskool Shop website, it’s well worth checking out — even more so since etsy’s de-platforming of many fetish and sex-positive brands. The site features a constantly growing and evolving handpicked selection of top international brands offering products with a spicy or avant garde twist sustainably made and handcrafted by small businesses.
