4-Club Clubwear & Clothing News

Here at 4-club.co.uk we tend to focus on UK based club and raver wear outlets. However, we have stumbled across a US based independent manufacturer and supplier of clubwear that we think is worthy of note; Enlightened Libra Creations.

Run by Shayna, Redhead the Pirate, a self-confessed “chick that Always sticks out in a crowd”, the site retails her completely unique clubwear creations. Believe me, buy one of these and no one in the nightclub, or for that matter the entire planet, will be wearing the same outfit.

These clubbing and raving clothers are mostly in the baggy, patchwork “raver” style and are fabulously well designed. The designs are intended to rebel against mass produced “label” wear and eschew common convention. Unlike many club and raver wear outlets, you don’t need to be a size 8, 18 year old podium dancer to look good in these outfits. Many of the trousers are suitable for either men or women.

Enlightened Libra Creations‘ site is a wonderful place to visit with much to explore, a webcam showing the room where the clothes are created and, if Shayna is in, live webchat with Redhead herself.

Shipping to the UK can start from just $5, making buying from this unique American outlet a viable alternative to anything you could obtain in the UK.

Our favourite item here at 4-club headquarters has to be these unisex Betty Boop Bondage Pants, for just $67.00!

Unfortunately, due to high levels of comment spam I’ve had to turn off comments on this weblog for the moment.

If you would like to add anything to any of the posts here please email me on paul[at]theaardvark.co.uk.

Comments will be restarted as soon as I can deal with the comment spam. Unfortunately that is likely to mean I need to upgrade to the latest version of WordPress, the software that runs this weblog. In turn, this means taking some time to do the upgrade and that, unfortunately, is in very short supply here at 4-club HQ. We’re just too busy partying every weekend (boy do I wish…..)

Online club and raver clothing company Gobbolino is another example of the type of company we love here at 4-club - a manufacturer and retailer of custom made, unique clothes for clubbers and ravers. Gobbolino specializes in everything for the urban raving fairy; big furry boot covers, beautiful hand customised fairy wings, skirts and head garlands in a flurry of Rainbow-Brite’esque. An unusual range of thigh-hi legwarmers, cute animal ear hats and sexy lolita lace mini skirts makes Gobbolino an magpie find for those wanting a truly original outfit.

Gobbolino outfits were seen first on the streets of Camden Town, London and quickly became available to buy in individual clubwear and alternative shops around the UK and abroad. The clothes are heavily influenced by the street wear of the Haruko girls of Japan with their original and inspiring handmade garments. This craze has swept through to the main stream recently with Gwen Steffani’s album ‘Lamb’ where she embraces the Gobbolino style to be different.

Gobbolino’s online club wear store has been trading since 1999 and their catalogue grows from week to week with the regularly changing trends that encapsulates the new generation of cyber shoppers.

Ladies, fancy something a little different to the standard cyber/raver clothes? How about a dabble in Goth? Don’t scoff, there’s a larger crossover between cyber/raver and goth than you might think.

Contrary to popular opinion, not all Goth clothing is dark and depressing. Goth wear for ladies especially can be fabulously powerful and sexy. Check out the pink evening gown shown here.

Enter the Fairy God Mother’s sartorially gifted angsty sister: FairyGothMother

Prices seem to start at around £60 for a basic corset (more basic corsets) and run up to £400 - 500 for couture dresses.

For those women uncertain about wearing corsets they have a FAQ, articles online as well as a popular forum. The FairyGothMother shop also welcomes visitors for measuring and advice.

And what if you can’t bring yourself to shop on a Goth site? Buy from the sister site FairyGodMother.

Ever felt like a million dollars in a club but felt the butt of a million jokes on the way home the following morning?

UBUV.com specialises in selling ladies clubwear and raver clothing that stands out in a nightclub but doesn’t in daylight. Each design is available in a range of colours, with contrasting UV reactive stitching and prices start from just £14.

UBUV.com clothes are ideal for all night events, such as the festivals, and UBUV.com does most of its business trading at the major dance festivals in the UK. In its fourth year, UBUV.com is looking forward to the 2006 festival as it plans to expand into the major European festival scene.

Clothes ordered via the website are made to order. UBUV.com may therefore be able to customise designs to your specification.

The ultimate in sexy, risqué clubwear has to be the hotpants, tops and bikinis worn by podium dancers. Especially the clubwear bikinis, very few shops sell these items.

Along with lingerie, PVC wear and “fantasy wear”, A1 Clubwear sells the most outrageous club, rave and dance wear you can imagine. Bikini dance wear, trousers and chaps and cocktail dresses all start from £35.

Our latest find for club and raver wear here at 4-club.co.uk is TechnoKitty. TechnoKitty carries a good range of clothing and accessories for all clubbers and ravers; large or small, male or female.

TechnoKitty retails clothing by favourites such as Couch, Span and Bug but also lesser known ranges (to us at least) Cybertart, Dane and Limb.

TechnoKitty is under new management having apparently been bought recently by Kavort Ltd, the company behind online footwear shop Pennangalan Dreams.

Whilst the women’s club / cyber wear market seems to go from strength to strength with companies constantly releasing new designs, there seems to be a dearth of club wear for men who want something a little more outrageous than a printed t-shirt with a fancy logo.

So 4-club.co.uk has gathered here some of the best clubwear designs for men that we can find. If you have any other suggestions please leave a comment here or email us.

Cyber-Jyber have a small selection of men’s clubwear consisting mainly of Club design trousers with UV and / or reflective motifs or patterns.

Uberworld, the clubwear section of Kathmandu Online, again restricts its men’s club wear selection to club design trousers, of which we quite like these Scotchlite Bondage Trousers for £35.50. If you risk a look through Underworld, their Goth clothing section, there are some other designs that would be suitable for dance clubs.

Lucid has always carried a good selection of both men’s and women’s club wear, although the men may have to search through the wide range of items to find their stuff. We particularly like the extreme Freehand Tops from Couch. The electro-luminescent E-Shirts are also well worth a look.

Spun Out not only has a good selection of club design trousers, but also some interesting shirts, tops and excellent jackets. Our favourite is this Criminal Damage Hook Western Top for £32.95.

And, of course, the ever present Cyberdog always carries one of the widest selection of club clothing for men.

Do you know of anywhere that equals or surpasses these. Please do let us know so that we can tell the world……
