Peek magazine launch party
Last Sunday we had our Harlow bullet bra appear in NOTW's Fabulous magazine. It seems like all the Sunday papers were going crazy for the 'underwear as outerwear' story last weekend. I've no idea why! April's Vogue has continued with the theme with some great pictures of Kate Moss (alas, not our lingerie, but they're great images).

Sunday also saw the launch of Peek! magazine in our boutique. Our boutique has only just recovered from it's refurbishment and it was the first time we were filled to capacity which meant that our extra space came in very handy! Feedback from customers over the last few days has been overwhelmingly positive:
'I would like to offer my sincere thanks and appreciation. From the moment I walked into your store, I was made welcome; I was treated with courtesy and professionalism. Your staff are very knowledgeable, and patient! I really appreciate the time and effort they expended in helping me make my purchases, and making the right purchases. Retail is a tough business, and the recession has made things harder for a lot of people, but I believe you have a brand, a reputation and staff to succeed in even these trying times.'

By this point Peek! photographer Tony Nylons had decided to liven up the proceedings by taking a peek into the changing rooms. I'm afraid you'll have to wait until the next issue of Peek! to see more... Peek! magazine can be purchased from What Katie Did online or instore, or from
Peek! magazine direct (who also do subscriptions).

This Sunday sees the launch of Peek magazine in our London boutique. It looks like most of the WKD team will be there so if you want to meet everyone, as well as Tony Nylons, the man behind Peek, please come along.
Peek! magazine is a publication for those in the know. It is inspired by gentlemen’s magazines from the 1950’s, a period where simply a glimpse of a ladies under-garment was enough to send many into convulsions. If you've been following Tony's work for What Katie Did over the last few years you'll know that he's slightly different from the standard pin up photographer as the bottom picture demonstrates (no this wasn't a Photoshop jobbie, the tanks are real!)
Peek is available through What Katie Did (both online and in our boutique - from Sunday), subscriptions are available direct from Peek Magazine. It'll also be available through vintage boutiques nationwide (if you're interested in stocking it, or advertising in it, please contact Tony).


What Katie Did in Fabulous Magazine (again!)
Sunday saw is in News of the World's Fabulous magazine in an Alice in Wonderland inspired shoot. Our Maitresse bullet bra can only just be seen but we forgive Fabulous as the photographs are so beautiful! Last Friday also saw our lingerie appear on ITV's This Morning as part of a Underwear as Outerwear feature.
