EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, a young waitress stands outside the iconic Waitress Soho strip club in London's bustling Soho district, dating back to 1986. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, a time when the area was known for its vibrant nightlife and adult entertainment venues before they were largely shut down. The waitress, dressed in a red miniskirt and white blouse, looks both determined and slightly apprehensive as she leans against the club's ornate wrought-iron gate. Her expression suggests the challenges and complexities of her role, as she prepares to face the crowds of patrons pouring out of the club and the streets of Soho. The photograph, taken in the 1980s, is a testament to the unique character of Soho during that decade. The area was a hub of creativity, diversity, and adult entertainment, with its labyrinthine streets teeming with artists, musicians, writers, and performers. The Waitress Soho club, with its neon lights and alluring models, was a popular destination for locals and tourists alike. The photograph was taken by renowned British photographer Philip Dunn, who captured the energy and excitement of Soho during this period. His work has been featured in numerous publications and exhibitions, and this image is a standout in his extensive portfolio. Today, Soho has undergone significant changes, with many of its adult entertainment venues closed down and replaced by trendy bars, restaurants, and boutique shops. However, this photograph serves as a reminder of the area's rich history and the people who helped shape its unique character. It is a poignant snapshot of a time when Soho was a place of freedom, creativity, and excitement, where the boundaries between art, entertainment, and life were blurred.
