EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, two young waitresses stand outside the iconic Waitresses strip club in Soho, London, during the 1980s. The image, captured in 1986, offers a glimpse into the vibrant and often controversial nightlife scene of the area before its transformation. Soho, known for its bohemian and artistic community, was a hub of adult entertainment during the 1980s. The Waitresses club, with its neon lights and suggestive signage, was a prominent feature of the district. The two waitresses, dressed in red uniforms with white aprons and high heels, exude confidence and allure as they pose for the camera. Their expressions suggest a sense of camaraderie and pride in their work. The photograph, taken by acclaimed British photographer Philip Dunn, captures the energy and excitement of Soho's nightlife scene during the 1980s. The era was marked by a sense of freedom and rebellion, with music, fashion, and art pushing boundaries and challenging societal norms. The Waitresses club was a reflection of this spirit, offering a space where people could let go of their inhibitions and indulge in the pleasures of the night. However, the area around the Waitresses club has undergone significant changes since the 1980s. Many of the adult entertainment venues have closed down, and Soho has evolved into a more gentrified and commercialized district. This photograph serves as a reminder of the unique and often overlooked history of Soho's nightlife scene during this era. It captures a moment in time when the area was a place of freedom, creativity, and self-expression, and the Waitresses club was a symbol of the vibrant and often controversial culture that thrived there.
