I had the pleasure of interviewing Melanie, the owner and designer of VoyeurX, a renowned Dutch brand that specializes in luxury leather lingerie and exclusive BDSM accessories. 

As an aficionado of lingerie, kinky outfits, and fetishwear, I’ve always admired VoyeurX’s beauty, quality, and versatility. Their slogan, “the perfect mix between fetish and fashion,” is the ultimate way to describe the result of that irresistible fusion. Every item is lovingly hand-crafted by Melanie herself, meticulously designed with the most intricate details, providing innovative options for wearing each piece in different ways, all with a refined aesthetic that’s always on-trend with modern fashions.

Beyond the sumptuously soft premium leather, and the O-rings incorporated into many designs to give you the flexibility of getting kinky whenever and wherever, one of my favorite features of VoyeurX designs is the adjustable sizing. Being able to loosen or tighten my outfits to fit comfortably amid yearlong body fluctuations is a rare luxury that I wouldn’t expect from leather lingerie, but Melanie cleverly devised a way to make each exclusive piece fit as though it’s bespoke. That means you can wear VoyeurX anytime and anywhere, from swingers and fetish clubs, or integrated into your outfit for your next sexy dinner date.

Read my exclusive interview with Melanie below to learn more about VoyeurX!

L.S.: Each piece on VoyeurX is designed and handmade by you personally. You have incredible talents! What first drew you to designing lingerie and kink accessories?
Six years ago, I started my brand to bring fetish out of a dark corner and make it more mainstream by selling an experience in addition to the product. I use my designs in beautiful photoshoots and inspire women to embrace their sexuality. I want to show that fetish can be fashionable and accessible, allowing open discussion about fantasies and desires.

L.S.: What can you tell us about your unique slogan, “The Perfect Mix Between Fetish and Fashion?”
For each design, I look at fashion trends and demands in the erotic market. I combine all these elements in a single design, which underpins my slogan. Each product is designed to be versatile and can be worn on various occasions. Besides being suitable to wear on bare skin, my products combine very well with lingerie, club wear, or sexy clothing, adding a kinky touch to your favorite outfit.

L.S.: How does it feel for you when you put on one of your own designs? 
Even though it's leather lingerie, I feel extremely sexy and feminine in VoyeurX. Every unique design accentuates my feminine curves in the most beautiful way. The use of leather and belts makes me feel tough and powerful, which contributes to feeling confident when I wear VoyeurX.

L.S.: Who wears VoyeurX lingerie and BDSM accessories? Is it only for lifestylers and kinksters?
VoyeurX is for fashionable, open-minded women around the world. The leather lingerie and bondage accessories are sophisticated and suitable for a wider audience that appreciates quality and sustainability.

L.S.: I’ve seen swingers wearing VoyeurX lingerie and kinky outfits at SDC parties. How does it feel for you when you attend an event and see people wearing items you made with your own hands?
I feel proud when I see women beaming with self-confidence when they’re wearing VoyeurX, and I compliment them. When I get to know my target group better on the dance floor, it gives me even more energy and inspiration to design my new collections.

L.S.: It’s impressive how much detail each piece you design has and how well each outfit is made to fit different bodies. What’s your secret to creating that perfect fit?
I'm not going to reveal my secret, but I will explain why I chose my "adjustable fit" formula: I'm a bit slimmer during summer than during winter, like many other women, resulting in lingerie staying in my closet because they just don't fit properly. Considering that some items can be pricey, that's a real shame. This is why I use the adjustable fit formula: the leather straps in each design are adjustable to ensure a perfect fit. This ensures that you can wear VoyeurX lingerie all year round.

L.S.: Since you started VoyeurX, how have the lingerie and BDSM accessories industries evolved?
Fifty Shades of Grey brought about positive changes in the areas of bondage and BDSM. The books and films have made this topic open and discussable. Certain bondage elements can also be seen in the mainstream world. The demand for these products has therefore increased considerably. Because of Fifty Shades, people are not just looking for products, but for an experience — and that is exactly what VoyeurX offers.

L.S.: It’s a myth that people need a special occasion to dress up or wear something sexy or kinky. For what occasions, and in which places, do you recommend people try wearing a VoyeurX outfit? I’d love to hear some of your fashion tips!
VoyeurX lingerie is made of leather and is the perfect kinky clothing outfit for your favorite fetish party. Our exclusive leather accessories, such as masks, collars, and leashes, can contribute to your fetish desires. The leather, buckles, and metal details add a tough edge to your kinky look, which fits perfectly with a fetish party.

You can enter the swingers club looking sexy by combining VoyeurX with erotic clothing such as a transparent dress, a sexy catsuit, a lace blouse, or a mesh bodysuit. VoyeurX accessories add a kinky touch to your erotic clothing style and match well with a leather skirt or leather pants. When changing into lingerie during the evening, leather open harnesses and suspenders combine extremely well with your favorite luxurious erotic lingerie. Lace and leather is the perfect teaser for the swingers club.

Complete your festival look with leather lingerie and rock like a vixen during your favorite festival in the summer. It's so easy — put a leather harness over your summer outfit, and you are immediately festival-ready! In no time, you’ll add a tough edge to your fashionable outfit and become the center of attention at your favorite stage!
VoyeurX is also a welcome guest at lingerie parties where women typically wear lingerie, and men enter in a suit. The open harnesses and bodysuits combine beautifully with your favorite lingerie, and the leather straps complete your erotic lingerie look. Sensual fabrics such as lace and transparent mesh combine perfectly with leather. This powerful combination is the perfect teaser and will have the spotlight shining on you.

L.S.: What should people look for when they shop for sexy lingerie and BDSM gear to wear to fetish parties and at swingers clubs?
At fetish parties and in swingers clubs, there are strict rules regarding the dress code. Read the rules carefully before purchasing new items. If you are new to the world of leather lingerie and accessories, I recommend starting with entry-level products. If you already know that you enjoy this world or if you are more experienced, I would suggest investing in quality products that are more durable. Choose items that can be worn in different ways, which makes the purchased product versatile and usable for various occasions.

L.S.: As a couples coach, a LOT of my clients ask how they can incorporate kinky roleplay into their sex life. Do you have any suggestions for them as to how they can get started?
Communication = key. However, Many people find it difficult to express and share their deepest fantasies with their partner out of fear or shame. If that sounds like you, my tip is not to speak them out but to write them down.

On different colored notes — one color for each of you — you and your partner can each write a kinky roleplay scenario in a few sentences, then fold up your note. If you have more fantasies, you create multiple notes. Store all folded notes together.

And then when you're ready for a hot night together, one of you takes a note and without sharing the content with your partner, executes it with your partner’s consent and within the boundaries of your scenario and relationship dynamic.

After experiencing the kinky roleplay, you can share your thoughts and feelings with each other about the scenario. It's a great way to get to know each other's kinky side better — and your own, too.

L.S.: For open-minded couples who are looking to spice up their sex life, what are some of the must-have BDSM accessories they need to begin their kink kit?
Handcuffs and ankle cuffs are indispensable when restricting your partner's freedom of movement. Clip them together or to your furniture with a carabiner and enjoy total control. A BDSM collar with a leash immediately guides you into the right mood for role play. A blindfold tickles your senses. There is also an element of sexual anticipation because you don't know what to expect; a whisper or light caress is enough to turn your body ON. 

L.S.: For kinksters who are into BDSM and are looking for sexy outfits to wear to the dungeon or fetish clubs, or in private with their play partner(s), what features and accessories do VoyeurX have that can cater to their kinky desires and give them the comfort of being able to live in the moment and fully release their inhibitions?
During a hot night of sharing, VoyeurX lingerie and accessories are perfect! I use the softest leather available on the market for high comfort, so you can wear the lingerie and accessories all night long. The open leather harnesses and open thongs are designed so that you don't have to take them off while exploring erotic adventures, and they are perfect if you don't want to be completely naked while still wanting to give your bed partner(s) an extra viewing dimension. O-rings are incorporated into the designs for endless possibilities for your bondage play, such as combining with carabiners, handcuffs, thigh cuffs, leashes, and more.

L.S.: Some people think it’s complicated or high-maintenance to keep their lingerie and kink items in good condition and to clean them after play sessions, especially when sometimes there is metal, leather, and other fabrics all in the same piece. What can you share about how people can keep their VoyeurX gear fresh and clean?
All leather items are finished with a transparent layer to prevent external influences from affecting the materials. The details in the product are safely made of nickel-free metal. You can clean the product with a damp cloth with clothing detergent and let it dry in its natural wearing form. Store the product in a dark place to maintain its good condition.

L.S.: How can someone integrate your VoyeurX designs with their everyday outfits, like for a dinner date?
All VoyeurX designs are refined and fashionably designed to be worn as a fashion accessory during the day or evening. Leather accessories like leather collars or leather handcuffs that you wear by candlelight as a fashion statement accessory will give your outfit the kinky edge it needs. Stimulate your date's senses with leather and put them in the right mood. Leather harnesses under a transparent top in combination with a leather skirt or pants are the perfect outfit for a dinner date if you want to express a sense of style and class.

L.S.: The future's looking bright! What’s next for you, and what can we all look forward to experiencing from VoyeurX? 
We have exciting plans in store for our customers and fans! We can't reveal everything yet, but we have a teaser exclusively for the readers of this interview: Following many requests from men who are looking for the same soft leather quality as the VoyeurX lingerie they bought for their partner, we recently released a men's harness collection. VoyeurX MEN is very successful, and this year, in addition to the existing silver hardware, we will expand the men's collection with two new hardware colors — gold and gunmetal from nickel-free metal.
