Eastern tradition meets Western opulence in Belle Sauvage’s
showcase with the two juxtaposed to produce something wholly modern. With a philosophy that states
every Belle Sauvage piece is a statement piece, designers Virginia Ferreira and
Chris Neuman offset luxury prints with contemporary shapes in a way that keeps
the room on their toes. Founded in 2008 by the London and Luxemboug based
design duo, the Belle Sauvage aesthetic is strong and makes an entrance each
season.
Lights go up to reveal a girl cult of urban sultry models decked
in fluid patterns that are sharply counteracted with geometric hair, playing homage
to London & Japanese street style. Strong with a cheeky strike, the new
collection calls inspiration from Gothic and Baroque styles as well as the
Renaissance era remaining chic throughout. Leather trims, heavy crepes, taffeta
and woven jacquards create a richness in the looks that resonates throughout
the whole collection.
High end design and street wear come together in a creative
balance where beanie hats are paired with leather look sky high boots and fur
collars that make the Belle Sauvage girl a force to be reckoned with. With a
colour palette that ranges from deep reds, purples and magenta the pop art playfulness
of the collection comes to a slick finish with accents of silver, gold, and
white.
