Belle Sauvage
For the shy wallflower the spring/summer 2010 collection is not, fusing the label's now notorious signature graphic style with surrealist prints featuring fairytale storylines. While many of the prints are striking and bold, some more delicate styles have emerged for a lighter summer silhouette. Block colours in shocking scarlet and electric blues create a contrast to the clashing primary hues of the geometric graphic prints and trademark lipstick detailing.
With a nod to futurism this season’s shapes also see a touch of the 90’s, with conical shaped breasts and origami-styled directional cuts on hips, chest and the occasional boxy shoulder. Zips feature heavily throughout and highlight an abundance of leather detailing and panelled construction as featured on the more full-on biker styled leather dress. Dupion silks, printed silk scarf’s and hankerchiefs also provide playful accessories.
Unsurprisingly Belle Sauvage has secured a celebrity fan base that includes VV Brown, Kelly Osbourne, Juliette Lewis, La Roux, Lady GaGa, Katy Perry and New Young Pony Club.
