Kaleidoscopic prints and sharp silhouettes make up the signature style of Belle Sauvage. The work of design duo Virginia Ferreira and Christian Neuman has already proved a hit with the celebrity crowd and they are developing a loyal following after only a few seasons.

Sexy short dresses and swimwear were the mainstay of this strong, fresh collection. Sharp angular cutting was in evidence, with conical shaping over breasts, geometric folded and tucked detailing and extended shoulders being key. The prints are captivating with their intense colour and detail, inspired by fairytales and the surreal, the bolder peices are reminiscent of grand and beautiful stained glass windows.

For the spring season however, they have included some really successful pieces on white – with a lighter, more delicate feel. Zip fastenings are a favourite feature throughout the collection and leather pieces also emphasise the strong, rebellious tone of the brand. This is a brand that has created a great combination of rock-chic glamour, alongside potential, huge commercial appeal.
