ATELIER 11 AT BROWNS- AW10

I recently met one of the designers from Atelier 11, and mumbled at him about how much I loved what they do while gawping at the AW10 Collection (below)- lots of laquered/ rubberised pieces that remind me of industrial parts of submarines or something. Atelier 11 is the creative station of Ludovic Calpaert and Flor Janssens who have a studio in Antwerp, and create Jewellery for loads of designer big cheeses like Victor & Rolf and Margiela.. anyway I was always like "why dont you sell in London..."
So after gushing this in my state of adoration, either Ludovic or Flor told me they have just sold to Brown's in London (I'm gessuing Focus..) so I'm going to have to totter down and dream the affordation (a word?).

BELLE SAUVAGE AW10 PREVIEW (Cutting Edge)

So behind the curtain next to me have been hanging the beautifully printed Metropolis inspired collection of Belle Sauvage... I didnt realise that this label duo was heavily into sci-fi, but now I am a instant fan of their geoetry and clever arragnement of placement print- my favorite piece being the chiffon mini and spikey-hipped dress/top, which feels seriously luxurious (like Giles Deacon standard of high-quality production going on with this) mmmm
 Belle Sauvage will be also presenting the full collection at On/Off this season, so  it does seem as though London is becoming the place to watch the progression of the digital print trend- ohhhh the possibilities...
