I can´t tell you how this picture (below) of Christian Neumann and Virginia Ferreira, the heads behind UK-based label  Belle Sauvage, makes my heart jump. Eight years ago, Christian, three other friends and i moved in an old house in a tiny Swabian village to spend one year together while studying.

Besides being interested in fashion as in other design-related disciplines, we spent our time on artsy fartsy things and new media design stuff and left one year later to go abroad.
If somebody would have told us, that eight years later, Christian is doing a fashion show during London Fashion Week with this girl he met in Buenos Aires, and that i will have a fashion blog writing about their label that went to zero to super-boost…we probably might have called this person a damn fool.

After multiplying the erotic silhouette of a cyberspace dominatrix with an artistically illustrated comic-book you add the power of lax comfort and high-quality materials with the exponent bold color.
