Belle Sauvage, the label from emerging design duo Virginia Ferreira and Christian Neuman, delivered a strong and powerful collection moved by industrial imagery found in German expressionism.
Belle Sauvage, known for its signature digital prints, offered an amalgamation of classic/ futuristic drawings and heavy machinery prints for autumn winter. Distinct, contrasting styles are found throughout the collection, as hard structured leather meets soft silk chiffon, crepe and jersey. H.R. Giger, a leader of the fantastic realism movement, is the muse.
The show had a mechanical feel to it, the models walked slowly, almost like robots and the music was very industrial-esque. The hair and make-up looked amazing (apparently the hair alone took 2 weeks to do!) The braided side plaits resembled a machine chain, in keeping with the theme of the show. 
Spidery open dresses, intricate loose knit weaves and chunky coatigans sashayed down the catwalk at Ramon Gurillo’s stunning autumn winter collection.
On|Off is launching a pop-up shop with a conscience this season called ‘Thought of the Day’, to help raise money for the children of Haiti.
On|Off director Lee Lapthorne said: “I just wanted to do something -something to show that we respect him and his inspiration to so many of our designers. The wall will give people an opportunity to reflect and remember.”
The display has been created by product designer Michael Warren.
