16/11/11
Queene and Belle were at the London and Paris Fashion Show Weeks as usual this year.
As well as spending time with clients and showing the new collections for the following season, there was a little time to wander around the streets of Paris and discover some inspiring window displays.

These were taken of a lovely bookstore on the Rue de Rivoli in Paris. The bags in the window were made from vintage wrapping paper.
In London, we show our collection from the Haymarket Hotel. This is a lovely venue and a great space to work from, as you can see from the photos.

The Perfect Highland Croft Wedding
14/06/11
Blessed with a gloriously sunny day on the Isle of Skye, Queene & Belle put the icing on the cake for the perfect Highland Croft Wedding with a beautifully customised vintage dress. Working her magic Queene & Belle owner and Head Designer Angela transformed a delicate silk tulle shift from the 1930‘s into a unique piece, by embellishing it with beads and antique lace trim. Worn over a silk slip with grosgrain straps and a matching cashmere wrap – it was the perfect outfit for a very special day.
If you have your own special occasion coming up don’t hesitate to contact Queene & Belle.
