Introducing New Blood Designer Collective: The Ravenous Belle & Don
Designer collective – The Ravenous Belle & Don launches its first pop up art space this September 2011 ahead of London Fashion Week and the London Design Festival. The collective is formed of a distinctine group of the city’s best young design talent comprising fashion, accessories, furnishings and art.
Designers offer a mix of styles such as Central St Martin’s College of Art & Design reared Mark Fast, jewelry lovers’ one to watch Miquella and the hottest under the radar labels championed by Rosie Huntington Whiteley, Lady Gaga, Lily Cole, Gwen Stefani, Dita von Teese and the Jagger sisters.
Asserting an integral point of difference from other designer collectives, each label in the group has its own tale to tell. The Ravenous Belle & Don presents a counterpoint to interchangeable brands that don’t engage. The group believe its not enough for fashion to just look nice; people fall in love with stories and characters that mean something to them. Each label in the collective offers beauty in layers: some charming, some subversive, some awe-inspiring. Curiosities all.
The collective will present exciting creative hubs in cities across the globe, offering beautifully stylised spaces for people to drop in, read books, drink tea and explore each label. Each space will also offer a series of evening art events to showcase the diverse creativity each country has to offer, from film screenings and exhibitions to live music and performance art shows.
The first pop up art space will launch in London – the home of the collective’s founding labels Ma Mignonnette, Candy Baker, Arlette Ess and Trevor & Susan. The location will be opposite Spitalfield’s Market, a stone’s throw from Brick Lane and Shoreditch - the city’s unarguable creative centre – at 98 Commercial Street, E1, for 8 days from Thursday 8th – Thursday 15th September 2011; 10am-10pm (Thurs-Sat), 10am-8pm (Sun-Weds).
