Belles Launch Success
A big thank-you to all that turned up to our in-house label – Belles of London spring launch last Thursday. Six capsule collections from each Belle (Belle Esme right) were showcased as guests enjoyed Prosecco and cupcakes whilst the evening’s entertainment came courtesy of expert style and image consultants Red Leopard. A huge thank-you to Annie and Manina from Red Leopard! They were entertaining, insightful and a perfect fit for the Belles brand.
Annie said: “We have just arrived home after an incredible evening with you all. What a wonderful team you have and what great energy you produce. Thank-you for inviting us to speak, we love the chance to share what we know about colours and their effects and to point a finger in the direction of the style of clothes that we all wear. We loved meeting your team and hope that they enjoyed the evening as much as we did.”
