Great Minds Think alike Pt 2.

Its a weird world out there. On the other side of our beautiful earth, another designer has had inspiration for her Spring Summer 2011 collection the same as the inspiration of our Spring Summer 2010/2011  and unknowingly produced a very similar product, with a very similar name with very similar design features.

We LOVE Charlotte Olympia! Sister of famous supermodel Alice Dallal, Teenage Muse to Valentino, We love her brand, her personal style and well, just her (not a wonder why, when you see the picture below).

(can you say lady-crush)

When looking at her lovely online store, we saw that her current inspiration for her spring summer collection of shoes is Carmen Miranda. Then we spied her “Tutti Frutti Flats” which are very similar to our “Fruit Salad Flats” (whose first name was going to be Tutti Frutti Flats). Synchronicity or what? Note, even the similar placement of the strawberry, banana and orange. (BB’s are the hand beaded shoe on top, CO’s are the leather pieced shoe below)

Ladies, watch out for Belle Bijoux Australia’s wedges in BB’s Summer Collection! Wood Heel Lovin’…

Faces that Inspire

Looking forward to the launch of Belle Bijoux’s new collection, entitled “Woman of Heart and Mind” we would like to share some of the muses that inspired the collection.

The talented Joni Mitchell’s raw unconventional beauty is enhanced by the chilling mastery of her music. We love her so much, the collection is named after one of her songs.

Ali MacGraw circa “Love Story” with Ryan O’Neal – *sigh*

The Amazing Brooke Shield’s as a young actress sends a shiver down our spine every time we look at her, there is some sort of secret allure that she has which we cant quite put our finger on.

Last but certainly not least, French singer, actress and astrologer Francoise Hardy is something else. X
