Sometimes a collection begins long before the first dress is sewn.
It begins with a feeling. A mood. A dream. For me, Belle Époque is exactly that. Follow along and watch the new collection take shape.
Inspired by an era of beauty and elegance
Belle Époque means “the beautiful era” and describes a period in France around 1900 when art, craftsmanship and elegance flourished.
It was a time when small details were valued, and beauty was not about following trends, but about creating something timeless. That idea has inspired me deeply.
Romantic vintage and classic French elegance
I have always been drawn to a romantic and feminine world. Fine French lace, soft tulle, beautiful bows and embroidered details.
Materials and elements that create a look that feels both timeless and poetic. It is this love of romantic vintage and classic French elegance that forms the foundation of Belle Époque.
A new interpretation of the classic christening gown
Belle Époque is inspired by the desire to combine tradition with romantic vintage and classic French elegance.
The collection will consist of short christening gowns, with a length that just covers the little feet. The result is light, feminine and timeless, while allowing the beautiful details in lace, tulle and bows to take centre stage.
Inspired by the French love of craftsmanship and elegance, each gown will have its own romantic expression — created for the small moments that become memories for life.
Small dresses with great meaning
The short christening gowns in the Belle Époque collection are created with inspiration from romantic vintage and classic French couture. Fine French lace, soft tulle and feminine details take centre stage, while the shorter length gives the gowns a light and poetic look.
A modern interpretation of the traditional christening gown — created with a love of craftsmanship and respect for the traditions that can follow a child through life.
A collection created from the heart
Each design will be created with the same care and respect for detail that characterise every christening gown from Evie Brooklyn.
Names with French inspiration
Just as the collection is inspired by France, each gown will have its own name. Names filled with romance and elegance.
Amélie.
Joséphine.
Madeleine
Colette.
Fleur.
Each name tells its own story and contributes to the poetic world that Belle Époque represents.
More than a collection
For me, Belle Époque is a natural extension of the world Evie Brooklyn is built around. A world created with love for the small details. For craftsmanship. For traditions. And for the moments that become memories for life.
Because some of life’s most beautiful memories begin with the smallest moments.
