Place Your Bettys!

Catwalk gazelle, Agyness Deyn and muso Lily Allen are already dedicated followers of new ultra-feminine and vintage inspired label Betty B. And you can forget all connotations of Fifties poster girls or that vaguely annoying boppy popstrel from the 90’s, Betty B’s roots are planted firmly in her rustic French childhood. Think gingham, pleats and girly cute dresses….

Taking her lead from her French grandmother - who worked as seamstress for Coco Chanel, no less - this former film production chick focuses her talents on more contemporary shapes.  But always cut from eco-fabulous vintage fabrics.

Her spring summer collection sees cute playsuits and mere wisps of dresses with fluffy puffy sleeves. Ladies, we do believe it may be time to start channeling your inner Emmanuelle Beart in Manon de Sources.
