Teresa Helbig – Join the Club
There was rich storytelling for the Teresa Helbig show, as we were invited to join the Helbig Club, where for one night only this private club has opened its door for us to see inside. We were told its a place where people smoke, debate, dance, discuss and above all, speak their minds and dress very well. The people are united by culture, respect, camaraderie and an infinite love of fashion.
The collection showed great passion and creativity. Within it each garment was a masterpiece rather than an element of a cohesive collection. Having viewed the pieces backstage, I saw that there was a great attention to detail and perfectionism in the handmaking, which resulted in each piece being beautifully crafted. Within the collection there was everything from bold python to innocent tulle, beautiful raffia and crochet work, sophisticated leathers and chenille embroideries, all in delectable colour tones. Alongside the garments, I discovered some stunning accessories with many of the bags and jewellery pieces featuring a quirky gold bulldog head. I wanted them all from the bull dog rings, necklaces to clasps, so will be adding these to my wish list.
