Belgian men’s and womenswear brand Black Balloon has a striking array of personal prints taken from the designers’ family photos, re-worked into fun motifs.
Key pieces for spring 14 include a reversible dress in shades of apple and fuscia, while menswear demonstrated some interesting matching sets as well as basic t-shirts and shirts with contrast panels. Every item is made in Belgium, and the brand is looking to take on accounts in the UK, where it currently does not have any stockists. It caught Drapers’ eye at high-end trade show Premium, where it’s fun designs stood out from the crowd.
Wholesale prices start from €56.
