Fashion and design under the spell of botany | Je Suis Belle x VITRIN

The lines of idyllic motifs evoking gardens spread across Je Suis Belle’s latest collection titled Botanika. For Budapest Design Week, the patterns moved from the silk shirts to the chairs boasting exciting design solutions. We visited Je Suis Belle and VITRIN’s joint pop-up event!

Many Hungarian brands started to pursue new strategies in the face of the epidemic, Je Suis Belle being one of them: the brand relocated to a new environment, where the impulses of nature can influence the creative work. Several unique pieces of the Botanika collection presented this spring were made by reinventing found materials in the spirit of upcycling. The plant patterns appear on the silk, cotton and viscose shirts, dresses and canvas bags as stylized line drawings, and keep renewing on the pieces of various design, color and fabric from time to time, thus mirroring the circle of nature.

In the framework of Budapest Design Week, Je Suis Belle and VITRIN operating as a showroom teamed up to organize a joint pop-up event, where, in addition to viewing the collection rich in botanical motifs, the audience could also check out four chairs distributed by VITRIN with the plant patterns designed by Tibor Kiss, the designer of Je Suis Belle.

360-degree panorama over nature in a forest near Prague

This treehouse blends in with its surroundings almost completely, offering a view not only over the forest, but the sheep grazing nearby, too. Czech architect Jan Tyrpek designed a cozy treehouse on the forested private area of Hrusice near Prague. The aim of the installation-like hut is to bring the
