Story

Inspired by a true story from the early ’60s: a Parisian fashion designer convinced a family to let their daughter join a top French fashion house. 

She took the stage name “La Belle”, became a global icon in the Atelier’s Cabine, and her elegance and independence inspired this updated French label.
