Jo Lynch of Bela’s Dead has again collaborated with Klaus Haapaniemi (a Finnish illustrator) for her newest collection: Forbidden Fruits - luxurious lingerie with spooky undertones. The combination of Klaus’s artwork, depicting anatomical, floral drawings inspired by the Forbidden Fruit from the Garden of Eden, together with Jo’s designs allows us to enter into the dark world of seduction and experience another side to luxury. As we normally associate luxury with glamour and well-being, Bela’s Dead is certainly an ‘alternative’ label with its devious and (as Jo puts it) unnerving qualities; it is however a welcome change to see a designer who doesn’t comply to the ‘norms’ and actually dares to go against the grain - if artists always delivered chirpy, happy paintings, life would be pretty dull! We love anyone who puts their creative soul into their designs and it certainly appears that Jo Lynch has done so; that said, we musn’t dwell on the dark side and it should be pointed out that the Forbidden Fruits collection brings with it beautifully designed, silk lingerie fit for elegant women who enjoy a combination of artistic flair and glamour.
