"Bella Belle's latest shoe collection, Edelweiss, is inspired by the namesake flower grown in the Swiss mountain region. Rare and pure, Edelweiss symbolizes an everlasting love and undying devotion. Folklore has it that presenting your loved one with Edelweiss is a profession of an eternal love and lifetime devotion. The shoe collection features everlasting details, such as pearls and lace. You will also find delicate, white floral buds depicting the Edelweiss. The collection also highlights our devotion to our craft - creating shoes that make women feel stunning and comfortable in."

"Love and devotion stand the test of time. That is the message weaved in this magnificent editorial. To capture the essence of the collection and its sentimental symbolism, we commissioned the brilliant Laura Gordon behind the lens. She brought the concept to life with her exploration of light and shadow in each frame she composed, creating a sublime quality that’s hard to forget. Set in a century-old building with aging details, the backdrops convey the essence of the passing of time. To evoke resilience and hope of an undying love, Naomi DeManana created lush blooming field of meadows against paint-chipped walls. The team from Facetime Beauty added a touch of youthfulness with glowy natural makeup and wind-swept hair. Romantic tulle and blossom-filled dresses envisioned by Gabrielle Hurwitz looked remarkably haunting against dilapidated chairs and other century-old elements. All the elements are brought to life through Joy Proctor’s masterful eye and touch. In the end, the Edelweiss shoe collection that represents love and devotion, is effortlessly translated in this editorial."
