“Les Amours de la Belle Epoque”

The series is created around 'fashion, styling & glamour' and is inspired by one of France's most creative and inventive era's: 'La Belle Epoque' . The 'Belle Époque' (French for "Beautiful Era") was a period in European history that began during the late 19th century and lasted until World War I. Occurring during the time of the French third republic and the German Empire, the Belle Époque was considered a "golden age" as peace prevailed between the major powers of Europe, new technologies improved people's lives, and the commercial arts adopted modern forms.

Within this concept, more than ever, Sandra has reinvented her trademark of strong, vibrant women, who radiate a value-driven personality through bold 'what-you-see-is-what-you-get' - facial expressions.
