Ever thought that working with family was complicated? Well, think again; the mother-daughter duo Bernadette and Charlotte De Geyter will prove you wrong. With their fashion brand “Bernadette”, they have already skyrocketed to success in just over a year and a half!

Based in Antwerp, mother and daughter create ethereal silk dresses with floral prints hand-painted by Charlotte, who studied at the Royal Academy of Arts of Anvers and worked in fashion for six months in London before coming back home.

Bernadette de Geyter recalls how delighted she was when her daughter called her from London asking if she wanted to create a brand with her.

Both women have always enjoyed foraging for vintage clothes together. They have amassed over the years, quite a collection of antique lingerie, robes and nightgowns with beautiful lacework. The mother-and-daughter team finds inspiration in their vintage collection and iconic women such as Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn and Ava Gardner, but also Brigitte Bardot.
