Christopher Kane and Alex Monroe Launch Beauty & the Beast Collections

The launch of the new Disney movie “Beauty and the Beast” brings with it the inevitable merchandising.  We’ve seen this before with the Cinderella movie last year and the OZ movie, which spawned a whole line on HSN.  But, the fashions from British designers Christopher Kane and Alex Monroe are way more than movie merchandise, they are beautiful. If you don’t believe us, check out the pictures–be our guest 🙂 Sorry we couldn’t resist that little pun.

The Christopher Kane Beauty & the Beast collection features many of the fairy tales classic symbols including roses, tea cups and princess type touches lie bows and pastel colored dresses. The fabrication of the collection offers a unique twist, they are made with sustainable materials using ethical sourcing. Eco-Age is the brainchild of Livonia Firth.  Two pieces from the collection the organic cotton Photographic Rose t-shirt, and the Swiss Rose Lace dress are particularly stunning.
