Belle Epoque by Stacy Peterson The Belle Epoque or “Beautiful Age,” was an era of great prosperity and cultural exuberance from 1890-1914 in Europe. The Belle Époque collection by Stacy Peterson "is inspired by the magnificent homes of that era and the gardens within. It is feminine and romantic in nature, with an emphasis on florals. The main print features a heavenly spirit, who still wanders her estate caring for her flowers. The patterns range from delightful ladies taking selfies, to fluttering moths and playful cats peeping beneath blooming wisteria. I explore the graceful lines of the art nouveau movement and the strong graphics of art deco." Fabric Back in Stock!
