Bella Freud quits Biba

Bella will now concentrate on her own eponymous label - which includes a capsule collection she has recently designed for London's Dover Street Market. The news comes in the same week that Clements Ribeiro announced they are to leave Cacharel, where they have been designing for seven years. Like Bella, the British duo will now concentrate on re-establishing their own label, Clements Ribeiro, and contributing to new website, www.couturelab.com, which will host an exclusive collection from the twosome in November.
