A Very French Winter:
Autumn/Winter Conference 2025
EPISODE 6: WINTER DREAM & THE STORY OF BENGAJEAN®
In this special edition, we take a look back at the origins of our most iconic design — the Bengajean®. Join us as we sit down with Belinda Humphrey, the designer who created the very first pair, and Donna Guest as they recount its creation and explore its significance to the Blue Illusion brand. We also explore the enchanting world of Rêve Hivernaux — our newest collection designed to bring warmth, beauty and a touch of vintage charm to your winter wardrobe.
Bonjour,
I’m so pleased to share the final episode in our Autumn/Winter Conference Series. This week, we honour the legacy of our beloved Bengajean® — a piece that has revolutionised everyday style for women. I had the pleasure of speaking with designer Belinda Humphrey, who brought this vision to life over 13 years ago. Her insight and creativity continue to inspire the way we think about design and comfort.
Alongside this celebration of Blue Illusion’s heritage, we also take you into the dreamlike world of Rêve Hivernaux, our vintage-inspired winter collection filled with soft knits, understated outerwear, and romantic prints.
Enjoy this final chapter — it’s a tribute to style, history, and the women who wear it.
Santé,
I hope these episodes inspire you as much as they have inspired us!
Our Autumn Winter 2025 Conference is here!
May you find it both inspiring and insightful. 
Donna Guest,
Co-founder, CEO and Creative Director.
“Style is about feeling as good as you look
— and the Bengajean® was created to do just that.”
