Meet Bibi Lucille – A Creative Activist in Film and Fashion
In partnership with Elegant Initiative
Meet Bibi Lucille, an actress and scriptwriter based in London. She’s just started her fashion activist brand named B.LUCILLE that tackles and promotes various social causes. BL’s dresses are made-to-measure and is a unique women’s wear brand to feature EMF protective fabrics in its garments in addition to being made of exotic vegan fabrics.
Timeless, Luxury, Ethical Couture
The “B. Lucille” couture collection pays homage to the timeless beauty of impressionist art, translating iconic masterpieces like Renoir’s “The Swing” and Vermeer’s “The Astronomer” into wearable works of art. Each dress is a careful study in colour, texture, and movement, meticulously crafted to capture the essence of the original paintings. Underscoring our dedication to environmental responsibility and animal welfare, every fabric used in this collection is vegan and sustainably sourced. From the delicate chiffons that billow like clouds to the richly hued velvet accents, each material is carefully selected to minimise our ecological footprint.
“My whole life, I have been an actor. More recently, I have ventured into writing. But I could never have guessed that 2024 will be the year I start my own couture clothing brand. Fashion was something that I took an interest in at an early age but left the hobby dormant in childhood; my last brush with fashion being in textiles at high school, before being whisked away by Literature, French and, of course, Drama for GCSE. I was a painfully shy kid, and in my hazy memories of school can recall burrowing myself in the art block, where I would fumble with sewing machines and shoddily tie dye bits of loose fabric. One of our first assignments was to create an apron (which lived in the back of my wardrobe for many years before I finally found the strength to throw it away). I worked on this apron for many hours and through countless lunch breaks, creating a pink tie dye aesthetic with the word BIBI in bold on the front pocket. When it was finally completed, the teacher proudly mounted it on a mannequin, telling me that I was the first Year 7 to have my work displayed amongst the GCSE students’ fashion projects. As that apron stood proudly on the porcelain, headless doll overlooking the entire classroom, I felt an overwhelmed wash of pride. I was good at something.” Stated Bibi
With B.LUCILLE, Bibi Lucille has created a brand that not only celebrates individuality and style but also empowers individuals to make a positive impact on society. Through her fashion activist brand, she aims to raise awareness about important social issues such as animal cruelty, and inspire others to join the movement. So, when you wear a B.LUCILLE dress, you are not just making a fashion statement, but you are also becoming a part of a larger community that strives for positive impact.
Scriptwriting and Activism Via Film
Starring in the upcoming short film named ‘The Silver Lining’, through the medium of film, “The Silver Lining” provides a platform to explore these concerns and spark important conversations about the impact of EMFs on our lives. By weaving the issue into a compelling narrative that is both entertaining and thought-provoking, the film engages audiences in a way that traditional educational campaigns cannot. Bibi will also be releasing the film ‘Meat Cute’ which is an adaptation of the critically acclaimed play. ‘Meat Cute’ follows the story of the impassioned vegan activist, Lena, who attempts to turn all her dates vegan as a form of activism. This farcical comedy details the life of a woman desperately seeking to implement change and influence in an indifferent society.
“Acting was the only thing I could remember ever wanting. Even as a kid, I don’t remember a time when I wasn’t glued to some old film on one of those 90s box TVs, watching a VCR and wishing I was Marilyn Monroe. Acting was the only thing that brought me out of my introverted shell and created a space where I could play and forget the world. Ironically, acting is the thing that let me be wholly myself. Veganism was also something I was always intensely passionate about, so fusing acting and activism together felt like some form of paradise. It was great to finally realise that I could do what I loved and make a meaningful change in the process.” Said Bibi
Bibi Lucille’s B.LUCILLE brand is a true testament to her creativity, passion, and commitment to making a difference. By combining exquisite craftsmanship, EMF protective fabrics, and exotic vegan materials, she has created a brand that is not only fashion-forward but also socially conscious. So, if you’re looking for a dress that not only makes you look stunning but also allows you to contribute to a better world, look no further than B.LUCILLE.
