Homestory with Teresa Helbig
Born in Barcelona, ââthe designer was surrounded by beautiful fabrics in her mother’s couture atelier from an early age. There she developed her sense of detail and precision. Together with their creativity, all of this defines their fashion brand. But Teresa Helbig is not only known for her exquisite fashion. Her sophisticated aesthetics are also reflected in her perfume collection. Our visit to her studio in Barcelona was therefore a very special experience.
âEvery single day my mother taught me that much of the beauty of a great fashion creation lies in what you canât quickly see.â
I really like that statement on your website. It reveals that you have an eye for detail. How does that show in your work?

But, in the end, almost without wanting to, no matter how different they may be, all the garments adopt the same flirtatious, rebellious and seductive Helbig attitude, and that makes them unique to everyone’s eyes..
What other advice did your parents give you?
You have to work in something that excite and passionate you, this is the only way to do extraordinary things.
The bulldog is your trademark. Whatâs the story behind that?
Busa (an English bulldog) has been from the first moment my most faithful companion, my best friend. He is the silent witness of the showroom, he sees everything and is present in all processes. He likes to be pampered and to be photographed, he walks through the showroom, sleeps, observes⊠Busa entertains us, excites us and inspires us a lot.
How would you describe your fashion?

To travel during my profession as a beauty journalist was never enough for my. Also my six month on a world trip didn’t do it. It always attracts me to other cities, foreign countries, on roadtrips and places I don’t know yet. But I am not only interested in “culture” and “cream”, I am also fascinated by people who have stories to tell . Such unique experiences I want to share with you.
