Aniston, Hayek or Knightley adore The Vampire's Wife. But a terrible secret lies behind the brand...
Stars swear by a vampire
Although the brand has only been on the market for 5 years, Hollywood celebrities from Jennifer Aniston through Kylie Minoque, Keira Knightley, Kate Moss and Dakota Johnson to Salma Hayek have fallen in love with it. Why? Not only is The Vampire's Wife brand perfectly stylish and timeless, but it also conceals a powerful life story that will move you to tears.
From a model to a fashion designer
The person behind the Vampire's Wife brand is Susie Cave, a former model, muse and wife of Australian screenwriter, musician, author and composer Nick Cave. The charismatic brunette who used to walk for the most luxurious fashion houses such as Versace, Yves Saint Laurent, Vivienne Westwood or John Galliano in the past, had higher goals and decided to start her own brand in 2014. Thus the model turned into a designer, and it needs to be added, a damn successful one. However, her way to the top wasn't easy...
A tragedy of a lifetime
Shortly after the launch of the brand, Susie and her husband had to face a difficult trial of life. Their only 15-year-old son died tragically due to falling off a cliff after taking drugs. Someone might have been brought down to their knees by such a tragedy, but Susie Cave dove into work and started creating as a form of therapy. When she remembers this time today, she says work helped her purge herself of negative thoughts and get through the difficult situation.
The brand's name comes from a novel
The brand bears the name of an unfinished novel by Nick Cave and is characterized by a touch of Gothic and Victorian charm. Amomg the brand's trademarks are mainly mini, midi and maxi dresses of shiny silk or chiffon, adorned with distinctive ruffles, patterns and luxurious splendour.
