THE BLACK LAKE DISTRICT the symbolic world at the heart of Sylvie Swan

from where you stand to the world you long to touch

somewhere between imagination and reality stands a white mansion overlooking a black lake. around it, a cemetery, a boutique, a bistro, and a village of women creating heaven.. on earth.

founded by Belgian business-artist and mentor Sylvie Swan, this universe blends immersive experiences, symbolic storytelling, self-discovery, spiritual exploration and sisterhood, celebrating truth, beauty, desire, co-creation and freedom.

from the playful exploration of girlhood to the haunting confrontation with self-abandonment, each collection opens a new door into the world - and the woman exploring it.
