<strong>BLESS</strong> is a visionary substitute to make the near future worth living for.<br />
She is an outspoken female - more woman than girl. She’s not a chosen<br />
beauty, but doesn’t go unnoticed. Without a <strong>de</strong>finite age she could<br />
be more bet<strong>we</strong>en her mid t<strong>we</strong>nties and forties. B. hangs around with<br />
a special style of man. She h<strong>as</strong> no nationality and thinks that sport is<br />
quite nice. She’s always attracted by temptations and loves change.<br />
She lives right now and her surroundings are charged by her presence.<br />
She tends to be future orientated.<br />
<strong>BLESS</strong> is a project that presents i<strong>de</strong>al and artistic values by<br />
products to the public.<br />
