The links between the fashion world and the life and work of the Brontës are constant and periodic. Here we have two more samples:

The New York Times introduced us to a new fashion line: Currer Bell. In their own words:
Currer Bell is the vision of LA-based fashion designer Geren Lockhart (of Geren Ford) and London-based textile designer Nancy Parker. The combination of their unique skills has created a contemporary label pairing timeless prints with dresses that transcend season.
Inspired by the insouciant glamour of life in London, Los Angeles and Sydney, this is an intelligent ready-to-wear collection blending high with low, old with new, casual with sophisticated and value with meticulous quality.
The brand is a fusion of the co-creators' lifestyles, finding inspiration in travel, art and literature. Currer Bell is the pen name of Charlotte Brontë, who chose to rebel against society in an era that disapproved of female writers, publishing Jane Eyre under this nom de plume: it's our tribute to life's female protagonist.
And via bestofshopping we have discovered this Jane Eyre Crochet Dress for sale on The Tinsel Rack:
