Tulisa’s style has become increasingly demure and classic over the weeks on X Factor. For Sunday’s results show, Tulisa looked stunning in a classic black lace, waisted dress by Stephanie Allin.

Originally an award-winning fashion bridal designer, Stephanie Allin is renowned for her flawless fit and mix of demure detail and sensational style in her exclusively British made gowns.

Stephanie has a boutique in Marylebone, Central London and has recently launched an evening wear collection modelled by Strictly Come Dancing’s Natalie Lowe and Katya Virshilas at Harvey Nichols’ OXO Tower and One Marylebone.

Fabrics play a key influence and her gowns are tailored using the finest materials and accentuated with carefully chosen accessories. Paying keen attention to every facet of her work, she is also greatly influenced by the various trimmings that catch her eye, from lace and beading to sequins. It is this meticulous detailing that has become the signature of the Gemy Couture collections.

Although they may seem simple from afar with a paired down silhouette, up close her designs are in fact a complex display of superior craftsmanship.
The Gemy Couture Bridal collection for 2013 features stunning fashion-forward wedding gowns that will appeal to a spectrum of tastes with their diversified cuts, shapes and exquisite details. In addition to the traditional ivory and white is a selection of beautiful pastel colours adding an extra harmonized dimension. Taffetas, tulle, lace and chiffon all combine to reveal innovative designs that respond to every bride’s dream wedding dress.

“White Gallery London is the perfect location for the presentation of our Couture Bridal collection, especially as it focuses on a select number of high caliber designers and creates the ideal atmosphere for both buyers and exhibitors” comments Gemy Maalouf.

The 2013 Gemy Couture Bridal Collection will be launched at White Gallery London, Battersea Park 20-22 May 2012.

The 2012 Bridal Collection “Modern Craft” is composed of four main collection lines each channeling statement style from memorable eras. New Sun features gorgeous crochet, fringing and feather additions with inspiration drawn from Asia. Figure hugging bodices accentuate the bride’s figure whilst contrasting skirts provide fluid movement. Introduced as an alternative garment to the dress, the jumpsuit is an option for the bold bride.

Lumiére pays homage to the creative power of 1920’s classics creating a quintessentially French vintage feel in delicate and rural rustic blouses which can be contrasted with grunge touches found in skirts and accessories. Bohemian Luxury plays on the romanticism of the 1970’s hippy music scene. Bell-sleeved sheer blouses ooze femininity whilst daring bra-tops are teamed with full length maxi macramé skirts encompassing the true 70’s rock ‘n’ roll vibe. Le tre Grazie is a sophisticated and exquisite line, inspired by the charm and beauty of the three Greek goddesses of joy. 1930’s and 1940’s glamour returns in the shape of mermaid dresses with halter necks dominating the collection. This range boasts elegance worked with high quality precious gemstones, laces and tulle applications, silks with feathers and embellished with pearls.

The fashion forward element of YolanCris’s creative designs has become their Hallmark; the wedding industry waits with baited breath to witness their latest offering at White Gallery London on 20-22 May 2012.

Excited by the renewed interest in costume, with the revival of period dramas and era films, Ian has studied the finer details of such gowns and reinterpreted them for the modern bride. In contrast, inspired by methods of great couturiers past and present, Ian has spent time exploring his exceptional flair for inventive pattern cutting, creating stunning shapes and silhouettes that will excite the next generation of fashion-conscious brides.

In focusing his efforts to merge the old with the new, Ian has sought out some alluring and contemporary fabrics. A stunning selection of jacquards, brocades, and prints sit beautifully alongside the traditional silks and taffetas he already uses. And remaining true to his love of colour, Ian has opted for a deliciously sweet palette, in chalky and glazed tons of sugary pastels and café crèmes.

Texture is also featured heavily in this collection. Ian has been developing new fabric treatments that he has used to for both subtle and dramatic effect, as well as using his masterful draping skills to create intricate textures and clever detailing.

His passions and talents are fused seamlessly to create a collection that is distinctive, cutting edge and unmistakably Ian Stuart. See these striking new designs in full glory on the White Gallery London Catwalk at 12 pm 20th May & 21st May.
