The collection made from Rebecca’s intricately knitted fabrics use the finest most luxurious of yarns, which are then embellished with clusters of glossy antique silver and platinum sequins mixed with shimmering shells or twinkling swarovski crystal that drip to the floor in a breathtaking fishtail. Rebecca’s wizardry on the knitting machine coupled with the most exquisite yarns, trimmings and embellishments results in a truly one-off stunning gown.

The signature knits have proved a hit with some well-known ladies from Alesha Dixon to Nicole Scherzinger of the pussycat dolls who regularly wear pieces from her mainline collection. Rebecca’s talent in and love of creating fabrics and her passion for impeccable finishing and detail is evident in the collections and had gained her the title of ‘Fashion’s new golden girl’ by Vogue.

The collection is available made-to-measure from the Rebecca Cella studio in London For more information contact info@rebeccacella.com

This new, beautiful and modern collection is designed with the fashion conscious young lady in mind, yet manages to complement and reflect Nicki’s renowned flower girl range – now known as the Cygnet Collection. By using the same fabrics, colours and styling details, all encompassed in age-appropriate designs, she has ensured that both collections will lend a co-ordinated and sophisticated look to any bridal party.

The latest Nicki Macfarlane Collections are dripping with the most beautiful, delicate detailing, using the finest of fabrics. From satin bows at the shoulder to Peter Pan collars, ribbon waistbands and organza sashes, Nicki has successfully merged a variety of textures to give her dresses a unique, modern edge. In interpreting catwalk styles, including 1950s-inspired full-skirted dresses with nipped-in waists, she has ensured that even the most particular teenager will approve!

Lace continues to be the fabric of the moment and the 2013 Nicki Macfarlane Collection highlights why this is a fashion that every girl would love to wear, whatever her age. With a choice of delicate eyelet lace, cotton embroidered lace or even lace with added sparkle – there really is something for everyone.
This season features an exciting new palette of colours, including vibrant sunset, luscious lawn green and floral tones of wisteria and violet, each evoking the beauty of wonderful summer days.

Last year, Nicki was given the honour of creating the bridesmaid dresses for HRH The Duchess of Cambridge. As well as her ready to wear collection, Nicki also offers a bespoke service and offers appointments in either London or Wiltshire.
