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.

Johanna’s fresh, innovative designs perfectly capture the “modern classic” aesthetic to which today’s brides aspire, and being both a bridal retailer and a manufacturer herself, she knows and understands the tastes and styles popular with contemporary brides. She has established herself over the past ten years as one of UK’s top Bridal designers and has a reputation for service and quality, which is second to none.

The new Mae by Johanna Hehir collection to be launched at White Gallery 2012 is a true reflection of Johanna’s signature style. For this range of dresses she has focused on her favourite slim silhouette shape, taking inspiration from Hollywood style icons of the past and vintage from as far back as 1918. Using a variety of lace, silk and soft georgette, Johanna has created a look for the individual bride who knows her own style.

“We love White Gallery. It’s everything top wedding gown designers could desire. The great venue is easy to get to for exhibitors and buyers and the lovely parkland location by the Thames River is clean, spacious and has a lovely ambience” comments Johanna.

Johanna Hehir’s new collection “Mae” will be showcased at White Gallery London, Battersea Park 20-22 May 2012.

Hazaar’s founders Isoline Hickman and Rachel Farrimond met while studying Costume for the Performing Arts at the London College of Fashion in 2004. It was here that they decided to create a bridal range that would allow versatility for brides on their wedding day while upholding the traditional elegant style of the wedding dress. This took Isoline and Rachel on a journey to create dresses that can take a bride from day to evening without the need for a second dress. Removable over or under skirts create a unique collection of convertible designs providing a change of look without the need to buy a second dress.

With a foundation of training and experience of garment design and construction, both historical and modern, and a love of classic style icons and designers including Dior and Grace Kelly, Rachel and Isoline fully immerse themselves in the design and creation process of each of their gowns carefully sourcing fabrics, trims and embellishments from suppliers in the UK. Creating unique designs with beautiful fabrics that complement each dress to create the perfect movement and structure is paramount.

Hazaar of London will be previewing the latest additions to their collection at White Gallery London, Battersea Park 20-22 May 2012, which include a range of brooches, clasps and embellishments to give buyers the option to customise and personalise the clean simple lines of the gowns with individually bespoke detailing.

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.
