Italian designer Alexandra grew up in Rome before completing her studies in California. After working in the fashion industry for 6 years, she decided to set up her own business. Alexandra began her venture by studying Fashion Accessories at the prestigious Cordwainers College in London before creating her luxury bag label Alexandra de Curtis.

Inspired by style icons Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn and Sophia Loren, the bags are beautifully hand made in Italy with the highest quality leather and natural materials. The gold clasps finish the elegant clutches perfectly and will instantly add glamour to any outfit. The latest addition to our accessories collection, these clutch bags are just the right size – big enough for your phone, lipstick and money, but small enough to hold on the dancefloor!

These bags are perfect for bridesmaids / mother of the bride / wedding guest; a must have rental to pair with one of our dresses and complete your look!

Blue Bridalwear was established in 1991 by designer Angela Pitcher Dowdell and the gowns feature signature clean lines and uncluttered decorative details.

Faces are framed by cute Peter Pan or elegant roll collars; shoulders are covered with gorgeous Guipure Lace or delightfully embellished organza; hemlines sit prettily just below the knee or fall to the floor and into a train. Silhouettes are full or circular skirted, princess line or long and slim flaring from the knee; all flatter the waistline. The fabrics used include crisp Silk Zibelines and softer Silk Dupions contrasted with exquisitely embellished French Lace, crunchy Guipure Lace and sheer Silk Organza.

Blue Bridalwear’s designer Angela Pitcher Dowdell says, “I am so excited about this new collection and I am delighted to be launching it at The White Gallery. We had a fantastic show last year, The White Gallery attracts quality designers and buyers and I look forward to more of the same this year.”

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.
