From the setting of rural southern Greece, Nymphi’s designer Varvara Dimitrea has fused her influences to present her debut White Gallery London collection. It features statement cuffs and collars, delicate lace, matte silks, intricate beading and floral accents, creating pieces that are edgy and modern yet maintain a nostalgic, ethereal and dreamy feel.

“Nymphi is our passion and our love and as we put so much into every piece we create we are always excited about getting out there and showing people what we do. I think the creative atmosphere of White Gallery London will give us the freedom to show what Nymphi is all about”, comments Varvara.

As newcomers to White Gallery London, Nymphi plan to make a big impact on the show’s visitors. Their intention is to create an eye-catching stand that will not only showcase their stunning new pieces but also allow visitors to get a true feel for what inspires them.

Held in Battersea Evolution (Battersea Park) during 19-21 May 2013, it attracts the most exclusive retailers and influential press from around the world.

10.00am Stewart Parvin

While retaining his signature aesthetic of classic elegance for 2013, Stewart Parvin is giving the collection a lighter, fresher, younger more feminine edge. Using only the best quality fabrics sourced from France, Italy and the UK, the new collection upholds the standards of quality and design integrity for which Stewart Parvin is renowned.

12.00pm Ian Stuart

Drawing inspiration from a recent break in the French capital, Ian has used his masterful draping skills to recreate rippled fondant textures he saw used by couture confectioners, and created a sugary pastel colour palette as seen in the finest Parisian tea-room décor. In true Ian Stuart style, different eras are depicted and reworked for the modern bride. The 2013 collection includes hints at Edwardian, Jacobean as well as the style iconic 50s and 60s. And for the fashion-savvy bride, Ian has experimented heavily this season with reworking the composition of the traditional wedding gown.

2.00pm Alan Hannah

Think big skirts, with the rustle of paper taffeta and sharp fitted bodices in an array of fabulous beaded laces and damasks. Debutant styles are back with a real sense of drama and presence – cowl necklines in silk slipper satin with plunging backs and gorgeous accessories to give maximum sophistication and timeless style. Texture is the key, we are using the most luxurious Italian silks with intricate detailing and hand beading. Lace is also prominent, but lace with a difference. Alan Hannah want to provide some surprises too so will keep those under wraps until the White Gallery!

4.00pm Anoushka G

Wedding Couture by Anoushka G has created a collection of Exquisite bridal gowns. Each gown has been designed to make every bride feel and look amazing on her special day.
