It’s all happening in the run-up to September with new collections

launching, stores opening and even babies being born in time for the show!

Twisted

traditions

For autumn 14 bridalwear

designer Elizabeth Stuart

has given her modern

take on romantic fairytale

dresses. Exquisite

silk organza and tulle

fabrics have created soft

silhouettes but offer a

strong point of difference

as throughout the

collection the designer has

given traditional gowns a

twist including crop top

separates, laser cut fl owers,

scalloped lace. and blush

bodices. Elizabeth has

shown no fear in straying

from the conventional

with this range and high

necklines have also been

used repeatedly across

the collection, while other

outfi ts, including a cropped

top with a billowing skirt

showing off a fl ash of

mid-riff, are perfect for the

more daring and fashion-

forward bride.
