Amanda Wakeley Sposa will showcase the new collection for 2010, presenting a luxurious range of dresses, injecting fresh new shapes and contemporary, light fabrics. Cord embroidery is a dynamic and youthful embellishment on the bodice of a satin gown. A parachute hem gives a fresh twist to the traditional train. Gun metal chain detail trims an empire line georgette dress, making a unique statement.

Ian Stuart, voted ‘Designer of the Year’ at the Bridal Buyer Awards, will be bringing his 2010 collection to the show. The range is inspired by Queen Elizabeth 1st, Debbie Harry and Les Folies Bergere.

Top Spanish designer Jesus Peiro will add haute couture style to the line-up with his 2011 collection, drawing inspiration from the myth of Atlantis. New volumes creating free-flowing silhouettes in a combination of fabrics and irregular overlays characterise each piece. Also from Spain Pepe Botella will be making a debut in London.

Italian Domo Adami, founded in 1993 in Milan by Mauro Adami, will be presenting his latest collection. The design house has gone from strength to strength and now has ateliers in Rome, New York, Japan, Hong Kong and Moscow.

Flying the flag for France is the tricolor of Suzanne Ermann, Ugo Zaldi and Cymbeline.

As a graduate of the ‘Employer’s Federation School of Haute Couture’ in Paris, Suzanne Ermann studied with the greatest designers including Chanel and Mugler. Her approach to design has a rare mixture of playfulness and glamour, very much on trend.
