IAN STUART
Designer bridal gowns, with services of made to measure and customising through exclusive bridal boutiques across the UK, Europe, Asia and North America. Special occasion and Mother of the Bride outfits for a confident lady.
Ian trained in London and it was during his fashion education here that he decided to specialize in bridal and evening wear.
His training began at Bellville Sassoon (one of London’s finest couture houses) specializing in creating gowns for socialites and members of the royal family. This training was invaluable to Ian as it gave him the knowledge of cut, proportion, balance and wear ability within design.
After a decade working for other leading bridal manufacturers in London and the New York, Ian set up his own label in 2003, and went on to become a multi-award winning name in his own right and globally recognised as one of bridal’s most creative and innovative designers in the industry.
Based in London, the collection designed by Ian Stuart Ltd was an instant success and attracted worldwide publicity. It continues to grow and prosper today and allows Ian to concentrate on creating collections which truly reflect his passion for innovative bridal design, without any restraints or compromise.
Ian has a glittering array of awards and achievements. A particular highlight came in 2008, when instead of winning Best Bridal Designer of the Year at the Bridal Buyer Awards – which he had won for the last four consecutive years - he was instead
awarded the Outstanding Contribution to the Industry accolade. Usually reserved for designers with at least two decades’ more experience in the bridal industry, this was an unprecedented achievement for a 42-year-old who has only been designing under his own name since 2003.
