About

Natalia has been designing and producing dresses for more than 20 years. Influences for her designs include her love of music, dance and art. A particular interest in the classic styling of the 1920’s and 30’s golden era of style influences much of her creative work.
As a keen swing dancer Natalia’s floaty and feminine collections are inspired by the movement and energy of these dances.
Much of the bridal collection is named after seminal musical styles and songs of the 20’s and 30’s. Artists influencing her characteristic style include jazz clarinettist Artie Shaw, trombonist Tommy Dorsey, Duke Ellington, Annette Hanshaw, Clare Edwards and Al Bowley.

Natalia’s interests outside dress design include painting, jewellery and ceramic design and sailing

Philosophy

bridal and evening wear

Owner and lead designer Natalia is renowned for her distinctive style, which emphasises feminity, elegance and sophistication. Using fine silk materials and her artistry with a variety of techniques such as appliqué, embroidery, beading and hand painting, each dress reflects her drive to create items of great beauty.
