‘This season, while lace is still playing a big part in collections, we are seeing more tailoring using luxe plain fabrics. Our London designers Ritva Westenius and Alan Hannah are taking us back to classic Dior-inspired nipped-in waistlines. Delicate pearl and Austrian crystals adorn neck and waistlines, leaving emphasise on cut.’ Sharon Guest, Brides of York
