The Bahamas exclusive premiere of\u00a0 the \u201cFrill Me\u201d collection is taking place simultaneously with showings in London, New York and major cities throughout Europe.\u00a0 It also marks the 10th anniversary of\u00a0 Ian Stuart\u2019s Fashion House, \u201cThe Collection Designed by Ian Stuart Limited\u201d and the June opening of his new flagship store in Knightsbridge , close to Buckingham Palace. Currently he has two gowns displayed with other iconic gowns, next to that of the Duchess of Cornwall,\u00a0 in The Royal Victoria and Albert Museum in London.<\/p>\n<p>Ian is an award winning designer, well known internationally, in the U.K., Europe and the U.S.A.\u00a0 After graduating, he worked at Belleville Sassoon, one of London\u2019s finest couture houses specialising in creating gowns for socialites and members of the Royal Family. Subsequently he moved on to design bi-annual collections for leading bridal and evening wear manufacturers in London before making a career move to New York where he created bridal wear labels sold throughout the world.<\/p>\n<p>The next step, naturally, was to launch his own bridal wear brand fashion house based in London and \u201cThe Collection Designed by Ian Stuart Ltd.\u201d was an instant success attracting world-wide publicity and subsequently earning him several industry awards.\u00a0 He says that launching his own brand has allowed him to focus on creating collections which reflect his passion for innovative bridal designs. This is immediately obvious when one sees the gowns. He has succeeded in providing every woman\u2019s dream frock no matter what their taste or style, from traditional to modern to daring, they are all exquisite.\u00a0 In fact, many of them could be worn to any glamorous evening event and not just wedding occasions.<\/p>\n<p>Innovative and creative as he is, not surprisingly, many of his designs are day dresses and glamorous suits perfect for the ladies of Parliament, female executives and those important meetings or engagements.<\/p>\n<p>His Production Manager is flying in to produce this important show with Loretta Robinson-Thomas and Jim Whitehead. The gowns are on their way as is the music and make-up for the models. Nothing is left to chance to ensure brand recognition.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xzHmBLuECeQ\" height=\"309\" width=\"550\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>For an advance peek at what you can expect to see you can go to his website at<br \/>\nwww.ianstuart-bride.com<\/p>\n<p>A limited number of tickets are available at Platinum Bride Couture, Parliament Street, $75 each.
