Ian Stuart, who will be exhibiting believes that ‘White Gallery
will provide an elegant plateau where designers can show their
collections in privacy.’ Another designer, Suzanne Neville,
explained her desire ‘to support this sector of the industry so it
doesn’t become fragmented’ as one of her reasons for
attending.
Taking place annually in May, White Gallery is positioned as one of
the first exhibitions in the international bridal buying calendar.
As a world leading capital, London is well-suited to host this
event, with its rich heritage of art and design, culture and
entertainment, food and fashion, and there is no venue more fitting
than the stunning new Saatchi Gallery. It is a building with a fine
history, in a world-famous location, with vast minimalist spaces
that provide the perfect backdrop for an elegant and stylish
show.
White Gallery will also be hosting fashion shows, with Amanda
Wakeley, Alan Hannah, Ian Stuart, Johanna Hehir, Ritva Westenius,
Stewart Parvin and Suzanne Neville showcasing their 2011
collections from their own named brands on the 23rd and 24th
May.
