Emilia Wickstead is a well-kept secret among fashion insiders in London - but not for long. Her elegant eveningwear is reminiscent of the kind of chic evoked by Parisien women in the ‘60s, but cut in a way to make it feel fresh and modern. Made to measure at relatively affordable prices (starting at £130), clients can choose the fabric and colour of a dress to their own specifications. The Central Saint Martins graduate, who has been working flat-out from her Chelsea showroom since launching her eponymous label a few seasons ago, says that the Emilia Wickstead girl is "Chic. All the time. No matter what she wears or where she goes" - a fair description of Wickstead herself, who is always impeccably turned out in her own designs. Up next, she's planning to find some outlets to sell from, but in the meantime clients can contact her directly at emiliawickstead.com.
