Ms. Leung wanted a line for her own shop to satisfy three basic requirements: beautiful styling; flexibility of the range to flatter a variety of shapes; and affordability. Her focus was to bring stylish, designer wedding gowns to modern brides. With the success of her bridal collection, she was encouraged to launch her collection throughout England and the U.S.
Ms. Leung has also added wedding shoes and complimenting veils to her collection to offer brides the complete look.
Dynamic Duo Born in Denmark to a Danish Italian mother and British Chinese father, Ms. Leung divides her time living and working between London and Hong Kong. After her first collection, Ms. Leung teamed up with her stepmother, June Leung, an award-winning designer in her own right.
June Leung, who received her Masters of Arts in Fashion & Textiles from The Nottingham Trent University in England, brought her passion for art deco and period piece jewellery to the collection - very much in evidence by the extravagant detailing found in key pieces.
They spend their time between the sample rooms and equally important, travelling the world for inspiration. Successful from the start, this young company has been awarded three British Bridal finalist awards within the first two years of introducing the label.
