UK-based designer for Eugenie’s dress

-

Princess Eugenie has already revealed a British-based designer is behind her wedding gown, and that she was set on the style she wanted from the start.

‘‘(The dress) is the one thing that I was really decisive about,’’ the princess told British Vogue magazine.

‘‘As soon as we announced the wedding, I knew the designer, and the look, straight away. I never thought I’d be the one who knew exactly what I like, but I’ve been pretty on top of it.’’

The princess, pictured, the youngest daughter of the Duke and Duchess of York and granddaugh­ter of the Queen, will marry commoner Jack Brooksbank at Windsor Castle on October 12.

She hinted at her ideas in an interview with BBC’s The One Show on the day her engagement was announced.

She said 1980s style meringue shoulders were off the table.

Erdem – often a favourite of Eugenie’s – has been suggested as one of the front-runners for the wedding gown.

The princess wore a floral, capsleeve dress by the designer for her engagement photo shoot at Buckingham Palace.

Erdem was founded by Erdem Moralioglu in 2005, and he is known for his sweeping dresses and floral prints.

The Canadian-born, Londonbase­d designer counts the Duchess of Cambridge, former US first lady Michelle Obama, style doyenne Alexa Chung and actress Keira Knightley among his celebrity clients.

Ralph & Russo, who designed the gown for Meghan’s official engagement photos, could also be a contender, as might Stewart Parvin, who made Zara Tindall’s wedding dress. –PA
