"Designing for 2023 made me think back to being 23 years old, so full of exuberance and bravery, at the very beginning of my career. I’m now twice that age. I’ve changed, as we all do as years pass, yet some things remain the same. Back then, I somehow always had the courage to turn right when all signs pointed left. Thinking back, I may have been more naive than brave, but what a wonderful thing to be able to look back at my younger self. What message would I give her? There’s a lot that I could say, but mostly I’d encourage her to believe in herself. To be brave. To have courage.

It’s been quite a year for me. Much soul searching has been done, with lots of reflection on the past. 2023 is also is the year we celebrate our 10th anniversary of our flagship store and what an adventurous, wild ride we’ve been on with so many incredible, inspiring women! I’ve undergone many changes in the last ten years and, by extension, so has Halfpenny London. With maturity comes self-acceptance and I believe that’s the fuel which keeps courage burning. With this collection - with every one of my designs in fact - I wish to inspire courage in every woman as she takes her own leap of faith into a new chapter in her life.

This collection is a celebration of courageous acts, of rebellions against the status quo, and the conviction to forge one’s own path. We’re created a diverse, playful edit of bold silhouettes and thoughtfully constructed pieces. We’ve continued to push the boundaries of our fabrics in new and unexpected ways, while clever construction offers new styling opportunities for the big day and beyond."

This delicious cupcake of a dress was inspired by a bride I worked with on a bespoke gown a few years ago. The Sadie gown has layers of tulle gathered to create a magical, fluffy skirt which is juxtaposed with a clean, sleek bodice, cut shorter at the centre front to show off an incredible pair of shoes! So light and easy to wear, this gown is an homage to my bride and her effortless style.

Drapes of silk crepe create a striking halter neck bodice with a peekaboo keyhole detail and elegant draped sleeves. The skirt has a split in the centre front with a perfectly formed small train. The option of removable ties offer an alternate look for this beautiful gown.

An abundance of gathered pleated silk organza erupts from the shoulder to frame the open back of this delicious silk crepe gown. Constructed using the signature Halfpenny London flattering fit, where seam details are placed at key points on the bodice and hip to work in tandem with the shaping darts on the back, perfectly showcasing and embracing your curves.

An ultra flattering stretch Duchess Satin dress which utilises our knowledge of the female form to offer the ultimate fit on every body. Alternate layers of soft, then stiff tulle create a graphic peplum at the hem which dips into a subtle train.

A dream in stunning silk, the pleated sleeves fan out like wings on this dramatic low-back gown. Bust darts are positioned to ensure a flattering fit, elegantly falling into a slinky bodice then a magnificent full godet in the centre back creates a beautiful train.

This incredible tulle skirt bursts out from the Evetta mini dress to create a stunning, dramatic silhouette. It attaches to hidden buttons in the dress for a seamless, built-in look, and can be added or removed for a dramatic outfit change throughout the day.

Meters of decadent silk cascade from delicate pleats attached to a collar which is fastened at the back with silk domed buttons. The extra-long cape is secured and supported by an inner bolero-style jacket of fused silk and shoulder pads which forms the foundation of this architectural silhouette.

A fun, chic addition to the Evetta mini dress, this textured tulle peplum attaches to ingenious hidden buttons to create a seamless look, perfect for a city wedding or for dancing the night away, not to mention the fact that you’ll be able to wear this look again and again.

Light boning and soft panelling gives the boat-neck Maestro top its structure, offering support and smooth lines. Shown here with the Maestro skirt, this three quarter sleeve top is effortlessly chic and also looks incredible paired with our other skirts or trousers.

The most delicate chiffon is hand-draped across the corseted bodice which then continues across the décolletage into off-the-shoulder, full-length sleeves. A light-as-air chiffon skirt flows beautifully into a full train over a Duchess satin column skirt, visible as the chiffon floats around your curves.

These incredible gloves are constructed with taffeta and lined with soft tulle to create this dramatic, slouchy, glorious look. These gloves will add a high fashion element to any look in the collection.

Constructed using soft taffeta and lined with stretch Duchess, this dramatic yet feminine piece is playful puffball skirt. A dipped hem is perfect for showing off a killer pair of shoes and I simply had to add some hidden pockets for all your wedding day essentials.

Delicious oversized frills of bagged out silk organza are gathered onto a flexible, Duchess satin covered elastic band. Designed to be worn in a multitude of ways, this is a dramatic layer to add to any outfit for a unique look.

A micro mini in a matte stretch Duchess - one of our hero fabrics - which offers such incredible support and really makes you feel held and secure, especially with the lightly boned bodice. Clever hidden buttons in the hemline allow you to add a dramatic Tulle skirt or a mini frill to create multiple looks throughout the celebration, or for events surrounding your big day.

This ethereal tulle cape is hand beaded with subtly shimmering sequins and beads arranged in intricate rose motifs which grow organically from the choker neck, over the shoulders, then fade throughout the extra-long train. The neck tie has added length for extra drama and can be tied in an epic bow, or flow freely down the body.

The Rara cape has a box-pleated mikado train which is anchored in a softly boned back harness with ruched matching mikado straps. Finished with French seams and a delicate pin-hem, this mega cape looks incredible on its own over one of our dresses, or pair it with the Rara shrug for a stunning, statement look.

Like the Jubliee cape, these fine tulle gloves are hand-beaded with subtly shimmering sequins and beads. The embellishment is arranged in an intricate rose motifs which organically draws attention to the ring finger.

A magnificent open-front, taffeta skirt is integrated into an expertly cut stretch Duchess column dress via soft pleating at either hip. Simple straps flow into a deep V back which meets the skirt at a concealed zip closure at the waist. Hidden pockets are the perfect finishing touch!

Weighty mikado ensures this beautifully constructed bow shrug holds its structure. It looks incredible worn with one of our dresses, or pair it with the Rara cape for ultimate drama.

Classic, clean and timeless, with a Halfpenny London twist. Panels of silk crepe antibes are constructed to hug the body. A demure high neckline and long sleeves are juxtaposed with an open oval back with an invisible zip fastening and beautiful silk crepe domed buttons at the nape of the neck. An elegant, grown-on train completes the look and optional pleated cuffs offer further styling opportunities.

A double layer of delicate silk chiffon, finely pleated and gathered into this playful frilled cuff, a surprising pop of detail for the Cirque dress, or other long-sleeves designs in the Halfpenny London collection.

Finely pleated silk organza is extravagantly layered onto a satin cuff to fasten around the wrist. Wear with our Cirque dress, or other long-sleeves designs in the Halfpenny London collection for some added drama.
