“There have been many times in my career as a fashion designer which have felt significant in the moment, times I knew I’d look back on as moments of change, the bridge between the past and future, old and new. This new collection “3” is exactly that.

We’ve had an intense, incredibly exciting summer of brides finally tying the knot and they have been our main focus. Our atelier team have excelled themselves, going above and beyond to ensure every bride’s outfit was perfect for their big day. Personally, I was also forced to slow down too after a knee operation and I was reminded, yet again, of how important it is to take care of ourselves. With this in mind, we made a decision to rest, reflect and re-charge instead of going full steam ahead into a new collection, creating lots more newness which isn’t needed right now. However, the urge to inspire is strong.

This season, we focussed on a small number of pieces, relishing the opportunity to immerse ourselves in craft, indulging in the process of sculpting these designs into their final, striking form. My team and I have explored the boundaries of our fabrics in new and exciting ways, using their capabilities to perfect construction of these simple, beautiful garments for our brides to enjoy and style as they wish. As always, each piece can be worn with heritage Halfpenny London styles, allowing our brides to express themselves fully and be the bride they want to be.”

Over ten meters of Italian silk organza are hand gathered into a voluminous frill, creating the pronounced, dramatic silhouette of the Orchid skirt. With a Duchess satin Cumberbund waistband and a stunning digitally printed floral watercolour design, this skirt is enhanced with the addition of a petticoat for maximum volume for brides with their heart set on a true ballgown shape. Also available in plain ivory.

The Dahlia bow is a detachable, oversized bow in a stiff Mikado fabric.

This stunning crepe dress has a subtle stretch so it fits… well, like a glove! The juxtaposition of the sharp, 3d sleeves and a curvy fit and flare hem creates an interesting silhouette, while the thigh high split and bow back detail add an ultra-feminine feel. An optional, asymmetric modesty panel can be added to the bust which flows through the back detail to create a flowing tulle cape.

These voluminous silk organza sleeves are digitally printed with a pastel watercolour design, held up with a secure internal structure. Also available in plain ivory.

These voluminous silk organza sleeves are digitally printed with a pastel watercolour design. Held up with a secure internal structure, they bubble at the upper arm for a statement look. Also available in plain ivory.

This waterfall cape uses a couture technique to create subtle volume and natural movement with a single piece of digitally printed silk organza. Also available in plain ivory.

Working with the strengths of the Mikado, the construction of the Dahlia dress is a true showcase of this signature Halfpenny London fabric. Featuring a scoop neckline and dramatic pleating which tucks in neatly at the hips creating a visual central column. The Dahlia gives a nod to tradition while details like the square back and hidden pockets look firmly to the future. Can be worn with or without the detachable Dahlia Bow.
