Ekaterina Ignatieva lives and breathes fashion – and has done so since she was a little girl in Moscow, refusing to wear warm clothes in winter just so she could look fashionable! Born in Russia, she inherited her love of sewing from her grandmother. She grew up in Australia where she recently completed a Diploma in Fashion Design and later moved to London to pursue a career in the fashion industry. She currently works for bridal wear designer Shane Ryding at Luella’s Boudoir and in time plans to start up her own label. Browse some of her designs here.
Laurel Waldron is a whiz with a needle, learning the tricks of the trade at an early age from her dressmaking mother. After studying GCSE and A Level textiles she was hooked and went on to study Fashion & Lingerie Design at DeMontfort University. After graduating, Laurel pursued a career in fashion PR and journalism, but is excited to return to her creative roots. She recently established her own eponymous lingerie brand and has also turned her hand to bridal wear. For more information visit her web site
