We are pleased to introduce the Textile Forum London x Atelier House UK collaboration. This partnership stems from a shared vision: Creating an artful garment to exhibit at our show, bringing together expert craftsmanship, high-end textiles and Textile Forum London exhibitors.
Leading the creative vision, Jennifer Crooks, CEO of Atelier House UK, outlined the gown’s silhouette, colour scheme and overall concept. The gown is currently in the making, thanks to the generous contribution of Textile Forum London exhibitors Pongees, Bennett Silks, Bridal Fabrics, Sanmartin, Stephen Walters, Michael’s Bridal Fabrics and National Weaving.
Each exhibitor sent a stunning selection of luxury fabrics to Jennifer, who is working on bringing the gown from concept to reality. Amy Packham, Textile Forum London’s Event Director, commented:
“This project is a beautiful team effort between Atelier House UK and leading high-end textile companies and manufacturers. Textile Forum London exhibitors have joined forces to create a stunning gown crafted from the very best in luxury womenswear textiles. We cannot wait to show you the final product this October at the show!”
The gown will be exclusive showcased at Textile Forum London on 9 and 10 October 2024 at One Marylebone in London. Click here to book you free ticket.
