My little trip to London for the beginning of London Fashion Week allowed me the pleasure of the Fashion International showcase at the Amba Charing Cross Hotel. As well as seeing the darling Pakistani designer, Omar Mansoor I also got to meet the exquisite Yuvna Kim at the shows after party.
Yuvna Kim Noeuds et Ruches LFW
Mauritius born, UK based designer Yuvna Kim is a designer to the stars, best known for haute couture, red carpet designs and lavish bridal gowns. Her collection for Spring/Summer 16, Noeuds et Ruches, translated to “ruffles and bows” was spectacular. I had the pleasure of seeing two of the dresses close up at the after party and they are just divine. A fantastic dazzlement of ornate, embellished and embroidered gowns with depth and texture like no other. To be a Yuvna Kim bride would be a dream. I have my dress all sorted for the big 2024 day but it would be amazing to try on some of Yuvna’s designs.. perhaps for my next red carpet event!
The new SS16 collection showcased her signature style of evening and bridal gown drenched in crystal work. Yuvna makes breathtaking dresses, using crystals, beads and pearls to exude an air of glamour and romance. Can you imagine attending an event in such a sparkle, you would wow on the red carpet! Or perhaps a dress for the wedding day? It would be just a like a dream for the bride and such a fabulous beaded gown from Yuvna Kim would bring such a smile to your new husbands face, as well as cause an intake of breath as you walk up the aisle.
For the Noeuds et Ruches collection Yuvna Kim brought feathers to tulles and georgettes. Combining an ivory and nude palette true to the Art Deco style she emulated with her collection. Truly magnificent, yet with a softness and sparkle of a night that shouldn’t be forgotten.
