From timeless LBDs that will be your go-to for years to come to lovely lace styles and dazzlingly embellished gowns, there's something for every lady who loves a little luxury.
Purveyors of party wear, Bernshaw have been supplying the elite with fabulous evening dresses for the red carpet since the forties and have since seen their dresses worn by the likes of Jean Shrimpton and even Twiggy. Today they grace the likes of pop stars and news readers, presenters and magazine covers. Designer Sara Brett (above left) described the new collection as "combining the glamorous and feminine Bernshaw signature, with a sophisticated modern look and an easy-to-wear feel." So to celebrate these luxurious new arrivals we spoke to the lovely Sara to find out more.
