A Special Occasion

2nd July 2010
Category: Fashion Tid-Bit
Amanda Wakeley has been drawing a steady stream of style insiders to her store on the Fulham Road since launching her label in 1990. Known for her beautifully draped evening gowns, Wakeley designs for every body—fans ranging from Queen Rania to Helen Mirren can attest to that!
With her Rajasthan-inspired spring/summer 2010 collection, Wakeley presented a mix of dhoti-style trousers, flashes of shimmering embroidery and draped gowns reminiscent of the finest saris.
A recent collaboration with of-the-moment Danish shoe designer Camilla Skovgaard yielded the ultimate summer party shoe—striking heels rendered in zebra-print ponyskin and chocolate brown, complete with Skovgaard’s trademark comfy rubber sole.
“This is truly a shoe for women designed by a woman,” explained the designer, “Supremely sexy but utterly comfortable. I know that I for one will be living in these shoes this summer!”
