| (Born 1962)BRITISH designer Amanda Wakeley is well known for the simple elegance of her clothes. Self-taught designer. Worked for Go Silk in New York before launching under her own name in 1990. Primarily known for subtly coloured and multi-textured eveningwear, and pared-down classic daywear. Weather it's a sophisticated cocktail dress, a modern ballgown or a Twenties-style beaded chiffon dress, Amanda Wakeley is the place to go if you are after beautiful sexy eveningwear. Light loose materials ensure the styles are as comfortable as everyday wear, while modern cuts (and slits up the thigh) add a naughty edge. The Sposa ready-to-wear bridal collection is elegant and simple, and the classic suits, in neutral beige and black. Successful markets in Britain, USA and Japan. |  |
