Ian Stuart, who will be exhibiting believes that ‘White Gallery will provide an elegant plateau where designers can show their collections in privacy.’ Another designer, Suzanne Neville, explained her desire ‘to support this sector of the industry so it doesn’t become fragmented’ as one of her reasons for attending.

Taking place annually in May, White Gallery is positioned as one of the first exhibitions in the international bridal buying calendar. As a world leading capital, London is well-suited to host this event, with its rich heritage of art and design, culture and entertainment, food and fashion, and there is no venue more fitting than the stunning new Saatchi Gallery. It is a building with a fine history, in a world-famous location, with vast minimalist spaces that provide the perfect backdrop for an elegant and stylish show.

White Gallery will also be hosting fashion shows, with Amanda Wakeley, Alan Hannah, Ian Stuart, Johanna Hehir, Ritva Westenius, Stewart Parvin and Suzanne Neville showcasing their 2011 collections from their own named brands on the 23rd and 24th May.
