We also sit down with Louis Abel founder Jimmy Loutfi for an in-depth interview about how his own wedding rings marked the start of a new chapter in fine jewellery, and look ahead to New York Bridal Fashion Week for the silhouettes, details and ideas that will set the tone for the coming season.

From idea to reality – Valerie designed her own wedding dress
As a designer and fashion icon, Valerie wanted to create her own wedding dress. The result was a unique, elegant and personally inspired dress.
Valerie Aflalo explains that she wanted a modern wedding dress that felt both festive and elegant. Inspired by Kate Moss’s wedding, she created a long, slim-fitting dress with a plunging neckline and long sleeves. The dress was embellished with embroidery, pearls and Swarovski crystals.
“I wanted something that felt accessible, lovely and a bit sexy too,” says Valerie.
The wedding dress was designed with both the reception and the ceremony in mind – and went on to become a style that proved popular with other brides. Valerie also explains that she still keeps the dress in a lovely box, as a reminder of that special day and her work as a designer.
