Amanda Wakeley
Amanda Wakeley is a British based brand which was found by a British woman, Amanda Wakeley. The brand is widely known for its clean-glam aesthetics and chic style dresses, accessories, handbags and wedding dresses. The company was launched in 1990 by the owner and currently has its headquarters in London. Amanda is a self-taught designer and worked for Go Silk before launching her own signature label. Due Wakeley's hard work and perseverance, she received her first British Fashion award for glamor just two years after the launch of her signature label and since then is a winner in the fashion line with her revolutionary contribution to fashion. She won this award a couple of times for her outstanding designs. The brand draws inspiration from 1950's style of sophistication and majorly from Dorian Leigh, who was the first female model to receive public attention. Amanda says that her brand is ‘fundamentally an extension of herself'. Her signature looks ensembles of British looks blended with sporty edginess which gives the whole look very chic, stylish, elegant and sophisticated vibe. She is internationally admired for her clear cut glamorous dresses, which are subtle coloured and luxurious in its details of fabric. The dresses are contemporary styled with subtle colours and textures and are perfect fit for each wearer. Amanda was a model before she created her own fashion line and hence she addresses the need of a woman to feel empowered, stylish, comfy, sensual at some situations in life. Drawing from her own experiences, Wakeley created each design to make the Wakeley wearer feel anything and everything as per their need. Other than creating ready to wear cocktail dresses, the British designer also introduced bridal dresses and handbags too, which are also spiffing, just like most of her designs. Her bridal dresses are most sought-after by the modern brides for their big day. The precise and meticulously crafted detail in each fabric makes it even more elegant and luxurious and adds to the clean cut glam in each dress. The inspirational story of the brand makes the whole label more confident in a holistic manner. Amanda lost her company as her ex-husband sold it to someone else and later situation got worse and she was working in her own company as an employee. Nonetheless, she realized that the company was her dream and then even after purchasing and selling of the company a few times, Amanda did not lose hope in her dream and reacquired her dream company in 2008 and is now financially strong enough to even launch Wakeley lifestyle. She has also been awarded by Prince of Wales an OBE for her remarkable contribution to fashion in February 2010. Amanda's style is worn by many celebrities and public figures including Michelle Obama, Kate Middleton, Princess Diana, Angelina Jolie and many other significant figures. The label is also greatly admired by Princess Diana and her daughter in law wore the label in her engagement too. The poise and sophisticated style in her dresses is uncanny and is admired all over the world.
