Designer Spotlight: Temperley London

Happy Monday!

Have you guys ever prepared photos and topics for a blog post, but never get around to actually working on it and posting it? That's what happened to this particular post -- I prepared it way back in January, forgot about it, and just barely saw it now. So, here we go! ;)

I absolutely love Temperley London's designs -- they are beautiful, feminine, and they seem to flatter almost everyone.

“She has a head for business and a heart that appreciates what women really want. Her style is unconstrained and you feel she has no desire to follow the leaders. Accordingly, her creations, which are governed by elegance rather than the fickle demands of trend-setting, are granted a rare longevity.” 
-- Susannah Constantine and Trinny Woodall (The Daily Telegraph), on designer Alice Temperley

Some celebrities who recently wore Temperley London on the red carpet:



Julie Bowen wearing the Long Draped Scarlett Dress from the S/S 2012 Collection to the 18th Annual SAG Awards.
Jennifer Morrison wearing the Deco Beaded Dress from the S/S 2012 Collection to the 2011 American Music Awards.
Busy Philipps wearing the Long Tassle Dress from the S/S 2012 Collection to the 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards.

And of course, probably the most famous lover of all things Temperley London:
none other than HRH Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge.

The Duchess wearing a) a custom-made black lace dress to the War Horse premiere in January 2012, b) the Titan Dress on her first public appearance with Prince William as an engaged couple in December 2010, and c) wearing the Moraiah Dress to Wimbledon in June 2011.

Just like her older sister, Pippa Middleton is also often photographed wearing clothes from Temperley London:

Pippa wearing a) the Bespoke Dress for the evening reception of the Royal Wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in April 2011, b) the Long Begonia Dress from the A/W 2011 Collection to the Boodles Boxing Ball in October 2011, and c) the Grace Top from the Cruise Collection in September 2011.
