Belinda Chorley
Belinda Chorley is a fashion designer from Great Britain – based in North London Crouch End (www.beyondbridal.co.uk) Her fashion design connects three elements – bridal expressions, burlesque and corsets (by the way, Vivienne Westwood’s specialist corsetiere). Why is Belinda so unique? All the answers are found in the development of her professional career – she studied in Bristol and gradually started to collaborate with influential artists like Massive Attack, Dead or Alive, The Pet Shop Boys, Cathy Dennis and Aztec Camera – these guys were setting up trends in the industry. Then, a street fashion and fetish played a significant role since she opened, quoting, “her own fetish and club-wear shop in Brighton – the award-winning “Snog on Rocks”. What a move, don´t you? Extraordinary!
Recently, Belinda has been dressing some famous show-biz names including Angelina Joli, Gillian Anderson, Rebecca Bottone, Greta Scacchi, Nancy Dell’Olio and Dawn French. Moreover, her corsets were used in a blockbusting movie Anna Karenina where we could see stunning “corset” look of Alicia Vikander and Keira Knightley.
It really was a privilege to photoshoot Belinda Chorley collection during Bratislava Fashion Days in Slovakia.
