Ozzie Clark Original Wedding Dresses

On the eve of the Royal Wedding, we've been contemplating Kate wearing vintage...

Ozzie Clark Original Wedding Dresses

and what could be a better example of a British designer doing 'wedding' than the amazing Ozzie Clark.

We met the charming Mark Butterfield recently, at the London Vintage Wedding Fair. He and his wife Cleo are the founders of C20 Vintage Fashion and over 40 years they have assembled a unique collection of some of the best examples of twentieth century fashion design.

Mark told us his inspiring story, which started with a few single purchases of Ozzie's dresses...

The company now has the largest collection of Ozzie dresses in the world and have collaborated with many museums including the V&A, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and the National Portrait Gallery.

If this is your thing, you have to contact him!  We were truly blown away by the cut and fabric of these dresses - the two featured here were actually at the wedding fair and for sale.  Other designers in Mark and Cleo's collection include Dior, Galliano and Biba.

They are based in Devon but you can buy or rent from their website http://www.c20vintagefashion.co.uk/ , or call them on 01626 366 437

    What a beautiful dress. It would be perfect for a wedding, and you could actually wear on your anniversary.

    We agree, Benita! And having seen this dress in the flesh we can vouch for how beautiful it was!
