Ian Stuart has always had a passion for fashion, art, music and theatre. This passion was the driving force which determined his future as a bridal gown designer.

During his fashion education in London, Ian specialised in bridal and evening wear design, for which he won numerous student awards. Upon graduating, Ian began his training at Bellville Sassoon, one of London's finest couture houses, who specialise in creating gowns for socialites and members of the Royal Family. This training was invaluable to Ian and gave him the knowledge of cut, proportion, balance and wearability within design.
