Having grown up in Somerset, Alice Temperley moved to London to study at the Royal College of Art and Central Saint Martins before setting up her company Temperley London in 2000. She is well known for the beautiful fabrics and hand-finishes she uses in her designs. Alice Temperley has been named as ‘the designer making the biggest waves in British fashion’ by American Vogue.

Alice by Temperley dresses feature luxurious layering, rich tailoring and sexier shortened lengths, all of which give the collection increased depth for its designer positioning – covering day, cocktail and evening wear. Overall, Alice by Temperley dresses weave a little bit of romantic folklore into everyday life with an overall savvier, funkier and very wearable feel.
