Bridgerton stars sport regency outfits by British up-and-coming designers

A recent project saw a partnership with Netflix inspired by the highly acclaimed Original Series Bridgerton,  commissioning three young scholars to create regency garments.

The period drama, starring Phoebe Dynevor as the eldest daughter of the powerful Bridgerton family and debutante of Regency London’s marriage market, has been widely acclaimed for its costumes by designer Ellen Mirojnick.

The BFC Scholars Aurélie Fontan, Edward Mendoza and Shanti Bell, were mentored by Designer Richard Quinn to create fabulous period costumes worthy of modern-day gossip columns. The final designs were modelled by the stars of the serie: Phoebe Dynevor, Nicola Coughlan, Claudia Jessie, Adjoa Andoh and Golda Rosheuvel and photographed by Amber Pinkerton.

Gemma Juviler, Commercial Director, British Fashion Council said: “This year has been one of the hardest for the British fashion industry. 

“This collaboration with Netflix illustrates the vital position fashion plays in television, the actors' characters were brought to life by our scholars’ beautifully designed looks for the campaign shoot. 

“Richard Quinn, awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design in 2018, has also played an instrumental part in mentoring the scholars during the design process – demonstrating the power of BFC’s network and the importance of education in this partnership.”
