At the London Yacht, Jet and Prestige Car Show that took place at Old Billingsgate Market in early May, the Prestige Fashion Catwalk Show featured the collections of lingerie brands Raine & Bea and Sonata Rapalyte.  

Celebrity designer Raine & Bea showcased lingerie pieces similar to what they recently designed for singer Fleur East.  Sonata Rapalyte finished the lingerie show with their sheer lace designs, accessorised by jewellery brand Elvyra Design.

In the women’s ready-to-wear segment of the fashion event that formed the grand finale were designs by Monaco based Eva Roje who showed a classic leather collection.  While hand-made body jewellery from ANK Jewellery added sparkle to the event, fashion designer Dahlia Razzook showcased cocktail dresses, trouser and tops.  The Cyprus based designer, madebyZA showcased their chic jackets, dresses and blouses, and Nidhi Yasha presented hand embroidered jackets, dresses and skirts.  British brand Bianca Elgar, styled their beautiful and versatile silk scarves in two different ways on the runway.  Italian designer label Nana e’el’ by Nanaaleo finished the catwalk show with their elegantly hand-knitted dresses.

A selection of luxury swimwear brands was also the highlight of a runway show organised by Prestige Fashion, a partnership between Irina Dobbs (UFFR) and Joseph Bachman of Calico.
