Bernshaw Clothes

Bernshaw Dresses Section:

Sara Brett is the Design Director at the family owned eveningwear design company, Bernshaw.

Founded in 1945 by Sara's late grandparents, Phyllis and Edward Bernstein, Bernshaw remains a family business and is now one of the UK's leading eveningwear design companies.

Whilst Sara designs three collections a year, she has never been to Fashion College - having a natural gift for design, she learnt the ropes from the bottom upwards (not unlike French designer Jean-Paul Gaultier).

As a young child, Sara often visited the Bernshaw studio and was captivated by the design business. During the school holidays she worked in the studio, helping out with all the odd jobs and, after leaving school at 16, Sara went to work for her family professionally, doing "everything and anything".

However it was not until ten years ago that Sara began designing for Bernshaw. Previous customers had regarded Bernshaw as having an older image, but over the last eight years, Sara has diversified the collection to encompass a wider and younger audience. Sara believes there should be "something for everyone". The Bernshaw collection has a designer look at an affordable price.
Sara has often looked to the glamour of Hollywood for inspiration. In 1993 Bernshaw interpreted Demi Moore's Indecent Proposal dress. In 1994 THAT dress of the year with the "safety pins" - as worn by Liz Hurley. Summer 2000, the collection was influenced by the glamorous gowns worn at the Oscars…such as the pink gown worn by the teary Gwyneth Paltrow or the red dress worn by Lucy Liu. And who could forget the Julia Roberts vintage gown worn at the Oscars 2001, recreated by Sara.

Celebrities including Natasha Kaplinsky, Sophie Anderton, Claire Sweeney, Jodie Kidd, Caprice, Davina McCall, and Martine McCutcheon, amongst numerous other TV personalities, have worn Bernshaw in the past.

Heterophobia ? addressing a controversial mannequin
Does the dominance of gay fashion designers suggest an endemic heterophobic propensity by the fashion illuminati which is manifest in its most insidious form by the pervasive tendency to corrupt the female body image by persisting with anorexic “de-feminised” models as a paradigm of perfection ultimately undermining the male/female synergy? … or perhaps the fashion [...]
