BRAND



FABRYAN (fa-bri-an) is anything but ordinary. Born not only out of a love for all things fashion, but an appreciation for unique, feminine and alluring designs.

Samantha-Jane’s business acumen coupled with her passion for fashion resulted in the launch of FABRYAN in September 2010, during London Fashion week at Fashion Mavericks.

Creating a distinctive quintessential feminine signature, fused with rich prints and ornately embellished pieces, perfect for a smooth day to evening transition for the modern woman, defines the brand. FABRYAN (London) prides itself on being an exciting new brand, growing and evolving with each collection.

COLLECTIONS

SPRING/SUMMER 2011



Made from a selection of handpicked, opulent fabrics, FABRYAN creates high-fashion timeless elegance, fused with ornately embellished styles. The first collection, launched at London Fashion Week in September 2010, played on antonyms of purity and mystery, with inspiration drawn from yin and yang, day and night, light and dark, resulting in fresh, demure pieces. Key styles from this collection include the elegant red Lola Dress, pure white Navaeh Dress and the exquisite black Saiva Dress.

AUTUMN/WINTER 2011

The new Autumn/Winter 11 collection was launched during London Fashion Week in February 2011. A striking combination of urban glamour, with delicate, deluxe fabrics finished with leather bindings, with extra detail given to ruffles, rouching and the gathering of material. The FABRYAN signature prints played a pivotal role in this collection too, helping to further distinguish each style and offering a real wow factor. Key pieces to watch in the new collection are the Sheffy and Vixen Dresses along with the full hand sequin Luciana dress and Ashley fur coat.

PSYCHEDELIC (ACCESSORIES RANGE)

Taking their creative inspiration from the beauty on display at Kew Gardens, London-based womenswear designers Fabryan have launched a new range of luxury hand-finished scarves as part of their accessories range. Already established as designers of distinctive women’s wear, Fabryan have brought their characteristic cutting-edge styling to new designs that are a visually stunning evocation of the energy and vibrancy of mother nature.

Each is hand rolled with hemmed edges and is made with 100% organic silk using a unique, digital printing technique that give the scarves their fresh originality while ensuring their quality. With bold colour splashes and abstract flourishes it’s no wonder Fabryan have called their new range their Psychedelic Collection. With names like Bird of Paradise, Rainbow and Ripples, it’s clear that nature really has been a powerful source of inspiration for them

SPRING/SUMMER 2012 (THE COUTURE COLLECTION)

Following the summer’s successful launch of their Psychedelic accessories

range, London-based fashion designers Fabryan have unveiled their Spring/ Summer 2012 evening wear collection.

Duchess satin, silk charmeuse and real feathers have been used to create a collection of nine signature dresses in shades of black, red, royal blue, black and white and green. A great deal of attention to detail has gone into the making of each garment with most of the stitching done by hand in true couture style, lending a certain elegance to the look and feel of each one.

The dresses were designed with a philosophy of simplicity and elegance in mind and intelligently matches beauty with style. The new collection marks the start of a new era for the fashion brand, which sees the creation of designs that are redolent of the glitz and glamour of the red carpet. Fabryan are steadily building a reputation as designers of distinctive women's wear and hope that this new collection will really catapult their status as an innovative brand that is setting the pace for others.

The designer behind Fabryan, Samantha-Jane, says that the essence of the new collection is ‘star appeal’. “Our starting point was simplicity and elegance, taking inspiration from the allure and magic of the red carpet.” “The collection is targeted at women who want something special for that big occasion. Whether it’s a charity event, an exclusive party or a summer ball, these dresses command attention and are for women who aren’t afraid of being noticed.”

Each dress in the collection has been given a distinctive name and include a few favourites from the Spring/Summer 2011 Collection..
