As a child Louise Anderson bemused her parents with her devotion to exploring
charity shops in search of vintage pieces, hand made silk laces, old silk satins and
embroideries. Today she still finds elation in discovering a precious vintage piece. What
she loves most about these treasured fabrics is the beauty of natural fibres, exquisite
quality and embellishments. One thing that has not changed is her addiction to luxury
textiles.

Suggesting she was born in the wrong era, Louise’s design college tutor would today
be applauding her successful 20 year career as one of New Zealand’s most respected
bridal designers, and the winning of the American Express Canterbury Bridal Designer of
the Year three years running.

Some may describe her design ethic as rehabilitated modernised Victorian, others as a
fitting tribute to silver screen goddesses. Ultimately, Louise Anderson gowns are adored
by brides in full romantic mode as they celebrate their union.

Whispering of exotic angels and ancestors past, creations of an ethereal nature are the
themes portrayed in her bridal wear this season. Whether delicately infusing silk chiffons
with antique hand crocheted laces, or playing with sari inspired draping, these red carpet
pieces are sublime.
