Hannah Marshall Reinvents The Little Black Dress

Redesigning the little black dress is a pretty big task to take on, but Hannah Marshall has done it without thinking twice. Her collection of amazing, black garments earned her the title "the queen of the little black dress" by Aishti magazine, while her use of contrasting fabrics have made her one to watch in the industry.

After graduating from Colchester School of Art and Design in 2003, Marshall worked for Jonathan Saunders before moving back to East England to work on her own label out of her countryside studio. After Marshall is now part of the London fashion set that creates dresses for those they wish to dress, including Allison Mosshart from the Kills and the ever-iconic Grace Jones. Using luxe fabrics such as leather and chiffon to make gorgeous silhouettes, Marshall also adds a signature trait to all her dresses by embossing Braille coding on the inner lining.

Worn by rock goddesses as well as those who adore glam goth, Hannah Marshall has acquired a name in the industry for providing fine luxury that will not age.
