Last week I was privileged to attend the launch party to celebrate couture designer Nina Naustdal’s first collection showcased at the Nina Naustdal Couture boutique on London’s Walton Street.
"The Jewellery Dress" draws inspiration from precious stones - dazzling yet entirely unique in their beauty – Nina Naustdal Couture’s first collection features show-stopping cocktail dresses and gowns in fluid, jewel-toned Italian silks. 
Glittering with hundreds of individually hand-applied Swarovski crystals, Nina Naustdal’s dresses evoke the splendour of fine jewellery with dramatic yet feminine silhouettes in a rich colour palette of caramel, gold, ruby red, amethyst, sapphire blue and emerald green. 
“As a setting is to a perfectly-cut diamond, my pieces incorporate cleverly-disguised corseting and boning to present a woman as a beautiful gift to behold...” says Nina Naustdal of her collection.
Norwegian-born designer Nina Naustdal’s passion for design stemmed from childhood: from a very young age, Nina had a highly specific vision for womenswear, sketching out designs on her kitchen table, which her grandmother – a seamstress by profession – would then make up for her.  
In order to make steps towards making her dream of becoming a fashion designer a reality, Nina Naustdal pursued a career in catwalk modelling.  However this failed to satisfy her hunger for creativity and she soon left modelling behind.  Hesitant to enter into the world of fashion without formal training, Nina Naustdal enrolled at the prestigious London Esthetique in Norway, then going on to launch Nina Naustdal Beauty.
Finally, unable to ignore her calling for design any longer, Nina enrolled at the Esmod Oslo School of Fashion and Design in Oslo; where she honed her intrinsic talents before going on to establish her label Nina Naustdal Couture.
The launch event saw many celebrities showing their support for Nina and her latest venture.  Guests such as Sinitta, Hofit Golan, Nick Knowles, Jessica Moor, Claire Guerlin, and Emma Rigby sipped champagne in the sunshine at the Walton Street Boutique, all in awe of the talented designer and her exquisite wearable jewellery.
