Stewart Parvin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stewart Charles Reginald Parvin MVO (born September 1966)[1] is a British fashion designer, best known for his couture gowns.

Early life and education

Stewart Parvin was born in September 1966,[2] in Wokingham, Berkshire, to Dennis and Juliana V. Parvin nee Barker. He has a sister Amelia born 1971. He studied fashion at the Edinburgh College of Art.[3]

Career

Parvin worked for the couturier Donald Campbell, before starting his own Stewart Parvin label in 1995.[3]

Parvin has been designing clothes for Queen Elizabeth II since 2007, and in March 2016, the Queen presented him with the Royal Victorian Order (RVO) whilst wearing a Parvin purple patterned day dress, specially designed for the occasion.[3]

Parvin designed Zara Tindall's ivory silk bridal gown for her 2011 wedding.[3]

In January 2018, Parvin was the bookmakers' favourite to design Meghan Markle's dress for her wedding to Prince Harry on 19 May 2018.[4]

Philanthropy

In response to COVID 19, Parvin designed and donated scrubs to NHS workers,[5] Frimley Park Hospital being the first receiver.[6] According to Parvin, Anita at Classic Textiles[6] donated the fabric required for production of the dresses and some of his workers volunteered for the cause.
