Rachel Gilbert

Whether the occasion calls for black-tie elegance or cocktail-party glamour, Australian designer Rachel Gilbert’s eveningwear promises a show-stopping entrance. With her eponymous label launching in 2007, after spending more than a decade designing womenswear for other brands, she is now famed as the queen of glittering gowns. Dramatic silhouettes and luxurious fabrics are designed with a directional approach - think asymmetric cuts and body-sculpting fits, opulently embellished with intricate hand beading. From floor-skimming chiffon to structured neoprene, the contemporary ready-to-wear collections have often been spotted parading the red carpet, with the likes of Taylor Swift and Heidi Klum dressed in the brand’s signature numbers.
